Mt Vernon’s other homes
The Mount Vernon estate has a number of buildings besides the main house. A part of the slave quarters and workshops is shown here.
Mt Vernon wandering
We visited the first President’s estate last week. It is odd that they do not want or allow photographs taken of the insides.
Old man ent
Some people are not going to get my reference here; it is not a bad thing to listen to the trees.
Spring at no name pond
We had a chance to check out the no name pond this past week. There was a light wind and this reduced the drama from the reflection patterns I could capture. It takes persistence and luck to get the desired image sometimes.

Remnants of past civilizations
Our many patrols through the backwoods reveal past histories, as Stephen Jay Gould would say, littered with “curious parts.” While his subject was evolutionary anatomy, I continually find pieces from an extensive farming community hidden away in the forest that has sprouted up since.
