Purple and white wild flowers that grow prolifically on the roadsides throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Here are a few of the sights of Swoope in western Augusta County earlier this week.

February 24, 2015. Our drive along the back roads of Swoope in western Augusta County along the foot of the Appalachian Mountains took us past North Mountain Outfitters where one of their longhorns posed as I took photos.

February 24, 2015. It was an overcast, cold winter day as we headed out to drive the back roads of western Augusta County along the foot of the Appalachian Mountains. Clouds were moving in and the temperature was 23 degrees with a stiff breeze that plunged the wind chills into the teens. I snapped this pic from our neighborhood as we began our journey.
