Fine Sunday

Yesterday was a fine day for a stroll up the side of the ridge. Luckily, travels this day featured pastures and fields of barley ascending high into the distance. As the evening sun lowered on the horizon, this barley field lit up with stripes glowing colors. In the distance a donkey's bray and wild turkeys could be heard celebrating the close of another beautiful day in western Loudoun County.

Grain trailers

Locals will recogize these grain trailers from thier grassy parking place along Rt. 7 and the WO&D bike trail. This active farm explodes with green every spring as they add nitrogen to the soil in preparation of planting. Right now, the adjacent field is a blanket of yellow from the small field flowers in bloom.

Update Jan 2011 - The new power line runs through this spot today.
