Western Loudoun approaches peak leave changing season. While the colors are not spectacular this year due to the dry summer, there are spots of brilliant color to be found. The two horses pictured in this pasture get second billing to this brightly colored maple.

Balls Bluff tree and Virginia Creeper

A trip to Balls Bluff civil war park on Friday provided a terrific photographic opportunity for lush green foliage. This park runs adjacent to the Potomac River in Leesburg and features a small national cemetery, filled mostly with unmarked graves. A great battle occurred here 1861 with the Union army attempting to take Leesburg.

Pre and post

This pair have stood for many years. They share similar roots but likely come from different backgrounds. The old and older in rural harmony sharing location and form. Photo taken in "downtown" Round Hill.
