How could I know and appreciate the present if I knew not the beautiful past?

Another wonderful picture and a great title, Mary Alice. Very nostalgic! Cheers, Anne

MaryAlice, on May 18, said:

Jacques, Thank you so much for your kind visit. I so glad that you enjoyed the photograph. Yes, it was a little blue Ford parked up under there! I thought it was all so nice. I'm really glad that you stopped by, and thank you for your praise. :)

Anne,

I'm very happy that you came by to see this old barn, and I'm especially happy that you liked the title. I think a good title is necessary to compliment our photos and moods. :) Thank you so much for your praise! It means a lot to me.

Thank you again both for stopping by my gallery.

Greetings,

Mary Alice

On one of your pics some weeks back I had used the term "lurching like a shuggy boat" and then couldn't give you a link to an image of one. Well, I dug out some old prints from a visit to England, so HERE you go - shuggy boats!

Greetings from northern California,

Another beauty you have created, Mary Alice. It is overwhelming these amazing structures all around you - and all seemingly forgotten and left for natural decay. And that beautiful car!!! I would be tempted to find out who owns it and offer to take it off their hands ;O. Is your title a quote? It is very true. A quote by Mary Alice perhaps ;). Thank you for continuing with your telling documentaries. -alicia

MaryAlice, on May 21, said:

Indeed, it was a quote, Alicia! A quote from Mary Alice! :) Was it okay? I was trying to come up with something fitting for the mood.

Your visits are so special to me. Thank you so much for always building me up.

This little barn and car actually do belong to someone, but their house is across the street and I couldn't resist the shot. :)

Thank you again for your wonderful visit. I hope the evening is treating you well.

Warmest regards on this calm and clear sky night! :)

Aha - it is after midnight now for you, and it is lightly raining here in Seattle. amazing. But a nice soft night rain. I am glad, though, that you are not having raging storms. I love your title/quote and it is very poetically fitting. If the owner is right across the street maybe you could ask them if they want the car and I will pick it up when I visit :~>. Warmest regards to you too. -alicia

Greetings, Marilyn! Home from South America? . . . And you live to tell about it! ;) I'm so delighted that you stopped by! :)

I'm on my way out the door for work, but I'll be stopping by your gallery later on to catch up with your new photos.

Thanks so much for checking in from Ontario.

Warmest regards to you,
