The older I get, the more I find myself looking backward, rather than forward.
Remembering...
And, somehow, even harsh memories are softened with the warm glow of time.
While summers growing up found me essentially completely cut-off from everyone but immediate family, the days were full.
Daylight hours (after chores, of course) were most usually spent roaming the fields, pastures and woods of our little 80-acre farm.
Mostly the woods...
The woods I roam these days aren't the familiar woods of my youth but they still hold a measure of magic...and beautiful things.
Look closely...do you see him?
My peek-a-boo partner for the day.
A young albino buck....
See the velvet of his newly-sprouted antlers?
We played a good long while but I failed to get great photos...alas, he was much better at the game than I.
Beautiful things in humble places....
