Neighborhood Walk














This tree with the bent trunk is
considered a meeting place for the
local Native Americans. We have a
Cherokee friend who told us that
these trees are bent while they are
still small and become a gathering
place for all the Native American
people where there will be peace.
This tree isn't far from our home
There are others in this area.














The Honeysuckle had a sweet smell
today. There is a lot of it in our
neighborhood. I have transplanted
some next to the deck of our home.














This is a treat that I always look
forward to. The wild Blackberries
are ripe and sweet. I usually stop
for a few berries on my walk. The
wild blueberries are almost gone
so these berries got here just in
time.














At the top of this little hill is
a Baptist church. It is about one
quarter mile from our home. I pass
it everyday on my walk. From our
house to the end of the neighborhood
and back home again is one mile. It
is uphill both ways! I try to walk
it twice a day.














This lake is about 200 yards from
our home and is a great place to
walk to for some peace and quite.
It is the water supply for our
little town.














While standing on the bank of the
lake I saw what looked like a
cross in the water. I looked up
at the clouds and spotted what
caused the reflection of the cross
Use your imagination and look at
the blue sky through the clouds.
It almost forms a cross.
