a little bit of country in the fall

a-little-bit-a-country

 secret places, where time stands still..

 quiet-places




 My great escape..love walking around here.. not really much to see.. but its open and free..
and makes ones soul sore..

Excape


 I love railroads.. used to play around them all the time when  young.. can't do that anymore.. but the memories will always linger..

such wonder to behold on the rails of life, if one just goes beyond the bend..

 last of summers beauty..

I think I have had enough of fall.. really missing the warmth of summer..those wonderful smiles only flowers can bring.. the smell of BBQ's..open fire pits.. camping.. but then I can still BBQ.. so not all is lost.."smile"

Have a beautifully soft and kind day.. much love..
~Hope

    Your photographs are beautiful, Hope...I have always been fascinated by photos which have obvious vanishing points such as the fence in the one photo, then the railroad in the other; makes me wish I could follow them deeper into the image.

    The second capture showing the branch with a few leaves before a river or stream is so delicate and lovely; it really goes with the sounds of birdsong on your Playlist player...very peaceful...

    Thank you for a wonderful ending to my blog-wandering this morning, sis. I know I'll sleep well now.

    A certain scruffy bear sends his respects...

    Love you.

  17. I just love your stump. I have been trying for years to get a good stump photo. Also love the train tracks. Yes the color is creeping in with summer left over here and there. I so love this time of the year... Hugs Carrie

  19. I sent your blog to my friend Carole and I know your writing is copyright. my friend Carole in Wisconsin, would like to know if she could
    use Time Passes poem for a Silent Women's Retreat at the Jesuit Retreat Center in Oshkosh, WI on the shores of Lake Winnebago. She prints up just enough of the "handouts" to put at each person's place as they eat meals..... because there is no talking, you spend your time praying, reflecting, getting in touch with God and yourself. THe handouts are meant to prompt their thoughts and prayers.
    thanks and its ok if not

  20. What Beautiful compositions, each and everyone of them. My favorite one is the railway tracks with the golden colours and blueberry clouds, and mountains. Love how the tracks turn a corner. Makes me wonder what is around the bin. :)
    Blessings... Dianne :)
