Walking with my Wife....

You may already know that I take a daily walks with my wife
(see http://activerain.com/blogsview/204880/MeMe-OK-I-feel )

This is a picture of one of our favorite places to walk (just a couple minutes from our home). Not sure you get the real idea of how peaceful this area is? Today we started to see some leaves falling as we are getting cooler weather!

There is a lot to see on these walks! Sometimes we see other walkers and runners (several friend and neighbors) from around Charlottesviile's surrounding areas.

There is a lot of wild life, squirrels, birds and deer.

Occasionally we hear the horn of local Fox Hunters. Then the dogs run by us followed by the riders on horse back. It goes from quite to extremely active.

One of the nice things we see on our walks is some of the most beautiful estates in our county with Blue ridge Views! (see photo).

Yes, that is the barn, the main home is over the hill....

When we are out touring the area looking for that perfect home for you, remind me to show you this slice of Virginia! It is worth the trip!

Charles, looks like some great scenery. Unfortunately to take a walk like that, we have to take a drive first. Here in Northern Virginia there are some walks that are quite nice, like along the Potomac River and in some beautiful parks. We have a great 40 acre park near us with a man-made lake and some nice streams, but nothing beats truly getting out into nature like you do with your wife.

WOW great pictures. Spending time together and walking trough that scenery must be quite nice for you both. Have a super weekend Charles.

I love the Blue Ridge - we really don't have anything approaching this kind of natural beauty in Florida - we do of course have wonderful beaches and some very nice springs and state parks, but nothing quite like this.

Charles, you live in a very beautiful area...thanks for sharing a bit of your walk on your post. The pictures are lovely....

I get to walk on a regular basis in a wildlife refuge bordered by the Occoquan River. We have all the usual wildlife and the added bald eagles, osprey and blue heron. I do miss my weekend home in the Shenandoah Valley at this time of the year when the leaves start to change.

Charles - that is absolutely beautiful! I remember my first time to VA I couldn't believe how green everything was! Thanks for sharing!

BRIAN - Yes we are both blessed to be in the beautiful state of Virginia

K&R - the times with my wife are very special to me!

SIMON - We love the Blue ridge too!

JO - you are welcome

CINDY - Shenandoah Valley is amazing in Fall!

NAOMA - We are a green area, even with as little rain as we have gotten this year!

Charles, Those pictures are just gorgeous! I am from back east and it is a whole differnt scenery than the west. I have visited most of the east coast and now am working on the west coast. Both are beautiful in their own way. It is great to be able to see all the different sights in the US.

ROBERTA - It is beautiful. I was born and raised in California (which has it's own beauty too). I just love the area we live in and I love to share it with friends and clients!

Charles, You are truly making some great memories for the two of you... how fortunate that you have learned something that a lot of us in the business have not... make time for family.... balance

STEPHEN - Balance is a good word!

Charles - What a beautiful area you live in and these are breathtaking photos ! I look forward to seeing more photos like this..hint..hint...

Hi Charles, beautiful scenery! Since my job is real estate :-) I just have to know how much the estate with the barn (nice enough to be a house) might sell for and how much land would be included? Don't suppose you have a picture of the main house, do you? It's so different from what we have in Central Florida. Have a great Sunday.

MELISSA - I am working on it partner!

GAIL - I tried not to give to much information on that Estate for the privacy of the owners. The fact is there are several Estates on this walk. To give you an idea of size, I heard they have a full time staff of 37 people to run the property. As far as price, these usually sell before going to the public, or they are handed down from generation to generation. Believe it or not I just heard the foxhound horn out my window and my wife is calling me to go for a walk! I am off......

WOW!! That is beautiful. What a wonderful place to live. Thanks for sharing the pictures and info.

BARBARA - you are most welcome!

Charles - WOW! I love where you walk. It is a true slice of heaven.

I have never been to Virigina but if I do visit you may get a knock on your door! Thanks for sharing. :)

JANICE - Stop by anytime, my wife and I welcome visitors! But be warned, once you visit Virginia, California never looks the same!!! lol

Charles, it looks positively Idyllic there!

Those are great pics..have you put them on Localism yet? You could create a travel brochure with those.

ERIC - I agree this is a beautiful area, we are blessed!

Charles,

This is absolutely beautiful, everything is sooo green. I can't believe that is the barn, looks like a great place to walk very peaceful and relaxing. :)

SUZANNE - We walk there almost daily and it is beautiful!

Charles, I don't know how I missed your post earlier. We have great walking memories. My husband now has walking difficulty so we confine our walking to short ones - he has even had to give up the treadmill at the gym, Karen www.e-virginiarealestate.com

KAREN - It is a great way to spend time together and stay healthy too!
