Overworked Stream Channel by Wildside Photography

7

During the Civil War and for many years after, this bottonland was farmed and served as range for cattle. After the expansion of the Washington, DC metro area put pressure on landowners of farmland in eastern VA to sell to developers, property such as this was allowed to recover naturally due to it's value for wildlife refugia, storm water flood attenuation, and suburban recreation space. On this day, I rode my mountain bike through the area at sunset to see what there was to see; a quiet place away from the mega-shopping malls and freeways of northern Virginia where squirrels, deer, owls, fox, an occasional coyote, and of course, racoons and skunks survive amidst an ever growing mass of urban sprawl. With that urban sprawl and it's associated hard surfaces, runoff from rain events is concentrated and forced into areas such as this. The effect is obvious; the degradation of stream channels like this one become unnaturally scoured and gutted raceways for flood waters that rage after modest summer storms.

Sunlight streaming in through the bathroom window, flowing across the foyer into the livingroom.

This occurs only twice per year for 3 days or so, as the sun passes by the small slit between the window and the door.

Have a great weekend everyone. Get out and shoot something. I think I'll try to find some wildflowers about the time the sun rises this morning. : ) We'll see how that goes, it's raining here at the moment. : )
