A real field full of history and the deer seems to appreciate its significance too, great set of images!
ReplyDeletesweet little deer to lend a more peaceful, unwarlike feel. :) love those crookety fences!
ReplyDeleteThe soldiers handsome outfits were so wasted on war-this is a nice memorial to them, and the deer adds a gentle touch to the history of the place.
ReplyDeleteoh i know, the uniforms are incredible!
DeleteI have always loved these type of fences. The deer seems to pause for a moment in recognition of the historical side of this piece of land.
ReplyDeleteCalling by from the Signs meme, an interesting post with lots of signs. :)
ReplyDeleteThankfully the deer doesn't know what happened there. I would love to visit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine post for a 4th of July weekend. Lovely photos. That field looks like it hasn't changed much since 1781. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece of history that I would lvoe to visit one day. Virginia is going to be our first stop when the dh retires...so many of his ancestors lived there.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the deer would have changed history. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat Yorktown signage & scenery! Love the doe, also!
ReplyDeleteIt is always so much more interesting to see historical places much as they were instead of a plaque telling you what was there.
ReplyDeleteNice fence and a beautiful field!
ReplyDeleteI love these types of fences. We have some here in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteReal history there!
ReplyDeleteThe deer's just feeling at home.
