You Can’t Chain Me From Nature

My Memories of "The Secret Garden"

“The Secret Garden” was one of my favorite books, and I adore the original movie. The remake was wonderful, but the old one continues to touch my heart. After taking these pictures and looking at them on my computer, all I could think of was that book. Maybe it is the dark circular spot in the bushes behind the gate that made me think of the book.

Our Latest Discovery Hidden away 

on a Back Road in Rockbridge County

Without any idea of where we were going, we headed down a dirt road, along a creek, and near the Maury River.  Buddy was driving, and I was looking for barns to post on Tricia’s Barn Charm meme. It was then that I turned to say something to Bud and saw out of his driver’s side window this gate with its reflection and those of the trees around it in the cold water.

After getting out of the car, we began nosing around the area. It was then I saw the most beautiful accumulation of texture filled rocks with light and reflections radiating everywhere (first shot). They were off to the left side of where the owners ford the creek to get to their land. I find it interesting that the color in the second shot changed when I changed my location. It is almost like these were taken on different days. You know the rest of the story. It was a quite a while later we were finally on our way to see and shoot more of the sights and scenes of Rockbridge County, VA.
