During a mid-November trip to Williamsburg, Virginia, I was treated to two days of spectacular weather. Temperatures in the 70s and a clear, blue sky with just a few wispy clouds overhead made Indian summer a reality. As I walked the historic area, admiring the colonial homes and buildings, I looked down to see some apparently confused crocuses. Normally blooming in early spring (often through the snow), these beautiful heralds-of-spring decided to enjoy the nice November weather with me and the myriad of other visitors to Williamsburg. Confused blooms? Perhaps, but a beautiful sight nonetheless.

In addition to sharing these flowers with you, I also invite you to view the two galleries of photographs taken during my visit, "A Walking Tour of Colonial Williamsburg," and "The Signs & Symbols of Colonial Williamsburg." I hope you enjoy them all.
