First Visit to a State Park

So, I have been continuing my efforts to explore my new surroundings.  I hade the chance to visit the Havenwoods State Forrest.  I was able to take part in their annual clean up and learn a little bit about invasive plants.

 Most of the Spring plants had yet to bloom, what I found were the remnants of last years plants gone to seed.  But I did manager to find some wild daffodils blooming in the woods.

I look forward to going back soon and seeing what new things are in bloom with the improvement of our weather .

AHS Images

These images are from a project I did for the Arlington Historical Society.  I am posting them as I do not have prints, and I was looking for detail examples.  The project came about when the Curator, Linda G. mentioned the vast collection of items that only had accession cards and no descriptions.  I offered to photograph them to help update the records.  Of the thousands of items I shot that summer here are just a few.

In the collection of apothocary bottles were a vial of opium and other tinctures of questionable medical benefit.

 The camera was found with film inside and it was decided not to process the film.  I would be very curious what if anything is on there.  Of course knowing that it has been opened several times I doubt the film would be intact.
