So as I’ve previously mentioned here, I recently spent a day in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. And while the scenery was truly magnificent, I must admit that I was feeling a might bit homesick during my stay. Having been on the road for 10 days and 1700 miles at that point, and knowing another 1000 miles lay between me and the bayou, I’ve got to say that I was kind of wishing I could hop on a plane and be done with those traveling blues that I was momentarily suffering from. And as I sat gazing over a mountain so full of orange and red and yellow leafed trees that it appeared as if on fire, I was actually trying to conjure up images of the marsh landscape I was missing so deeply. But as I was about to put myself out of my misery, take a nap and hope for dreams of orange sunsets and red fishes and yellow corks bobbing in calm dark waters, a precious little girl approached and said, “You know there are a lot of fun things to take pictures of around here. Want me to show you?” But of course! How can you resist a private tour by a Shenandoah Valley expert? Let’s go!
Oh yes, that leaf is very pretty. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, that rock is very interesting. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, that water is very clear. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, that bird cage is precious. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, that flag is darling. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, that birdhouse is very well crafted. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, that swing does look very fun. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, Hunter does go very fast on that tractor. Yes, of course I will take a picture of him.
Oh yes, that frog does look very slimy. Yes, of course I will take a picture of him.
Oh yes, we should let him go to catch another day. But yes, of course I will take a picture him before he hops away.
Oh yes, that leaf does look like a heart. Yes, of course I will take a picture of it.
Oh yes, my friends, she is too sweet and did steal my heart. Thank you Reese for showing me all of the wonderful things to take pictures of in your world. I never would have noticed them without you as my expert guide.
Never stop exploring my little friend.
Thank you, Diane. This is beautiful. Peace, Courtney
Thank you for sharing the pictures with me and thank you for coming to visit us. I had a great time with you. I miss you so much and hope to see you soon!
Love, Reese
We love, love, love the pictures and story to go with them! Thank you so much for sharing these. Hope you are well.
Ben and Leslie
Ahhhh, thank you Reese! I miss you too! I hope you and Hunter and your Mom and Dad are having a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful scenery and all the fun things to do where you live. Maybe the next time you come to visit Grandpa and Grandmere, I can show you some of the things that I think are pretty and interesting and fun and amazing in my backyard.
Your Friend,
Diane
