Shenandoah Valley

As a photographer of landscape, I am drawn to trees. I feel them co-living beings sharing this land, this Earth, with each of us as we spin around the sun – our source of light and heat and energy. These tree-beings have been living here longer than us and continue to thrive where we let them. You may also have fallen in love with a tree. A redwood in my garden has deep meaning as it was less than 6-feet tall when my mother topped it in the 1940s.

Fields of Gold Activities THINGS TO DO Fields of Gold is a regional agritourism program designed to collectively market and promote the Shenandoah Valley’s agritourism sites and activities. It began in 2010 when local planners, economic development, and tourism officials teamed up with farmers and local agricultural organizations to “plant the seeds” for a regional agritourism program in the Shenandoah Valley.
