We took a walk and saw this old boathouse2 sitting on a pier

This old boat 2  was next to the old building

This old plug  was hanging on the side

This old life-ring hanger  was still there

Once this was a thriving place.  Now it is lost to time.

My husband and I went to Center Hill Tn. to visit his dad. Since I am still learning to use my new camera I played around in his yard taking pictures.Here's a few of the results.birdhuse finches in mid air wagon wheel On the way home across Monteagle Mountain the clouds were hanging low.low clouds

Traces Of  Time

On one of my walkabouts here, I found this wonderfully Gnarled dead cedar tree.  You could tell it probably has not had any green on it for a very long time.

One of my neighbors was visiting my wife and she saw a picture of me sixteen years ago when I was here before.  She asked who is that?  She has seen me many times face to face, but sixteen years has change me enough she could not tell it was me.

This face has seen a few years, known joy, sorrow, ugliness, been many miles, and many places.
Welcome to my perspective.

Don't know how long the power will be back, so this will be a quickie!  These are what's left of things that were there at one time and all are around the house except one.

End of the Trail

My husband and I went fishing at nick a jack lake in Tennessee last week. He took me to a part of the lake that use to be a cemetary. You see the lake was man made. It was impounded in the 1960's. Before this it was farm country. Supposedly before they flooded the land they relocated everything. Well almost. See for yourself.5 If you look real close you can see the rock built up around the graves. 6 7 When we got closer on the boat you could see the top of the graves were so flat. I could have gotten out and walked on them. It was all so surreal. The graves were marked from the late 1800's. When I saw this weeks challenge I immediately thought of these pictures.

When I was 12 years old, in 1969, we lived in a court of two story apartments in Flushing, Queens, NYC and we played in a "field of dreams" in front of our home.  We played there all the time so grass could not grow.  When we moved out the management planted many trees and built benches so no one could play and disrupted the neighborhood.  This morning I was in the old neighborhood and drove by my childhood "field of dreams".  I couldn't resist taking these photos.  My childhood court was one of many, but the only one now, that has such beautiful weeping willows, planted 37 years ago.  The older trees in the photos, were young in 1969 and we used them as bases and outfield markers.

In awe of serendipity - The photos were taken at 7:55EST, 4:55 PST, a little before Jimmy Neutron posted the biweekly challenge.
