POTD: Whorl
I love old stumps, especially large, weathered ones. You know, like this one.
POTD: Stately
The Glenview Mansion has a gorgeous entrance, made more so by the plantings around it.
POTD: Look Out For That Tree
As you might have guessed, I spent some time this weekend at Glenview Mansion in Civic Center Park. It is one of my favorite spots in Rockville. I happen to love this tree on the front lawn of the mansion.
POTD: Desert
This looks like the kind of scene I remember from when I lived in Southern California, where the landscape is all dry and hot. But it’s just on the grounds of Civic Center Park!
POTD: Trinity
I was at Carmen’s the other day and saw these lonely chairs, and the scene just struck me a certain way.
POTD: Vanishing Point
I am such a sucker for highly foreshortened images that emphasize a scene’s vanishing point. I mean, it’s like catnip to me.
POTD: Here’s Looking At You
This is a massive sunflower that was actually higher than my friends’ gutter. It looks like it is looking down on us!
POTD: I Heart Lamp
I just thought this was a cool little faux lamp, especially with the weathered paint.
POTD: Fairy Ring
This photo of the day is by Brenda Dunham. Of it, she says, “I think that is quite a big fairy ring. Proof that we’ve been getting a lot of rain lately.”
In case you did not know, (I didn’t), this is what a fairy ring is.
POTD: Se7en
I have a bit of a fascination with jails and prisons. The culture, lore, legends, and architecture interest me. I have always been particularly fascinated with Seven Locks, not only because of its incredible name but also the round room-with-a-view architecture. Seems a little cruel to include the constant reminder of freedom in the form of passing cars, but perhaps some inmates find it soothing. To take this, I actually stopped on I-270. I imagine passers-by thought I looked none too reputable.
POTD: The Calm Before The Fair
This one’s by Rockville Central editor Cindy Cotte Griffiths. She took it as she was helping set up for the Montgomery County Fair (which just has a few days left). I like the morning rainy-dreary feel.
POTD: Going Down
This image is from the construction across the street from Federal Plaza along Rockville Pike. I liked the thumbs-down the worker was giving the crane operator. (I know it means “keep lowering,” but I also joked to myself that it might mean the operator was doing a bad job!)
