Yes, this was taken today. And yes, this was taken near the Blue Ridge where the sun was out in all its glory...at least that's what I think that bright yellow orb in the sky was. With almost no wind and amid bright sunshine today felt like a mid-October day near the mountains. Unfortunately I re-encountered the annoying cloud-deck-that-won't-depart by the time I got back to Lignum (east of Culpeper) on Route 3. The good news is that we should see an abundance of sunshine the next few days.
