Midnight Sun."Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn." Mark 13:35
Midnight Sun.

Candlelight.
All the Better to See You With.
Copper Piping. (Not sure why this one is blurry).
Where in the World Would You Go?
Brotherly Love.
Birthday Girl!
Strays.

Some really tall, really different looking thistles. I would love to add some to my perennial bed.
Mom and my SIL carefully going down. Some of us were none to bright and wore flip flops. Me included! (In our defense, hiking -- especially rough terrain -- was not in the plan for the day).
Awed by the rockery overhead and the cave carved by roaring water into the side.
My brother and niece in the cave.

Going back up.
Rescue team practice.


The view of the river from the bridge.
Beautiful lichen.
The same property from the front/back. It actually sits in behind another house. I "sneaked" down their little lane in hope of not meeting them or a dog to get this photo.

Fabulous stonework with lookouts down toward the water. I'm not sure if it used to be part a dam for a mill or whether it was built simply for beauty.
More beautiful buildings.
St Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
An old furniture factory.
My brother trying to stop the dam from leaking :o).
Likely an old mill.


Another abandoned factory.
Beautiful bridgework.
This house was hidden by a super high hedge all around except for the iron gate that you could peek through. I love the field stone pillars.
