Belmont
/I’ve participated in several programs at the Belmont Manor and Historic Park as a Howard County Conservancy Volunteer over the past month. September is a good month to see maturing seeds - in the trees: Maple
Dogwood
And sweet gum.
There are other plants going to seed: grasses
And fluffy seed pods in the meadows.
The flowers are mostly done for the year although I did photograph a chicory that was growing at the edge of mowed path.
But it is the very air of the place - looking up to into an old sycamore,
The top branches of other trees,
And starlings swirling - that is the most special.
Belmont is a place with a long history and one looks out from the mansion that is somehow not as important as the vista.
