On Olmsted Island

11/24/09
Named for Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. (son of the pioneering 19th century park planner, who was the designer, inter alia, of New York's Central Park), Olmsted Island in the Potomac River offers a view of Great Falls from the Maryland side from a scenic viewpoint reached by wooden walkways.

The island is the scene of diverse species of flora, and because it is periodically overrun by floods (as during Hurricane Agnes, in 1972), the habitat changes radically over time.

These are just some grasses gone to seed in the sun. But all part of a larger scheme.

Hallo Paul,
Je laat hier weer een schitterende foto zien. Deze grassoort zal ook wel een speciale naam hebben, maar ik weet het even niet.
Nog een fijne dag.

Hallo Paul, Re:
Laat mij dat nou reuze handig vinden dat ik niet iedere keer in het woordenboek moet duiken. Maar versta je dan wel wat ik schrijf, of moet je dat ook op gaan zoeken.
Have a pretty evening.
