Freezing Saddles 2021 – Daily Photo Scavenger Hunt

1/10/21 Nut

Fairfax County has 427 parks, but I couldn’t find a complete list so I couldn’t zero in on one that featured the name “nut”.

Next I looked at all the parks within a 15 mile circle around my home — there are many, but not ONE has the word “nut” in its name.

My riding partner found a brewery to visit that had a nut in its logo, so we rode down there. But she gets that photo.

So … here’s what I saw along the way. This is where Tapawingo crosses Nutley in Vienna, heading to the fantastic connector trail between Vienna and City of Fairfax.

Given my history, tomorrow I’ll see nothing BUT nuts!

LOL! I stopped at a few stores and peered in the windows to see if I could find nuts on display, but nary a nut was found by that method.

In my research, George Washington Carver may have been born on January 10 (or January 1), 1864, but other sources say he may have been sometime in June also. He’s probably most well known for his work with peanuts, but I thought it would be tough to find “peanut”, so I’m shortening it to “nut”. Happy Hunting!

Nice shop with nice people. Go buy something from them!

There were quite a few nuts attaching this power pole alongside the W&OD @ Gallows Rd. to its foundation.

Today’s photo is of beechnuts, from the beech tree (remember Beech-nut Fruit Stripe gum?). The beech tree – Fagus Grandifolia – is one of the few trees that are easy to identify in the wintertime. The first thing one notices is the very smooth bark, that people love to carve their initials in. The beech tree, also like the oak tree, is one of the few deciduous trees to retain their leaves throughout the winter, waiting for the new spring’s growth to push them off. And finally, beech twigs have these sharp little points of new growth. These three things (smooth bark, winter leaves, and new growth on twigs) make it easy to ID in the winter. For your educational enjoyment, I have included photos of these as well. You’re welcome!

Squirrels have had their hay day already with all the walnuts in the neighborhood (and our yard). So I decided to settle on a local Chestnut St., similarly devoid of any chestnuts just laying on the ground.

1/10/21 Nuts. Here is a picture of my biking buddies, each holding a pistachio. So here we have a collection of nuts, but which is it: The pistachios? Or the Biking buddies?

1/10 – The Nut

While looking for the nut we passed a dog part, looked for a nut dog, looked for Walnut Street, and even found some sad small acorns on the side of the road, but in the end, the chubby squirrel brewing came through with this cute squirrel & acorn. The place is small so the bike is on the curb waiting for the order of plain pirogies. No beer ‘cause this was halfway point.
