MY PRIVATE DOMAIN

I had two new year resolutions for 2020. One was to sell this place and get the hell out of here. I'm presently so  overwhelmed with problems that I can hardly remember my own name.
Was it Beauregard?? 

So, what's the second resolution?

Heck. I can't remember.


As I was going through my photo files the other day (see previous post) I started pondering all the photos that I took here on my property. And I said (to myself, of course)
"How many other people have this much beauty in their own back yard?"

All I have to do is step out my door and I see amazing stuff.

Living here has been an extreme challenge for me. 
The house is a dump compared to what I'm used to. The complications and inconveniences of rural living are profound (especially with my increasing health problems). 

BUT - - -
every time I look outside and savor my surroundings, I'm glad that I'm here.
I have peace. I have privacy. Little by little I can try to conquer the problems. Difficult things can't be accomplished in a day. But there's hope.

Random glimpses of my private domain.

 One of my favorite photos - evening clouds after a huge storm.

More clouds from the same storm

Rainbow after the storm
(but where's the pot of gold?)

This is the cow pasture adjacent to my property. When I saw the rainbow, I grabbed my camera and ran.

The forest in my back yard in autumnal glory

 Winter wonderland




 Spring




 Summer
a rather uninteresting time for photos -
greenery, weeds, and bugs

 It's not easy to get a clear shot of the moon.

As much as I hate spiders, their webs are fascinating works of art.
