These are pictures, a little old, from November of last year, taken at Dumbarton Oaks. Dumbarton Oaks is an estate in Georgetown, Washington, DC that is now owned by Harvard University, and is a museum and study center for Byantine and Pre-Columbian Amerindian arts as well as garden design. The estate all by itself is entrancing too; it has extensive gardens, of both the geometrical and the wild-ranging kinds. To any visitors in Washington, I insist that this deserves a visit at any time of year; Spring is especially beautiful.
Tocqueville, at the bottom of a birdbath. When the past does not illuminate the future the spirit advances in darkness.
Aquarius, from a small patio themed according to the zodiac.
The swimming pool. PSA: if you are a Dumbarton Oaks employee you can swim here.
