New Church, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: White prompts us to think of the cold. Why use it for a Lovework? Maybe because it's a reminder that the snow season of is now history (and so is our month of LOVE signs). Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Don't think you have to wait three more weeks. Meteorological spring begins at midnight. [2018]

Covington, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: February is month number 2, so here's a 2fer: a shot of the Humpback Bridge in winter and in summer. Look again and spell out the letters. Where is the V? Virginia used to have two covered bridges built in the 1850s. Now, it has only the one pictured here. Yet, both are still standing. How can that be? Here is a hint about the second. [2017]

Cape Charles, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: First things first: Please notice the Chesapeake Bay waterman checking his traps. Then, notice how the letter E reflects what he is doing. Perhaps you could write a fairy tale about the waterman and the crabs. Why? Because it is Tell a Fairy Tale Day! Or you could fall back on Chessie, the Chesapeake Bay monster. [2020]

Newport News, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: Newport News City Center radiates love, and the entire city radiates love for shipbuilding. It was on this date in 1933 that the first purpose-built aircraft carrier, the USS Ranger, was launched from the shipyard. Upstage center also reveals the name of the very first aircraft carrier, USS Langley (now the name of a credit union). [2021]

Tappahannock, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: What famous recording artist comes from Tappahannock? Chris Brown, who released his first collaborative studio album with Tyga on this date in 2015. Two signs guarantee that no matter where you are coming from, you will notice the largest LOVE mural in Virginia. [2019]

Williamsburg, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: O! It's Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. Paws [sic] and enjoy it. Better bone up on disc golf, though. It is something you can play with your dog at Waller Mill Park. [2021]
 

Abingdon, Virginia, USA

Loveworks Connect: It's National Wildlife Day in the Appalachians and around the country. These carnivores are part of LOVE and the "fairy fountain" in Abingdon, but what exactly are they: wolves, coyotes, coywolves? The coywolf, a hybrid that also includes domestic dog, has not been recognized as a species of its own but, as its range expands, stay tuned. [2019]
