I love the top one Kathleen.. beautiful photos.

Oh my, that bottom photo is pure eye candy. Straight of Lord of the Rings. Was this a sun down shot?

My dear Kathleen...
No one quite does it like you!
The boy and the dog is just sooo joyous. And as for the 'Pine Stand...well, I'm yearning, my dear (I still believe in magic).
I'm thinking of Housman today, too. Let me see, ah,yes, here we are:

'Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.'

Sad but beautiful.

Again, lovely! That first photo of the boy in the water is just precious!

Kris:
Yes, the bottom one was taken at sunset. Thanks!
Kathleen
