Champion American Elm

The sun finally returned this afternoon, so I returned to nearby Rippon Lodge, which is the oldest house in Prince William County. Not surprisingly, there are a number of champion trees on the grounds, among which is the American Elm in the background of this photo of the lodge.

What a difference from earlier in the year. There's also a Rippon WI, so that's where I initially thought these were taken.
