Late Fall Flowers at Christ Church Alexandria
October 17th, 2010 Categories: Scenic Sundays
It was a beautiful fall day – crisp, clear and perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the courtyard after church. This late blooming azalea was a welcome companion, as were the Japanese anemones.
Add good friends, glorious music and liturgy, children running across the lawn, leaves beginning to turn – I’m not sure if it was the perfect end to a good week or the perfect beginning to a good week. Either way, it’s working for me . . . .

Classic Old Town Alexandria Architecture
September 19th, 2010 Categories: Scenic Sundays
Although not a historic home, this private residence on St. Asaph in Old Town Alexandria is one of my very favorites.
Always immaculately “groomed”, the proportions, the landscaping and the eye for detail make this a perfect example of classic Old Town Alexandria architecture.

Potato Vine
The 100 block of North Columbus Street in Old Town Alexandria is awash in the color of late summer flowers.
Caladiums
A Riot of Color
Home to private residences, a spa and an antique store, there is a pride of place, a calm, a sense of the what lies behind the closed door.

Scenes from a Shade Garden

Scenes from a shade garden – Our garden, once full of deep dark shade, is readjusting to life without the protective cover of a 60ft. maple tree. So far, so good.
