I enjoy walks through the Kentlands and Lakelands communities in Montgomery County, Maryland.  When I have a camera in hand, I try to capture the changing colors of the season.  If you have photographs from your favorite places, please share them in the comments for this post.

Prices are low, mortgage rates are low! Great time to buy? Confidence in the economy is low and loan approval rates are low! Those who fight the odds are going to make a terrific deal! Enjoy the day!

Good morning to all.  Wallace:  You are correct.  I should try for orange and blue combinations.  I am sure that Rob would love The University and the Charlottesville countryside.
