I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. OXON_030420_120.JPG: This goat was an interactive kind of guy. The kids were playing with him and he wandered into the men's room. Gently, I escorted him out again. Then it decided to visit the women's room. The little kids (including a little boy) went into the women's room to watch it. I kept saying the goat might do something in the bathroom and they really didn't want it in there but none of the kids could get it out and I wasn't going to wander into the women's room for it. Then a little girl went in there and came out almost in tears saying that there was a goat in the bathroom and she had to go. Finally, another girl went in and retrieved the goat without incident.
2. OXON_030420_161.JPG: The goat was after that gushy little cupcake. The kid was screaming in joy, not fear.
3. OXON_031013_038.JPG: The cows were supposed to be milked today for people to watch but the ranger explained that one of them was in heat and that was exciting the others too much to allow them to be safely milked.
4. OXON_031013_040.JPG: The cat, "Bouncer," was reasonably friendly given that he had probably been terrorized by hundreds of kids. His ears were cut in various places and you could feel the scars when you scratched his head.
5. OXON_031013_077.JPG: Mount Welby
6. OXON_031013_098.JPG: From a sign: The Potomac Highway Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Potomac River was a highway. Roads were bumpy, narrow, winding routes, littered with stumps and fallen trees. They led from tobacco barns and small villages down to the real thoroughfare--the Potomac. When people and goods had to travel, they took to the water. Many of the first roads on dry land were called "rolling roads." Farmers, slaves, or teams of oxen used them to roll huge barrels of tobacco, called hogsheads, down the water's edge. There the tobacco was loaded on ships, often for the long journey to England. People used the Potomac River for local travel, too. More than sixty ferries connected points in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC along the Potomac by the mid-1800's. At the mouth of Oxon Creek, a ferry to the King Street wharf in Alexandria, Virginia started in 1740 and ran for nearly 200 years.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
