Siege Lane is a small country road in costal Virginia that winds through a mixed woods forest with Dear Run golf course on one side, and Newport News Water Works property on the other. The road has been closed to vehicular traffic for 30 years or more, but is maintained by the Water Works. It is a favorite walking, running, and biking route in the area. Several years ago, the Water Works cut a 50-75 foot easement along one side of the the road which diminished the feeling of seclusion from close-in trees, but had the very beneficial effect of letting more sunlight down to the forest floor. This has led to a profusion of wildflowers along the side of the road. This gallery is a sampling of the flowers I have seen over the course of one season.
