I am frequently reminded of a conversation I had a couple of years ago with my neighbor, Thomas Ford. Thomas was sitting on his front porch, as he often did, looking at the world go by, which happens slowly on a country road like ours. He mostly had a view of our farm; the donkeys, chickens and goats on the hillside, the surrounding woods, and a broad sweep of the sky. Thomas was almost 90 and had lived his entire life within 3 miles of our farm. On this particular day, I stopped by to say hello and chat a bit. I don't remember much of the conversation, except for the part where he smiled and said, "You know, this is the most beautiful place on earth!" And he meant it. I have come to appreciate the beauty around us here at the farm every day. It is a privilege to be able to take a mini-break during the work day and enjoy the beautiful scenery around me. I think of Thomas often, when I take a minute to appreciate our little piece of the earth. Here are a few pictures I took on an early morning walk recently...What a beautiful place!
Fascinating places! I love it. So relaxing to see.

Wow, what beautiful pictures. Did you take the photos and add your own Photoshop effects or is that the way you found them? Excellent work.

I just discovered that you can type a reply to comments, so this is coming to you after a substantial pause! All of those pictures were taken with our little Olympus camera, just as they appeared on my early morning walk- no photoshop, just beautiful scenery!
