Tulips

This weekend we're back to cold, wet, and windy conditions. So it's refreshing to recall these scenes from earlier in the week.

Plowing

Stopped to talk to these two fellows as they were preparing the soil for spring planting, 18th-century-style, in one of Colonial Williamsburg's gardens. It's a large garden next to the recently relocated windmill and will eventually raise crops that were known to be grown in this area during the 18th century, crops like corn, barley, cotton, and tobacco.

Rectangular Steps

 

Again, part of a study, which maybe partly explains these weird photographs of steps! :-)

Round Steps

 

I took these photos as part of an informal study of approaches various people have taken with steps.

I have to say that I find these rounded steps particularly attractive and inviting. What do you think?
