11 - Gambrill 2 11 - Gambrill 1 At least once a month I like to walk Gambrill Mill, part of the Monocacy Battlefield.  There is a great circular trail that's part boardwalk, along with architecture, beautiful white sycamores, streams, a pond, and the Monocacy River.  Wildlife that I saw today included a cat, a fat groundhog, squirrels, a hawk, and a number of small birds.

11 - Gambrill 3 11 - Gambrill 4 There is a wonderful Italianate-style mansion, but if you don't know to look for it, it's easy to miss.  Often times there is a truck or car parked in front of it, so today I was lucky that there was neither.  The house is now used as a preservation training center by the National Park Service.

As I was walking the loop, a long freight train came by (sorry, I was not in a good place to see it), and at least seven large jets flew over.  The one I photographed said Qatar, a fast-growing Arab airlines.  Gambrill Mill must be in the BWI flyways.

11 - Gambrill 5 11 - Gambrill 6 I'll be back again when it's snowy, and certainly when it's icy.  I always find plenty to photograph here.
