Calling all Culpeper Squirrels

Ok Guys - Here is the plan. Collect all of 

round brown things with a hard shell. 

Bring them to me and I will put 

them in a safe place. 

Ok let's go!!

Golden Ears of Corn

Close up of this corn field revealed a golden 

treat. Ears of corn ready for harvest. 

The sunshine brings out 

the contrast of natures

perfection

Culpeper Sports Complex

The soccer fields are among the best in the region. 

Most visiting teams from Northern Virginia, 

Fredericksburg, and Charlottesville 

comment on the quality of the fields

and the mountain views. 

A perfect place for 

tournaments... 

Ears of Corn, Eyes of Glory - The Fall Culpeper Story

The Morning Glories peaked out from the 

ears of corn like the eyes of a fictional

field character. The stalks squeaked

together and the crickets chirped 

to bring the field alive on the

 last day of summer - looking

forward to Fall....

Culpeper Food Closet @ St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

Consider making this a regular stop. As Fall arrives

and Winter approaches, the need increases. If you

are in downtown Culpeper, donating is easy and 

convenient. The Food Closet is in the rear of the 

Historic St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. 

Foreshadowing Fall - Autumn Colors in September

Perfect landing near Culpeper Airport. 

A good attempt to use the grass as camo.

Unfortunately the grass is still green in 

September.  I love the pattern symmetry

of the wings in contrast with 

the random layers of grass

drenched in sunshine.

Hawk Eye Culpeper Virginia

Driving along a roadway in Culpeper Virginia, 

I spotted this Hawk watching the cars go by.

 I stopped rolled the window down and took

several pics. The eye of the hawk and the detail 

of the head feathers remind me of an eagle. 

Summer Harvest for Culpeper Monarch

Walking in one of the many open fields

 in Culpeper County. This Monarch 

butterfly moved from clover 

to clover. She was not 

looking for the 4 leaf

 clover. Her summer 

harvest 

was in full bloom. 

I tried to sneak up behind 

her to catch a full wing spread. 

This was the best that she would 

allow. Probably showing her best side :-) 

Graffiti House - Brandy Station - Jeb Stuart Signature?

The image is a photo of one of the Civil War Period

signatures found on the wall of the Graffeti House. 

There are confirmed signatures from many soldiers with 

accompanying stories about them at the house in Culpeper 

County Virginia. The card at the bottom shows an authentic 

replica of a Jeb Stuart signature. Is the one on the wall from the 

General James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart while he was preparing for the 

Battle of Brandy Station, the largest calvary battle of the Civil War?

Visit and judge for yourself. 

Brandy Station Battlefield

Brandy Station Battlefield - Location of the Largest

Calvary Battles of the Civil War. Accessible to the 

General Public near the Culpeper County Airport. 

Chess Board @ Vineyard in Culpeper County

This Super Sized Chess Board is located at 

Old House Vineyards just off of Route 3 in

the Stevensburg District of Culpeper County

Old House is a favorite venue for weddings, 

social gatherings, and entertainment. The Old 

House Vineyard selection of wines make this 

a worthwhile trip. The scenic views are soothing.... 

Empire Apples @ Jenkins Orchard Woodville Virginia

How many types of apples are grown at Jenkins Orchard?

The very best way to find out is to begin your search from 

Culpeper Virginia and take the hypnotically beautiful drive 

along Route 522. As you travel down tree covered two lane roads 

in the Fall, the sighs of freedom from busy Northern Virginia 

allow your mind to soak in the colors of the mountains. Traveling thru 

the charming town of Woodville Virginia and just before Sperryville

Virginia the sign for Jenkins Orchard indicates a left turn. 

Three miles to the Orchard will feel like a trip over the river 

and thru the woods...
