Here is Oakley Plantation, sometimes called "Audobon House" because John James Audobon in 1821 was hired by the plantation owner to tutor his daughter Eliza. It was here that he painted 33 of his famous bird paintings.

Wow! Awesome! Is that a two-floor porch/atrium? Great image, and another lesson in early U.S. history to boot!

What an interesting house! Did you get to go inside and see where JJA painted those masterpieces? You did a wonderful job of capturing the house with great detail and focus.

I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet... so I says to him, "Hey brother, ya wanna sell those shoes?"
