"I think I'm going back

to the thing I learned so well in my youth.

I think I'm returning to

all those days when I was young enough to know the truth.

Now there are no games to only pass the time.

No more electric trains, no more trees to climb.

Thinking young and growing older is no sin

and I can play the game of life to win.

I can recall the time when

I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend.

And now I think I've got a lot more than

just my toys to lend.

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide

and everyday can be my magic paradise.

I can play hide and seek with my fears

and live my days instead of counting my years.

Let everyone debate the true reality

I'd rather see my world the way it used to be.

A little bit of courage is all we lack,

so catch me if you can 'cause I'm going back.

I'm going back,

not just sitting, walking away.

Yes, I'm going back.

Going back to my youth.

Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back,

I'm going back..."

🎧Going Back

I shot this broken pencil for a group theme but never got around to posting it. I've tortured it many different ways but not sure I agree with the results so I slid it back to its original state and here it is for this fine Sunday. Seemed appropriate as many are winding up the school year. Happy Slider Sunday - HSS.

May I recommend this oldie but classic -

Beautiful location with early season Bombax ceiba flowers.

Remains of the Abandoned Waller School

Imagine growing up in a small town at the Pacific Ocean, where the road ends and the wilderness begins.

Stowe School is a selective independent school in Stowe, Buckinghamshire, England. It opened on 11 May 1923, initially with 99 schoolboys, and with J. F. Roxburgh as the first headmaster

This indeed an old school. Located in Nes aan de Amstel, it used to be connected to the local church. Now it is a studio for artists. I run or bike often past it and I am always fascinated by it so needed to come back during sunset.

Have a greet weekend and many thanks for your comments & favs

This old schoolhouse was established in 1880 with 37 students. It was renovated in 2021 and is now a B&B - combining charm and modern comfort for guests on vacation.

My entire career has involved teaching....from preschool to high school, Spanish, English, French, and most recently, Special Education. I’ve loved it all, and it’s painful to see what’s happening now. This forlorn old school bus seems to mirror my feelings....

This was not one of the Freedom Schools of the 1960s. Rather, this building was a hotel and cafe, and the proprietor home-schooled her children, as well as some other local children, here. Supposedly the school operated until 2002.

Not sure i learned anything useful in school :)

The Granite School is open to the public, who has, for the most part, not abused it. At the very least, it's still standing and most of the windows are not broken.

This is a rare RB67 shot that was done on the tripod. Usually I handhold everything, but it was too dark for such shenanigans.
