Photos from another walk in my neighborhood - plus a hidden garden

I so enjoyed my walk around the neighborhood yesterday. As usual, I brought my camera. I went a different direction, and turned left at the next street.

It was there on the corner, I saw a couple putting the finishing touches on a truck they were polishing up. I waved, and Mary, my almost-neighbor, waved me over and talked to me. It turns out we had a friend in common! From way back too.

She was gracious and let me see her beautiful garden, which has been a labor of love for many years. She let me take some photos too.

I took some more photos from the street of the farm, and got to see a horse in the distance.

Also, I met another neighbor, Mary. She and her husband have a cute little garden, complete with fountain and bench. I did get a few photos of it and some other things.

Here are just some of the photos I took:



























































It was peaceful and shady in their yard. They had re-painted some of the figures there. That gave me an idea about the cat I have from Mom. Maybe it can be re-painted too someday.

You can see more of these photos on my Facebook photos page.

Have a GREAT day, loyal and fun followers of this blog. I hope to get my Betsyanne News going soon again, hopefully before or just after the Holidays. If you want to get a copy, just sign up here:

Kentucky has a really beautiful landscape - even from the side of the road.

The State of Kentucky is so beautiful.

Even while driving, you can see gorgeous vistas including corn crops, trees, rocks, clouds, and lots of green.

I took a few pictures today on the way back from a friends' 50th Wedding celebration. It was a mixture of a family reunion, 50th Wedding celebration, and a getting-to-know-you fun time.

These photos were taken on the way back home. My camera behaved for the most part. These pictures had to be lightened up some. I may try painting one of these scenes and seeing how it comes out.

Beautiful stones.


















Field and flowers.

















An old red barn.

















Stones, flowers, and sky.

















Almost home!




















I think just looking out onto farmland and beautiful trees really was relaxing today. I think there should be a real push towards saving farmland and re-developing the cities instead of carving out new developments and making these vistas into more of the same-same houses and roads.
