A picture a day of the town of Lexington, Virginia
Beautiful Lexington, Virginia:
A town of 7,000 in the Shenandoah Valley -- home to Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute; resting place of Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson; and at the center of one of the prettiest counties in Virginia: Rockbridge County.

Happy to see that the (Nordic) trolls have come that far! They are quite nice!
That is adorable! What a cute find!
This is just lovely!
Oh, it's so sweet :)
Your photos and postings are a joy - Lexington seems so homely!
I'm heading for an exam in January and could certainly use some assistance from a knowledgeable troll!
How cute. You need my
--mushrooms-- growing around it.
Your blog made my day - I grew up in Lexington and miss everything about it. I'm coming home for Christmas and I'm going to walk my dogs on the woods creek trail looking for this little door. My advice to you as a fellow photographer... don't ever leave!!!!!!! Lexington is amazing. And you are managing to have pretty great pics without a particularly fancy camera, so more power to you.
Whoever put that door there is brilliant (I mean, whoever helped the little trolls, of course). :) Very cool find!
Peter - yes, the trolls have made it this far. Not only are they nice, but like you they speak and write in perfect English!
Bangkok Nik - Thanks for your visit! Lexington is really as it looks here.
Per - You could try our troll, I suppose, but so far he has only answered the questions of people under five. Good luck on your exam!
Griffin - I'm so glad you found your way here. Let me know if you find the door. (I can always give you another hint, but it would be more fun without it.) Come back anytime for another glimpse of Lexington.
Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. There has been a lot more activity on this blog than usual today, and I was thinking that this little photo was inexplicably attracting a lot of attention.
But I have since learned that the Washington & Lee Univ. blog featured my blog today. So welcome, everyone visiting from W&L! Tomorrow, a photo just for you.
Ah, the troll might in fact be opening a support channel for universities as well then! :)
Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Those of you with more experience of trolls are wiser in their ways!
This made me smile in ways you can't imagine. I'm a 2007 W&L grad who knows precisely where this little door is and the notes to be found in it after stumbling across it on a run down the trail one day.
Great find!!
