If you have the time and inclination, please come along with us on the jaunt we took into the deep hills this afternoon. The slideshow is posted at right. Let me know what you think.
Another fun photo-ramble. Thanks for sharing it. I think I like the solitary images the best: the sole tree against a winter-cloud sky and the chimney standing alone, the house long gone. So... you were prowling around an abandoned house, eh? Trespassers, eh? I love those old houses. I had a huge abandoned stone house next door growing up. There's always such an aching sadness to a house like that, with echoes of what it was and what it could have been. Hear any faint ghostlike footsteps of the children who lived there long ago? I bet there's a future article that will be prompted by one of these old rickety farmhouses.
Very nice!
Celia, you need to visit rbmegert and check out the video he made about prayer. It is phenomenal.
Celia, what a fun way to spend a weekend - one of my favorites! You found some great stuff to capture in your lens. I especially liked the series showing the cloud activity behind that lone, bare tree. And the swing (makes my inner 9-year-old jump to attention too). And the pictures of you and Doyle...beautiful!
Oh, the absolute JOY of hi-speed internet, allowing me to actually view your slideshow! (I can now have it in my office at the farm using my phone as a modem! Not at home yet, though...) I love the pictures of the old structures...they always just call my name. The old hotel/boarding house must have been well built...I noted the upper door onto what must have been a porch at one time had sidelights on either side...quite unusual in rural Ozarks.I especially loved the views looking at that old house through the bare trees...kind of spooky and yet beautiful. Best, though, is the chimney of hewn limestone....just love that! I want that! Think how long it has stood there, braving the elements, long beyond the life of the structure it once warmed. Great pictures of you and D, too!
The pictures are beautiful. I loved the trip. Thanks!
