small town born, farm raised,
city crushed, highway slam-jammed—
settled on the fringe
blinked and it changed
shadows erased—beams and rays
sunlight at daybreak
shadows erased—beams and rays
sunlight at daybreak
big picture to small
look deeply into shadows
hidden treasures wait
look deeply into shadows
hidden treasures wait
rustic charm abounds
lose your way on the back roads—
look through childlike eyes

ReplyDeleteGreat shots :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the reflections of the herons! Is the little building a boathouse?
ReplyDeleteWe're coming and we're going to move in to that little shed. Please make with the welcome baked goods.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of place! and beautifully photographed, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThis was a nice visit to your area!! New England, huh? Oh, like your header thought to overthinking {me too} :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That one with the heron and pelican, that should be a postcard! Do you sell your work? I'd love to buy that one. Nothing wrong with the others ;-) you've got a great eye for framing a shot. I also really appreciated your words ~ just what I needed to hear today as I'm stressing out to go relax.

Nice eagle shot! You know, I have all kinds of birds here, some that have really strange and unique songs, yet I never have been able to catch a glimpse of them, let alone a photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the overgrown rail line. It's a bit nostalgically sad, but it reminds me of an area where I once lived (which I did love).
Great photos, as usual.
;-)
I could almost hear the quietness and serene atmosphere there.
ReplyDeleteYour photos have a tranquility that is very appealing to me. Love them all!
ReplyDeleteEach reflection is a work of art. Love the haikus.
ReplyDeleteLove these great shots!!
ReplyDeleteLovely rustic reflective photos! :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful words and beautiful photos Cheryl. welcome back!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, the poem is lovely but the photos are amazing! I love, Love, LOVE the reflection in the first one. The reflection in the second one is great, but the rays of sunlight in the third is show stopping. And, seriously, who doesn't love herons?
ReplyDeleteNice set of relfection indeed... The first one is very intriguing, to say the less, and I just love th third one, so green !
