A lovely day on a nature trail

 

A scenic resting spot along the trail

 

At the beginning of the trail

 

The trail was nicely groomed and very wide. Easily the nicest trail we have walked on.

 

The foundation walls of the first potato house we came to

 

The sign on the first potato house

Another rest area along the trail

 

The foundation wall of the Bill McGuire house

 

The Pinder Mill Pond

 

An interesting sign of a named business

a yellow mini pen for mellow yellow Monday

My husband is a collector of old fountain pens. Recently he has been cataloging his collection and I have been photographing them for him. Yesterday he showed me this lovely yellow 'mini' pen. as you can see by the measuring grid above it is quite mini. with its cap on , shown above, it measures less than 4 inches in length.
This small pen is a golden pearl' mini (1920's) enduro fountain pen The background fabric seemed perfect to use for these photos having a winter theme of white snowflakes on a yellow sky? making both the season and yellow theme perfect for this posting.

This is a favourite pen of mine!

Our quasi winter

Seemingly like winter: How so? The month is December,

the temperatures are frigid ,

and at times we have snow, although there is not much laying in the fields and meadows
And there is ice in the rivers. Such is winter 2012 in My Wotld in New Brunssick, Canada.
The long yelloed grasses decorate the hillside slopes and meadows.
Feed is provided for the farm animals that are outside that do not find grazing in the fields.

Red Dogwood border edges of fields .

Have a great day everyone.

soul within for one single impression

Likened to my Soul:

Furrowed trunk

Weathered and aged with years

The essence of its strength within anchored in life,

Nourished by its roots of its surrounding life experiences.

Its branches seeking light and substance to nourish its spirit

Remaining firm and upright guided by its sprit within

Be brave and endure the wintering and weathering of its

survival

endurance is the key.

This post was created in response to the word, 'soul, which is this week's prompt at One Single Impression. For more poetry on this theme please visit the hosting site
