It's A Little "Chilly"

I have to admit, I didn't know what these pretty little guys were until I read the sign. They are chili peppers! Quite appropriate for fall weather, don't you think?

In The Eyes Of The Beholder


Ms. Scarecrow seems delighted with what she sees.
(P.S. Happy Halloween! This is as "scary" as I get. :)

Inquisitive Nature

An undercover investigation occurs as I approach the rural home of Mr. Horse with my camera.

Enjoying The Journey

No one knows what is just over the next hill, but it is, after all, the ride that counts.

Designed For Fall

It would appear Mother Nature intentionally created these flowers to include in her autumn collection, carefully painting orange and yellow stripes on each individual petal.

Live Art

Mother Nature paints her own rendition of autumn beauty as a reflection in the framed window of a small outbuilding in rural Nashville.

Out Of The Line Of Fire

A very old fire truck retires in front of his old workplace at a small fire station
in rural Tennessee where he can still be seen, but no longer heard.

Grounded

Older, but more beautiful, they still enjoy their last days in the sun.

In Brilliant Orange

Autumn sunsets are magnificent. This one lit up the sky in one solid mass of concentrated color.

Blaze of Glory

Going out in style . . . becoming even more beautiful as the end draws near.

Table For Two

A homemade table and two straight-back chairs wait patiently in unraked leaves for someone to join them.

Fall Favorites

I love the colors of fall ! Bright oranges, golden yellows, deep reds and browns and winter greens. In fact, I love them so much, they are my "hues of choice" for most of my year-round attire.

Lookin' Up

It's amazing what you see when you stop a moment and take the time to look at things from a different viewpoint.

We're On Our Way!

Mother Nature is currently painting a brand new color scheme for us, so follow me and let's enjoy her show!

Field of Reflection

Time alone in the last rays of summer to feel its warmth and recall its beauty.

Garden Angel

This ceramic angel is very special to me. I purchased her a few years ago when my life was in turmoil, hoping she would serve to remind me that there is help in the unseen world. I pass by her daily as she sits in my front yard, and she continues to do just that. Yes, I believe in angels.

Dancin' Baby

This little doll stole the show at a recent bluegrass festival. On stage and dressed in her official dance shoes, she high-stepped with the best of them.

Up, Up and Away !

When it's your time to fly, you don't need wings.

Going Back

Rural and historical areas often abound with colorful wheels that once moved with purpose. They now stand forever still reminding us of another time.

Got Pollen?

By this time of year, I thought that bees might just "bee gone." They are not. I snapped this photo yesterday at a garden shop. If you ever wanted to see exactly what it is that bees do, here you go!

Native American

It seems appropriate to post this picture, since yesterday's was one of a cowboy. =) There just happened to be an authentic Indian Pow Wow today down the road from where I live.

Morning Fog

Mother Nature leaves her foggy signature on a typical rural landscape in south Nashville.

Eye To Eye

"Created" meets "Creator" as this portrait comes to life on canvas. It is as if their eyes meet in mutual admiration. Meanwhile, the "real" lady modeling for her portrait (off- camera) waits with patient anticipation to see the final rendering.
