Our day trip to 'George Washington's' Mount Vernon to visit the house and gardens started off with visits to the upper (mainly flower) and lower (vegetable and fruit) gardens.
At this time of year the very ordered planting of the vegetable garden and neat pruning of the espaliered and border fruit trees is very clear to see.
In the flower garden, Spring bulbs still dominate the beds...
Other flowers are coming into bloom..
We visited the house (no photos are permitted inside) and then took a short boat trip on the Potomac.
Everything was a little grey due to the overcast skies but David managed to take a photo of an osprey nesting at the end of the Mount Vernon jetty..
It was a good visit and provided some unusual photo opportunities for our guests..
As well as some more conventional ones..
