Fall - Patuxent North Tract

Went wandering a little bit at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, North Tract today while the weather still holds. I was hoping to check out some of the 10 or so old cemeteries on the grounds (good on-line book - HERE ) but apparently today is some kind of kids hunting day, so most of the area was closed to hikers. I assume it helps keep kids from mistaking people like me for deer or duck. So anyway, my theme for the day became "Red, the color of fall". Enjoy.

Castlerigg Stone Circle

From back in May, a visit to the Lake District in England. The setting for Castlerigg Stone Circle is on a hill top over looking the valleys below and the mountains in the background, just awesome first thing in the morning.

London Eye

It was a bit of a rainy, cloudy day, but we went into London anyway. We're running out of time to be to picky about weather and we wanted to visit Westminster Abby before the spring crowds arrive. This meant we also missed crowds for the London Eye and Churchill's War Room. Here are some photos of "the eye".
