Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CHIMBO_060305_056.JPG: The bullet on the left has this sign: Bullet with Extractor Marks: This rare minie ball specimen actually struck a Confederate soldier and was removed using a tirefone, a threaded instrument that dug into the bullet allowing it to be pulled from the wound. Another tool for removing bullets consisted of a small set of tongues that gripped the bullet instead of screwing into it.
2. CHIMBO_060305_071.JPG: These devices were used for bloodletting
3. CHIMBO_060305_079.JPG: Vaccinator: Vaccinations seem like a modern medical innovation. Their use for preventing smallpox started in Asia and Africa and came to America during the 18th century. The treatment was so successful that General George Washington ordered that all the troops of the Continental Army be vaccinated. By the mid-19th century, it had become a common medical practice. The vaccinator was used to break the outer layer of the skin in order for the vaccine to be introduced to the patient.
4. CHIMBO_060305_092.JPG: When hurricane Wilma (?) came through here, it caused a significant part of the plateau to fall off. They're trying to fix it now.
5. CHIMBO_060305_137.JPG: The marker on the stone: Powhatan Stone: An old Indian stone removed from and now overlooking "Powhatan Seat", a royal residence of King Powhatan when Captain John Smith and his fellow "adventurers" made the first permanent English settlement in this country at Jamestown, Virginia, 1607. "Powhatan Seat" was the residence from 1726-1865 of the ancestors of Peter H. Mayo by whose daughters this stone was presented to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.

Wikipedia Description: Chimborazo Hospital

Chimborazo Hospital was an American Civil War-era facility built in Richmond, Virginia, to service the needs of the Confederate Army. It functioned between 1862 and 1865, treating over 76,000 injured Confederate soldiers. It achieved a 20 percent mortality rate, and today the site is owned by the National Park Service and is used as the visitor center for the Richmond National Battlefield Park.

2006 photos: Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
