(All photos by Skip Hawkes/Skip Hawkes Photography)

On the final Saturday of September, I photographed the Glenburn Recreation fall sports teams, which consisted of one field hockey team and 11 soccer teams from Pre-K through 4-5-6 grade.

Of course, my favorites where the Pre-K kids and the 1st graders. A special thanks to Angel Nickerson for her help getting the Pre-K kids ready for their photographs.

Here are a few photos from some of the other teams:

University of Virginia Football Complex

This week I went to see the University of Virginia football complex. David A. Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium seats 61,500, and is most often filled to capacity. It was constructed in 1931, and is the oldest Division 1 stadium in Virginia.

The stadium was closed, so I was only able to grab a few photos from the gate area but you can get an idea of the size, etc of the stadium from the photos.

Today (Sunday, July 27) my son-in-law Steve took me to the printing plant where he works in Charlottesville. The plant is owned by Cenveo, Inc, the third largest graphics communication company in North America. They operate in the US, India, Asia, and the Caribbean Rim, and employ approximately 10,000 people world wide.


Here are some additional photos of Steve's press:





These are photos of the newest printing press recently installed at the plant:

A trip to the winery!

While vacationing in Virginia this week, my youngest daughter Leaha and her husband Steve and I headed from their home in Charlottesville to Gordonsville to visit my oldest daughter Staci. We headed down the Seminole Trail (Rt. 29). Here are a few photos along the way:






Along the way I shot just a couple photos. The first one is of a cool looking water tower, and the second one is just a nice looking house that I have always liked since my first trip here.




Coming into Gordonsville, the kids took me into Horton Winery. A wine vineyard that has a gift shop, offers wine tasting, and gives tours of the winery. We didn't get to go on a tour because it was early in the day and things were slow. Here are some photos of the vineyard:





Inside the store, you can see the tasting area's as well as the many gift items and hundreds of bottles of wine available for sale.

This is a table where much of the wine tasting will take place later in the day.
