Take a chance!
On this grey day I was looking for a beach picture to post, when I came across this picture of the barn door by the "house of decrepitude", as "thruthelookingglass" and I affectionately refer to the two old houses and barn in town. I had never really noticed this fabulous old latch that reminds me of the spinning arrow on a game of chance! Look at the ring worn into the wood from the movement of the latch! I love the rusty old latch and the combination of the old stone wall and fading red paint on the door. I think I like that old barn every bit as much as the houses, maybe even more!
And as Susan and I marched up to the old houses, past the posted "NO TRESPASSING, NO HUNTING" signs.... I'm reminded of a message from Mark Twain...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. "
(or, again, as Susan and I say... trespass...it's OK as long as you are carrying a camera and wearing a smile!)
