Anyone in Oregon Hill lose a guinea pig? Spotted on Belvidere/Byrd by the War Memorial

The RVA Environmental Film Festival has announced that the short film An Oyster’s-Eye View of the Virginia Oyster Shell Recycling Program is the winning entry of the 2018 RVA EFF Virginia Film Contest.
Be sure to make plans to attend this festival in February. Attendance is FREE!
But the bigger picture news is that Chesapeake Bay oysters are making a tentative comeback. They are starting to show signs of resistance to scourges like Dermo and MSX. Sad to say, this good, desperately needed development may be threatened by offshore drilling.

Photo taken yesterday. Although work was done on broken water main this past week before the snow, it is still leaking.
P.S. Rain comes very late Monday into Tuesday

From Hollywood Cemetery’s FaceBook page:
You never know what you’ll see walking through the cemetery. This handsome buck was spotted by one of our visitors a few weeks ago!

Outdoor cat on S. Pine Street


This appeared in Pleasants Park a few days ago.

A few hours ago, a large bee hive in a tree on the 400 block of S. Laurel Street was reported on SeeClick Fix, the City government’s issues site. Hopefully it can be relocated if needed and not destroyed.
