Williamsburg Candy Village

In 2007, Second Baptist Church Houston, Texas did something very special at Christmas time. Along with many other Christmas activities, the Bible Study classes all had the activity of building a ginger bread house based on an actual home from Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. The homes were then placed into a village setting. Many people toured the "village" and of course experienced the warm welcome of the church family. I was fortunate enough to come in during the morning hours before many arrived and captured some of these scenes which I hope you enjoy.

Summer Fun?

Out on the boardwalk of Virginia Beach on April 11, 2011 between 11:30am and noon. The number of trucks, and other heavy equipment, competing with the beach goers at this time of day was quite high. It was actually a dismal sight. This video was taken near 25th street where a man named Michael Knockett was crushed - and killed - by a city dump truck, while out on the beach, the morning of June 28th 2010. None of the trucks, that I saw while making this video, were using ground guides at any time. But, it seems that Virginia Beach city workers are protected under Sovereign immunity while in the performance of their jobs, so, I'm very careful while out, at anytime, on this particular beach. At position 3:49, on this video, the tractor driver appears to get out of his cab and pickup some clothing that he shakes out and throws into his cab before driving away. I'd hate to be in the water and find that my clothing (wallet and keys too) had been stolen. I often wonder how many watches and wallets these tractor and truck drivers "find" during the summer months.
