So it took me a while to get these up… but I’m finally posting them.
They’re pictures from the James River Clean-up on Saturday June 14. Since I took my camera, I ended up taking more pictures than cleaning. I think the time was well worth it.
I would guess about 40 to 50 people attended the event. For some reason, I thought much more than that would help out. Interesting.

A small waterfall in the area we were cleaning. What I did is sped up the shutter and got as close as possible. This is the result.

People Cleaning. I didn’t get any names, so most of the pictures here will be either of the back of people’s heads or faces that are really far away.

People of all ages came to clean.

Someone brought a canoe so they could clean stuff right out of the river.

The scenery was just beautiful.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures. We walked a long way down and hit a highway bridge.

Everyone kept on walking to find more garbage to clean. These two girls stayed behind and played hand games. I stayed behind to take pictures of them.


All the garbage collected.

Old Bikes and tires are a usual find. Strange finds may include strollers, refrigeraters, vaccums, engines… stuff like that.


Beautiful pictures. Thank goodness a few people care enough to clean up one of nature’s most beautiful rivers. I grew up near the James River in the Tidewater area. I have always loved the James. Thanks for the pictures. The waterfall shot is beautiful.
