rustic hydrangea

Late afternoon on a November day in North Yorkshire, the light fading fast and the mist coming down.

“There's something very enticing about an empty bench under a tree. And if it's facing a river, that's the bench for me.”

―Joyce Rachelle

I passed this barn while traveling some back roads near Empire. The late afternoon sun made it challenging to photograph. I really like its design and the weathered red painted wood. Although it's hard to see, there's also a nice vintage gas pump sitting to the right.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES

ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

Equisetum hyemale

Its name is of Latin origin, composed of "equi" (horse) and "setum" (tail), that is, ponytail. Here in Brazil it is known as "Cavalinha".

This plant is considered to be over 300 million years old, making it comparatively one of the oldest forms of plant life in the world.

"Inhotim" Foundation, Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

If only you could hear the stories these old trees tell you.

Wenn man doch die Geschichten hören könnte, die einem diese alten Bäume erzählen.

Rusty Art....maybe just art itself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Rustic Garden Gate found this while I was wandering some back streets, interesting idea found in North Carolina.
