Description Completed in 1855, the Castle is a signature building and home to the Smithsonian Visitor Center. A bronze statue of Joseph Henry, the first secretary of the institution (from 1846-1878) stands at the entrance. The bronze statue was commissioned in 1880 and installed in 1883, at which time it faced the Smithsonian Building. It was turned to face the National Mall in 1965.

Artist Statement I am a creative homebody ~ there's no place where I am as happy and content. While being home, I enjoy being productive inside and out. Most of the photographs I've captured were taken when I've been working in our gardens/yards to grow flowers and vegetables, doing landscaping projects and creating a backyard habitat for many of the precious creatures I've been able to photograph. I do enjoy travel (also an inspiration for another gallery) as long as it's for an abbreviated time and there's a promise of museums, art and history to be absorbed. Finally, my heart is full when I am with my family. My husband of 30+ years is my rock and soul mate. Together, we have the sweetest little Corgi (enter another gallery!) that is a complete joy and fills the void that our "empty" nest once had. I hope you'll find some beauty, joy and fondness in the galleries I've shared here. Enjoy and God bless...
