In My Neighbor's Back Field…on a Walkabout…

Sometimes, your next best photo is right there in your own back yard.

I love the trains that go by my house..I can envision them back in the day…passing my now, 106 year old house. 

Of course, they were the old locomotives then and I most likely wouldn’t have had a camera in hand.  Some things about progress are good.  I do so love the simple things but….

  1. Love the photo with the train in the back ground! Of course I have a love of old trains and speeders! I use to belong to a speeder club and took many trips on the rails. Here's to a great weekend!!!!

  2. I love the sound of the trains that go by. It reminds me of when I was a young Mama, and would sit up in bed with my babe in arms, nursing in the quiet of the night. I can remember hearing the whistle of the trains going by. Such a nice sound, and such a sweet memory.

  3. The train tracks aren't too far from us and I've always found the sound so comforting, whether it be a commuter train, a freight train, or one on it's way up the coast via Santa Barbara, Northern Calif, Oregon, on into Washington. One of my most memorable trips was the train ride I took from Everett, Washington thru the Cascades to Michigan. Guess that's why I love Washington so much, the Cascades were breathtaking.

    I grew up not far from the train tracks-I still enjoy the sound of
    the wheels on the track.
    Nice rural photos. There's so much beauty in the simple things, if we just look for it.
