Photo Friday: Slowly

Author: After all these years in Virginia, I still can’t get used to these wrecks that slowly disintegrate along the sides of country roads. This one is along the road going to James River State Park, where we do the Tye River Kayak/Canoe Race every year.
This is my contribution to the weekly photography challenge at PhotoFriday.com. The topic this week is Slowly.

Weekend at James River State Park
Last weekend, Dan and I rented a lodge at James River State Park with two other families (Danny, Sally and Alex, and Paul, Terry, Katie and Nick), our dog Pippen, and Danny and Sally’s dog Cody. The occasion was the Nelson Downriver Canoe and Kayak Race in Nelson County. After the race, we enjoyed a picnic by the river and then medals were awarded. Paul and Nick won second place in the Open Canoe/Father & Son class. Way to go, guys!
The lodge has a fully equipped kitchen, six bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a back porch with rocking chairs, a picnic table and a large grill. We brought food and drinks, grilled dinner, and generally had a great time. I beat Sally and Terry at Scrabble, Danny beat everyone at poker, and we had a fabulous Sunday breakfast cooked by Paul.
When I have time, I’ll put up a regular photo album of the weekend, but here are some snaps for now:
