Back in the Past

The other morning, we drove to a great collection of some deserted cabins and old homesteads.  I decided to go with the feel of the scenes, and went for a vintage effect with these images.

Life Gone By

The bare winter branches of the trees add to the forgotten feel of this scene.  The old homestead is falling down, left behind as the family that used to live there as moved on.  But, let’s imagine what life may have been like, with children playing in the front yard, with perhaps some chickens scurrying out of their way.

Back in the Day

Back in the day, windmills were used to generate and power water wells, as well as tell the general direction and power of the wind.  Today, they are but a form of decoration on the plains of the high desert.

Enjoy!

Yesterday’s Picnic

One of the campgrounds at Big Bend National Park, in Texas, has a day-use area that has several picnic tables underneath the cottonwood trees.  As I road my bike past the area, and later rested at one of the tables, I was reminded of times past when we would picnic at similar open areas when I was a child.  I also remembered when my husband and I would picnic along a river, laze about reading, and also ride our bikes, as the mood struck us.  This piece is meant to allow us all to remember the times when our days were full of simple pleasures.
