"I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world."
  ~~George Washington
The rain held off on a gray day.
A country walk down old farm lanes and homesteads was peaceful with nothing but the sounds of the wind and the crows...

​"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."
  ~~Walt Whitman
The Canadian Geese were flying above and I could hear quail in the field across from me.
Standing on a hill watching the sunset in front of me, 
I turned to find this old barn lit up in a golden light...

​"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
  ~~Wayne Gretzky
Tom and I have been driving through the country a lot these days looking for "For Sale" signs.
I find more things to photograph than signs.
And that's okay.

"Empty barrels make the most noise..."
​  ~~Swedish Proverb
While waiting for Tom to check the bee hives, I wandered through this old barn.
I'm still hopeful we find property with one of these old buildings still standing...

“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”
  ~~Francis of Assisi
The day started out with clouds and I dragged myself out the door for a walk.
It wasn't long before the sun broke free and brought a little warmth to fight the cold wind.
It feels like January is waning...

"The only things I own which are still worth what they have cost me are my travel memories… the mind pictures of places which I have been hoarding like a happy miser."

Another country walk found the final resting place of old memories on an old homestead...

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
  ~~Albert Einstein
These third grade students are making dots.
Lots and lots of dots.
The art room was unusually quiet as they focused on filling their designs with the colors of nature...

“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.”
  ~~William Sharp
I arrived on the trail to walk just as the lanterns were lit and the sun was setting.
Welcome to the annual Dacey Trail Luminary Walk.

"Tell it softly, speak it low
Ere winter's breath covers all in snow..."
  ~~Frederick Weyer
Up and out early to start the car and layer the clothes.
Winter has arrived and touched everything with her icy fingers...
