There are just some homes that you are so happy to list. This is one of those for me. It also happens to be a home that I sold to the current owners. It was not only a very striking home when they purchased it but it is even better. They have added a beautiful stacked stone fireplace, shutters which make the home even more attractive and a really neat firepit in the professionally styled landscaped backyard.Lovely, quality custom built home in sought after neighborhood. Gourmet kitchen with gas cook top, electric double ovens, stainless steel appliances, wet bar, wine coolers, hardwood floors everywhere, stacked stone fireplace, 2 pellet stoves, hot tub, finished lower level, 3 master suites, very large screen porch, office, rec room, boat slip, fenced back yard, deck, and patio. Situat...

Sharing Lake Anna with our grandchildren is one of the things that brings us the most joy. There is not a better way to spend your time than to see them in the water having the time of their life. Whether it is swimming, fishing, kayaking, water skiing, or simply horsing around, it is a pleasure to see how much fun they can have. If you were lucky enough when you were a child to spend summers on a lake you know just what I'm talking about. Not only is it fun to have the grandchildren here to share the fun with, we enjoy having the "big kids" here also. Having siblings together and cousins together makes us all happy. Lake Anna is a wonderful place to create memories not only in the summer but any time of the year. The lake has its four seasons and each one presents a different picture o...

Canadian geese enjoying a layover near Lake Anna. While Lake Anna is the spot that we have chosen to spend the majority of our time, not everyone or everything can do the same. Today on my way to a walk-thru I almost missed a large gaggle of Canadian geese resting in a field. It was only the fact that three stragglers were taking their time crossing the road that I happened to look to my right and saw the rest of the flock enjoying a break. SPOTTING CANADIAN GEESE TAKING A BREAK NEAR LAKE ANNA Usually I have one of my cameras in my car but today I only had my cell phone so I was unable to get a really wide angle photo. This shot shows just a few of the geese. It is not even that easy to spot all of the ones here but they go way back to the tree line. One of my recent posts mention my Ac...

Catching up on a little time together. A week or so ago I was driving near the lake and came upon a scene that struck me as something I wanted to capture in a photo. It meant turning around and turning around again so that I could get close to a mom and young boy spending time together. Where? Well, it just happens to be one of my favorite places, Lake Anna of course. ENJOYING LAKE ANNA TOGETHER  I asked the mom if it would be all right if I took a picture of the two of them together and she said it was fine. I am so glad I stopped to do this. These are the types of photos that I enjoy taking. When I come across a scene that depicts the things I love about Lake Anna I like to share it with others. This is one of those times.
