Tuckahoe.

Chickens roaming free to peck about in the grass and undergrowth, cattle lowing in the pastures beyond the creek, fresh horse tracks in the dirt along the path & a playful sheep dog bounding around through the mud puddles-- Tuckahoe Plantation is chock full of all the familiar sounds and smells of a working farm.

While known for being the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson from 1745-1752, this beautiful plantation is still kept in full working order by the family that currently owns and maintains its grounds. And aside from being kept open year-round for the public's enjoyment, this beautiful plantation also happens to be only a mile down the road from my parent's house-- which also means it was the perfect place for me to spend some time yesterday with my camera.

There's truly nothing like getting outdoors on a warm, beautiful day and seeing the world through a lens for a bit. Love.
