| Rachels Photo Album | ||||||||
| My photo album is intended to share with you some of the interests that I discussed on my personal page. I will attempt to keep this page updated more frequently with newer pictures. The pictures depict my "cottage", my gardening, and a sample of my art and historical collection. Please enjoy a view of those things from which I gather much satisfaction. |

| My stone cottage! It is really very deceiving. When it comes to gardening, I am a "clusterer!" I cluster similar plants together and then find complementary plants to cluster next to them. | My cottage does have a great room and that room has become my art gallery. I have works of Mercad Berber, Charles Vickery, CW Mundy, Andre Renoux, Dali, and some Rembrandt etchings. | |||||||

| My library is my sanctuary and my own personal trip through history. I have many artifacts from the French and Indian War, the American Revolutionary War, and the Napoleonic Wars. The eagle displayed in the picture was one which belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte and was hung over his windows to indicate that he was in residence. | ||||||||
| My favorite antiquity. It is a Siennese guild tryptic from the 14th century depicting the Madonna. The picture does not do it proper justice. | ||||||||

| My cottage sits on a very sloped lot. That enables me to practice working with stone and interesting pieces of wood which I gather in the forest behind me. It also allows me to mix both sun and shade plants to create some very pleasant effects. | ||||||||
