Hart Square Village

Our Catawba Valley Camera Club went on a private excursion to Hart Square Village last month, and we will post images captured there in the coming weeks.

Hart Square (located in Vale, North Carolina) is the nation’s most extensive collection of historic log cabins. Dr. Bob Hart, with the help of friends and volunteers, envisioned rescuing these pioneer structures and moving them to Hart Square to be preserved and enjoyed by the public. The square has 103 structures and is laid out well with an informative map and well-marked signs.

Bunch of Sunflowers

Apart from a single sunflower, a bunch of these makes the image more striking. A group of flowers is called a “bouquet”. However, botanically speaking, it is called an “inflorescence”. An inflorescence is a collection or aggregation of flowers on an individual plant. Inflorescences often function to enhance reproduction.

Winterthur in Delaware

More than fifty years ago, Delaware native Henry Francis du Pont began welcoming visitors to his childhood home, Winterthur, to see its magnificent gardens and view his amazing collection of decorative arts and architecture. Visitors to Winterthur Museum and Gardens experience a 175 room mansion and will be amazed by the nature and extent of its holdings.
