  Acid RainAcid precipitation, also known as acid rain, is any form of precipitation—snow, rain, sleet, or hail—that contains a heavy concentration of sulfuric and nitric acids. Automobiles, certain industrial operations, and electric power plants that burn fossil fuels emit pollutants that combine with atmospheric moisture to create these acids.

 The American Civil War Ends at Appomattox Court House (1865)The first major engagement of the US Civil War was the First Battle of Bull Run, fought in 1861 partly on the farm of Wilmer McLean in Manassas, Virginia.

What a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteWe've had strange weather here all August and September too... overcast August and then ZOOM we were in the middle of fall already.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out what it is... Sunflowers?
ReplyDeleteYes, bizarre that the leaves are so large and developed, yet the sunflower itself isn't going anywhere. Welcome to Seattle, where, truly, the weather is WEIRD.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteWhen have they bloomed in the past?
Are they sunflowers?
They are looking to the south... that's where the sun and warmth are. :-)
ReplyDeleteque es eso?
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope that next week is the bloom!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. But what is it?
ReplyDeleteSunflowers...I never would have guessed!
ReplyDeleteSunflowers it is!!!! Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteAs to when they have bloomed in the past....no idea.....but you would think before September. We moved here in cold and rainy October so this whole weather microclimate Seattle has going on is very new to us. *cross my fingers* I hope next week will be the bloom!

Happy WW to all!
Well, down south of you here in the Portland area, we've got summer weather back for a bit. Maybe it'll help you out? Cool pictures though!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wordless Wednesday!
