Watching for Atlantic sturgeon this evening. Didn’ Watching for Atlantic sturgeon this evening. Didn’t spot any, but that’s okay. This view of our city at sunset on the paddle back was well worth it.

Back at it tomorrow. September is prime sturgeon-watching season on the James. Get out there.
Labor Day weekend at @lillypadcafe and @kingfishrv Labor Day weekend at @lillypadcafe and @kingfishrva. 

Located at Kingsland Marina on the James River, the Lilly Pad has served Richmond boaters, and those wanting a taste of life on the water, since 1958.

The family-owned and operated marina offers boat rentals, including 22’ Godfrey pontoons, along with stand up paddleboards and kayaks. After exploring the James for a bit (on this trip, we headed to the Gravel Pit for a dip), head back to the Lilly Pad, where you’ll find a waterfront restaurant, bar and entertainment venue with salsa nights, reggae nights, island party DJs, live music and more.

And just down the river, their sister marina, Richmond Yacht Basin, offers additional marina services.

Fresh paint in Shockoe Bottom. Richmond artist Ron Fresh paint in Shockoe Bottom. Richmond artist Ron Stokes (@viewsbystokes) recently completed this new mural at the 17th Street Market.

A self-taught artist, Ron merges street and abstract art to create a unique style of storytelling through color and pattern. He says his work is shaped by emotion and what inspires him in the moment, bringing to life stories of culture, history and the world around him. Ron has called the River City home for the past decade. 

📍 17th Street Market, 100 N. 17th St.
We stopped by @richmondspca recently to meet some We stopped by @richmondspca recently to meet some of the dogs and cats currently waiting for adoption and got a reminder of just how much happens behind those kennel doors.

Last year, Richmond SPCA completed nearly 4,000 adoptions, while also providing foster care, veterinary services, behavioral support and resources that help keep pets and their people together.

If you’ve been thinking about adding someone new to your fam, there are plenty of faces currently waiting to meet you. And adoption isn’t the only way to help, there’s also fostering, volunteering, and supporting the organization financially.
