Deer on Historic Jamestown Island, Williamsburg, Virginia

This deer calmly stood in the bullrush on Jamestown Island while the tourists wandered by and we took her photo. This is the site of Historic Jamestown, where the Virginia Company established the first permanent English settlement in North America in 1607. The island is mostly wooded except for the area necessary for the historic display and ongoing archaeological dig. It is home to many animals such as muskrat, turtles, squirrels, and deer who seem to enjoy life on the James River.

Chia Dog at Aroma's, Williamsburg, Virginia

This "chia" dog is leashed outside of Aroma's Cafe and Bake Shop in Williamsburg, Virginia. He's a very good dog and didn't even bark when we took his photo.

Colonial Williamsburg Oxen, Williamsburg, Virginia

Colonial Williamsburg keeps Milking Shorthorn and Randall Oxen to handle heavy tasks in the historic district as they would have in colonial times.  The oxen deliver firewood, barrels and other heavy items throughout the area. And, they pose for lots of tourist photos.

Geese at Jamestown Island, Williamsburg, Virginia

Historic Jamestowne Island provides a nice place for geese to rest along the banks of the James River under the pines and magnolia trees. One was kind enough to pose for us.

Williamsburg Farmers Market at Merchants Square, Williamsburg, Virginia

Williamsburg Farmers' Market had its first Winter Market Saturday amidst the cold and snow flurries. This is an awesome market which won #1 in the nation in the Farmland Trust Contest mid-size market category. The setting of this market is amazing, the College of William and Mary is at one end, the market is set in Merchants Square which offers some of the most unique shopping in the country and begins the mile long stretch of Duke of Gloucester Street (aka "D.O.G." street"), the main street of one of the largest living history museums in the world; Colonial Williamsburg. Everyone love attending, including the doggies who then walk D.O.G. street : ).  We think it is a very special market that we attend regularly along with other area markets that we will post about often.  If you are in the area, the next Williamsburg market day is March 13 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
