This a pony truss bridge across Seneca Creek, Md at Montevideo Rd. It was built in 1901 (I believe). You seldom see these types of bridges any longer. While I was painting, a fox hunt played out in front of me across the creek. First the fox showed up running his tail off and disappearing in the woods then 25 hunters on horseback arrived a half hour later. They were decked out in red or black jackets and the typical fox hunting garments, plus a pack of hounds with them. I told them they had been out foxed, that the fox was here a half hour ago and was on the run.Saturday, February 26, 2011

Thanks Katelen. I am getting outside painting a whole bunch but I wind up at the bar when I finish painting..haha! I run in the late morning, so I keep the weight off me that way. Otherwise, the beer would probably mount up after awhile.
