The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

The hills to the right of Mariepskop are known as Rodille, or "the bundles", because they resemble a file of women carrying bundles on their heads. The striking Three Rondavels are named after three of Maripi's wives. From lowest to highest, they are Magabolle, Mogoladikwe and Maseroto.
I noticed this lamp today in my comings and goings and was blown away by its detail. Now I am by no stretch of the imagination an art connoisseur but I know what I like and I like this. At the end of the day I had taken over 30 photos but since I could only select one as my photo of the day I think I chose well.. I present my interpretation of the 'Tiffany Peacock Lamp' and my day thirty three photo

The members of Three Days Grace began bashing punk chords when they were in their teens, carving an energetic sound that fueled their live performances. Three Days Grace was formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada, in 1997 by Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Brad Walst (bass), and Neil Sanderson (drums).

Three leaves, with three small sub-leaves, with three large leaves : Trillium a spring time flower in the PNW.
Paper, pen, ink. This week's theme is threes. I have this weird affinity for stationery. I really enjoy writing with quality pens, inks, and paper. I currently use a TWSBI Mini inked with Diamine Twilight. The combination works great for everyday writing for school and such. I decided that I would not do a set of three photographs, but rather a photograph with a set of three in it. The photograph shows the three main items of stationery that I mainly use. (Yes, I know the pen is out of focus, but I am quite frankly too busy with school and too lazy to redo the shot).

Visited a small wildlife park in Benoni, near where I am staying in South Africa. It is actually a bunny park, but there are lots of other wildlife wandering around. These three little ducklings were rather cute.
