The second photo of the red house with the yellow plants wowed me and it is a combination I would never try under most circumstances. As someone who does like topiary and pollarding, those trees are the most impressive specimens I've seen as to size. What drama. Thanks again for a wonderful treat!LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-50580500776953953932015-04-25T17:32:14.062-04:002015-04-25T17:32:14.062-04:00Beautiful photos, thanks.

The spring there looks so fresh and new--the hills here are already brown and grey.

Love browsing through the photos... especially those gnarled paper mulberry trees.

You continue to inspire and educate. <br /><br />I agree that Williamsburg is lovely in all seasons. <br /><br />Your photo of the Compton Oak is amazing. I didn't know that variety grew so large and fast. Will put it on my "to find" list. <br /><br />I've had good luck with seedlings from the VA Forestry Dept. I reforested about 3 acres with several hundred seedlings (many varieties) in 2008. Most of those little sticks had grown into shade-making trees by 2013/ 2014. I didn't expect that growth rate, especially with the oaks. <br /><br />Thanks again. Love your work. pam_chesbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436652876070398593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-61897136989872257372015-04-20T10:32:02.600-04:002015-04-20T10:32:02.600-04:00Wonderful photographs.

The Williamsburg's interpreters totally take you back in time.
