Located in Monterey, Virginia, the Big Fish Cider Company uses locally grown apples to produce a variety of ciders. I took this shot while I was in town for the Highland Maple Festival and remember seeing the distinctive fish sign at the top of the building when I last visited Monterey in 2015, but I believe that was before the business had opened. The cidery's Facebook page indicates that it opened that year.

Gotta love a shiny bar. Heroes Brewing, of course, for the @deviantArt WeeklyFotoChallenge of 'bar'.
Fifty years ago today, I soloed an Army TH-55 helicopter at Fort Wolters, Texas. In honor of the occasion I decided to take my flight school mug along to the various watering holes I frequent for a photo series.
The ones we flew were bright orange. They were affectionately(?) referred to as LOBs, Little Orange Bastard. Half a dozen of them bobbing up and down as they waited in line for takeoff clearance was quite the sight to see.

PERHAPS YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT WE CAN DRINK BEER EATING CAKE AND FRUITS TOO....
SO....
PLEASE, READ THE FOLLOWING:
Lambic is a very distinctive type of beer brewed traditionally in the Pajottenland region of Belgium (southwest of Brussels) and in Brussels itself at the Cantillon Brewery and museum. Lambic is now mainly consumed after refermentation, resulting in derived beers such as Gueuze or Kriek.
Unlike conventional ales and lagers, which are fermented by carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, lambic beer is produced by spontaneous fermentation: it is exposed to the wild yeasts and bacteria that are said to be native to the Senne valley, in which Brussels lies. It is this unusual process which gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, usually with a sour aftertaste.

THE CAKE IS MADE BY ME
Nelson County VA
Nelson County is a county located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 15,020.[1] Its county seat is Lovingston.[2]
Nelson County is part of the Charlottesville, VA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Nelson County is home to Wintergreen Resort, a local ski area; Swannanoa mansion and is the location of Walton's Mountain made famous by the television show, The Waltons. Nelson County is also home to ten wineries, five craft breweries, two cideries, two distilleries, many fruit orchards and Crabtree Falls.
History
At the time the English began settling Virginia in the 1600s, the inhabitants of what is now Nelson County were a Siouan-speaking tribe called the Nahyssan. They were probably connected to the Manahoac.[3]
Nelson County was created in 1807 from Amherst County. The government was formed the following year.[4] The county is named for Thomas Nelson, Jr., a signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, who served as Governor of Virginia in 1781. An earlier Virginia county, also named in his honor, became part of Kentucky when it separated from Virginia in 1792.
Hurricane Camille
On the night of August 19–20, 1969, Nelson County was struck by disastrous flooding caused by Hurricane Camille. The hurricane hit the Gulf Coast two days earlier, weakened over land, and stalled on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, dumping a world record quantity of 27 inches (690 mm) of rain, mainly in a three-hour period. Over five hours, it yielded more than 37 inches (940 mm), while the previous day had seen a deluge of 5 inches (130 mm) in half an hour, with the ground already saturated. There were reports of animals drowning in trees and people who had had to cup their hands around their mouth and nose to breathe.[5]
Flash floods and mudslides killed 153 people, 31 from Roseland, Tyro, and Massies Mill alone.[6] Over 133 public bridges were washed out in Nelson County, while some communities were under water.[7] In the tiny community of Davis Creek, 52 people were killed or could not be found; only 3 of 35 homes were left standing after the floodwaters receded.[6] The bodies of some people have never been found; others washed as much as 25 miles (40 km) downstream along the creeks and rivers. The entire county was virtually cut off, with many roads and virtually all bridges, telephone, radio/TV, and electric service interrupted.
The waters of the Tye, Piney, Buffalo, and Rockfish rivers flow into the James River. There was massive flooding elsewhere in Virginia, such as along the Maury River, which destroyed the town of Glasgow in Rockbridge County.
The James River and its tributaries normally drain Nelson County, but in the face of massive flooding from other tributaries such as Hatt Creek (along the James River some 80 miles (130 km) to the east) the James River crested more than 20 feet (6.1 m) above flood stage at Westham, as Nelson County citizens watched portions of houses and other buildings, bodies, and dead livestock flow past. Just a few miles further downstream, the James River crested at the City Locks in Richmond at 28.6 feet (8.7 m) swamping downtown areas and also flooding a substantial portion of South Richmond (formerly the separate city of Manchester.[8]). The Hurricane Camille disaster did over $140 million (in 1969 dollars) in damage across Virginia, however in no other place in Virginia was the storm as devastating and deadly as in Nelson County, where one percent of the population was killed and where many bodies were never recovered.

The back of the Yashica-D came slightly ajar. This what happens when one gets out of practice with a camera and forgets its peculiar.oddities. Arrgh.
Thankfully Blackbird Cider Works did a much finer job with their hard ciders than I did with my photograph.

Gosh, life. Running away from unwanted visitors that refuse to take no for an answer, was quite possibly the best move I (think) for this weekend.
This morning? I chatted with my bestie after sleeping in until 8a. I stopped at a vineyard and tasted wine and cheese and cherry salsas and bought a bottle of wine, all before noon. Then I found a bakery that had GF cookies, went to the grocery store and bought some veggies, and went to a fancy cheese store, where I tried weird cheese (like mushroom brie and espresso rubbed/lavender cheddar) and bought teeny smidgens for dinner tonight. Then I finally found a coffee shop that was open after that, and took the hottest shower I have in days. I turned the fire place on, sat down, and sipped some cider that I found from a cidery that I love, but didn’t even know what was out here.
It was a good day. It was a moseying day. Amidst dating disappointments, days that have both felt like years and minutes at the same time, and restless nights that have been filled with “where am I, again?” moments, this was the type of day that I think I need more of in my life.
Monterey, Virginia. "Little Switzerland"
Maple Festival. Mountain farmed trout. Unspoiled mountain views. Good food. Good people. Love it!

June 26, 1973 plus fifty.
Fifty years ago today, I soloed an Army TH-55 helicopter at Fort Wolters, Texas. In honor of the occasion I decided to take my flight school mug along to the various watering holes I frequent for a photo series. This is at Rootstock Cider and Spirits, a very fine establishment milady and I get to occasionally on a Sunday afternoon.
The Yashica-D has a minimum focal length of about three and a half feet, a bit over a metre. I crank it in to the stops, position the mug, then move the camera until it focuses. Zoom by walking around.I do like shiny bar tops.
