HOW EASY IT IS to go about our daily affairs unmindful of the beauty and grace around us. How easy it is to take for granted our beautiful and historic surroundings. Familiarity may not always breed contempt, but it can dull our sensibilities. What better way to put together a summer edition, then, than to take a look at one of Rappahannock’s gems through the eyes of visiting photographers. Jim Birchfield started off his career .as a Virginia country newspaperman, but even-, tually gravitated to big city journalism. After 40 years, he retired from The Washington Star, where he was an editor and author of a respected column on photography. But he couldn’t stay retired long; he’s now a writer-photographer for the Piedmont Virginian and the Rappahannock News. His pictures of Washington were one of his assignments. ...... .
