Walking down Riverside Drive (February 28, 2016)

Rains of the past few weeks have made my yard a bog,,,and could not take the motorcycle out for a ride. I did get it out a few days later and that can be found on my latest post of my "Racing with the Wind" blog. On that Tuesday I rode down further on this very road....Riverside Drive.
I love the mix of houses on this road, in fact could easily make the point that they are mansions. Love the many beautiful modern designs such as the house at left seen here. It is a nice rode to ride or to walk; especially on an almost 70 degree day.
I had a great time exploring this favorite road on foot.
  

Below is the James River and way off in the background at upper right is Richmond. Though winter still a beautiful view and this is what everyone pays for living here.
Good time to actually see the river, as soon the trees will bloom and the green canopy will cover much of this. It is also beautiful in the fall and even (as I take this) in the Winter.
There were a good number of people walking, jogging, driving and yes...riding motorcycles. Yet it never seems overly crowded, and there is a lot to see there. One of my favorite sights in the ACL (or as it is now the CCX) bridge. Built around 1900 it is quite a sight.      

Of course many of the houses have an older design such as this one, which is also really impressive to look at. It was a nice stroll and had a great time getting out.
Looking forward to the end of winter, it is that time of year when you have a few cool, if not cold, days followed by warmer days.
This was a Sunday and since this walk we have had a mixture of both with even a chance of snow on Thursday and Friday (though not much is expected and it is not expected to last though the day if it does happen). Looking forward to getting out and seeing some more sights in this city and some of the upcoming events.
