Five children ranging in age from 3.10 to 5.2 years were invited to learn about the artist Georgia O'Keefe. All the children were very excited about using the oil pastels and commented how bright the colors are and how they matched the colors O'Keefe used.

'C' Mill was built in 1847 by the Morris family and produced flannel and cloth which was sent to markets across Wales and Great Britain. The mill was also a significant local employer and later became the first supplier of power to the local village, which was the first in in the county to have electricity. The parish council paid £10.00 per annum for street lighting and houses were charged 5 shillings for one 60W lamp which then cost a further seven shillings and sixpence for 3 months electricity supply. Mr Morris turned off the power at 10.30pm each night believing that that was quite late enough for anyone to be awake. During the Second World War demand for flannel products fell and despite diversification into new products and the opening of a shop on the first floor, the mill went into decline, finally closing in 1962. Unfortunately, attempts to donate the property to the National Trust for preservation were unsuccessful as the owner was unable to provide a share of the funding and the mill was abandoned
Today it looks like very little has changed since the day the last shift finished and the machines fell silent almost sixty years ago. Protected by obscurity and relative isolation, it has become fossilised, frozen in time: bobbins are still wound with wool and the last cloth woven is still lying on the shuttle loom. Baskets of unspun wool stand waiting on the upper floor and books and papers lie scattered about, all covered in a thick layer of dust, deadening sound: a world away from the deafening clatter of a working mill.

The George Washington Birthplace National Monument Historic District is significant at the national level under Criteria A, B, C, and D. It derives its primary significance at the national level under Criterion B as the site where George Washington, a transcendent figure in American history, was born and lived between 1732 and 1735. Under Criterion A, the district is nationally significant in the area of Conservation as the site of several seminal events in the history of historic preservation in the United States. The district also is nationally significant under Criterion A in the area of Archeology- Historic/Non-Aboriginal. Investigations undertaken by National Park Service archeologists in the 1930s and early 1940s firmly established the important role that the nascent field of historical archeology subsequently played in the interpretation of National Parks. The investigations were also key events in the transition of the field from its antiquarian origins in the late nineteenth century to its theoretical and academic maturation in the latter half of the twentieth century. The district also has national significance under Criterion C in the area of Landscape Architecture. Combining the planning principles developed for the western wilderness parks with prevailing interpretive concepts, the National Park Service, with the Wakefield Association, created a historic designed landscape incorporating the setting and surviving features of Popes Creek Plantation within an overlay memorializing Washington's association with the birthplace and providing visitor access. Charles E. Peterson (1906-2004), one of the National Park Service's most important and prolific early landscape architects, contributed many characteristic aspects of the landscape design.
Before any conservation treatment took place, the team carried out extensive documentation of the Jefferson Bible. This included microscopic analysis, photographic documentation, written documentation, and historical research. The team uncovered as much information as possible about the way Jefferson created the volume, as well as how the bookbinder took Jefferson's loose pieces of paper and constructed them into a book.
I've been watching these European Hornets the last few weeks as they bang into every other insect on the flowers (or so it seems). Today this hornet actually captured this American Copper butterfly and carried it up higher to a nearby tree limb. A few seconds later I saw what I thought was the butterfly come floating passed me, I thought it got away, but it turned out to be just one butterfly wing floating on the breeze. You can't see much in this shot, but I post it to remember the first time I've seen the hornet capture it's prey.
This little girl had taken the longest to perfect her color green she also sat the longest at the table to paint. She started with painting herself and then painted her entire family around her. She paid a lot of attention to detail in both the process of making her color and also painting with it.

With the full ravages of winter still in full effect me, Wil and Ray decided to go check out the old paper factory in Burwell that we had only recently herd about. Once the mission of getting into the place was complete we all set off in our own directions covering the whole building snapping away as we did. The last shot and find of the exploration was this document of orders that was just lying on the now glass covered floor, a nice reminder of the human story and the use the building once had of which is in stark contrast to how it stands today. Captured with my Nikkor 50mm

This is the work of a boy age 4.10 who chose Georgia O'Keefe's "Sunflower" painting as his inspiration. When he brought me his finished drawing he proudly held it up and declared, "I'm going to be an artist too!"
