Fairfield’s Flowers

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”
  ~John Muir

Yesterday while waiting on my car to be serviced, I decided to take my camera and walk up Main Street in Fairfield, VA,  to look for interesting old homes to photograph. When I got to this house I was almost knocked over by the beauty of these flocks, and the gentleman mowing his lawn seemed tickled that I was taking pictures of the flowers.It was one of those special times when what I saw was so pretty I just had to take a picture of it. I added Kim Klassen’s “warm sun” texture. If you enlarge the picture, you will see all of the little goodies he has all over his yard.
