Huntley Meadows Park: In Color

Huntley Meadows Park is a 1,500 acre park in northern Virginia operated by the Fairfax County Parks Authority. It is mostly a wetlands, but also includes hardwood forests and meadows. In colonial times, it was part of a plantation owned by George Mason's family. Mason's grandson, Thomson, built a house overlooking the property in 1823. The house still stands, but is mothballed awaiting funds for restoration. It was a working farm through the early 1900s, then passed through several owners, including the military until 1970, when the Air Force offered it as surplus. President Gerald Ford, who lived in nearby Alexandria, designated it as a county park in 1975. Over 200 species of birds have been sighted in Huntley Meadows. This gallery contains color originals of many of the images in "Huntley Meadows Park: In Black & White" at http://www.pbase.com/steveyaphotos/huntley_meadows_park , as well as other images not contained in that gallery. I will add images to both galleries as I visit and photograph the park through the seasons.

lovely work steve well done

Yes, Dave, such a place is rare in the DC area. The east end of the development in which I live, where my house is located, abutts the park, which means no new development in that direction.

Steve, I found the park with Google Earth: huge place with lots of woods. You're fortunate to be so close to such a nice environment.
