You can just barely see the roof of Biltmore House above this field of corn in one of the large fields along the French Broad River. Raccoons and deer apparently are feeding on this corn now once people aren't around after the Estate closes for the day.

The Bass Pond is one of Olmstead's great successes on the estate. I find it particularly beautiful and serene in the gall when the individual species of trees and shrubs start to turn so many different colors. You really get a sense of depth.

The trees below are in the parking lot at the NC Arboretum. They are so brilliant and have such perfect shapes they look like a row of red-orange lollipops.
