You don't often associate neighborhood aesthetics with a housing development.

However the planners of Franklin Farm have left open space and plenty of natural beauty in and around the neighborhood.

Its tree lined streets are inviting and its amenities and close proximity to employment and shopping make it a great place to live.

It should be on your short list of neighborhoods to visit if you are looking for a home in Western Fairfax County.

Take a photo tour of Franklin Farm in her autumn colors below, then come visit in person.

Taken a couple nights ago around 5:30 pm. If you carry your camera with you, this sort of opportunity will present itself. Most of the photos I post are "Just lucky to be passing by at the right time" photos.

I seldom venture out for photo ops. I just take shots as we travel around the area in the course of business. After a while, you will have a portfolio of good seasonal photgraphs to enhance the aesthetics of your blog posts

If you are a fan of farm and country photographs, we are starting to collect our best ones at "Just off the road" Virginia farms and land.

We are trying to be very selective in what we post there...as our daughter says....."they should be frame-able"....that is the goal I'm striving for. Hmmm...maybe I will just let our children pick them...

New photos should appear a couple times per week.

Our plan is to start individual websites for the counties we travel through, trying to capture the best of Northern Virginia's rural heritage.

You can find most of these scenes 60 non-rush hour minutes from the White House lawn.
