Sometimes it's easy to forget we live in such a beautiful place. After all, the beauty is always around us, and I'm afraid we get used to it.
I took these photos Tuesday morning on my drive to work. (My special thanks to my fellow-motorists who swerved to avoid me.) I don't claim they're art. But they helped me remember the beauty of this little town, nestled in the gentle curve of a green river.

Beautiful pictures! Makes me homesick, Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThe third photo indicates that there really is very little left of the old downtown area - very few original buildings. That is very sad.
Where are the buildings that I remember: the Hobby Shop, Mountain Sun, Walgreens, Penney's, Lehmann's, Schreiner Bank, Blue Bonnet Hotel, Vogue, Anthony's, Ice Plant, Furman's Insurance, or Fawcett's?
Still, I am grateful that the downtown area has not gone the way of so many other downtown areas - avoided, abandoned, practically in ruin.
I made one mistake. The Fawcett's building still exists.
