Distance: 4.2 Miles
I planned a longer trip into the country, but I got distracted by the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. One-third museum, one-third working farm, one-third preserved estate and gardens it reminded me of Greenwood Gardens in Short Hills. The house, gardens, and farm, Glen Burnie, was owned by a prominent founding family in the area. They were early friends with George Washington and launched his political career in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Passing through generations, the
estate was entrusted to the public in perpetuity.
Some pictures:
Sundial
Celtic Cross
Crabapples trees in bloom. The depth is an optical illusion - the distance between the rows decreases as it runs from the house (and camera).
A formed, living gazebo.
Rock wall with built in steps.
The Asian Garden
I retired to a motel on the far side of Winchester. A shot of the wonderful night sky.
