"Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn't more complicated than that.
It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is,
without either clinging to it or rejecting it. It requires no effort or even thought, just a certain kind of spirit."
Sylvia Boorstein

Beautiful!....When I see an old abandoned home place like this one, I think about the memories that are held captive inside those walls...

Judy said...

Did you get any closer? Wonderful old house and I love the editing too.

Lovely image, enchanting home!

Barb Schanel said...

Hmmm, makes me want to wander around inside to see what was left behind. Not to take mind you, just to learn about the last people who lived there.

I get sad to see homes like this..I wonder how many generations lived there before someone just let it go. xo

Where do you find these places? You have to wonder about that house's story.

That house would be so much fun to renovate. It has a very symmetrical look. Hmmm...I could see it as a cottage with style. Nice photo.

What an awesome place!
I want to buy and fix it up and make it a happy house again:)

Another forgotten little house full of memories and mysteries. Reminds me of my grandparents farm home. I rescued the Hoosier and 5 legged oak table out of it before it was razed and turned to farmland.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)

gorgeous! no words needed!

I love these old buildings that are tucked away behind over-grown grasses and trees. They always seem to hold a story, don't they? You should host a writing blog and post these kinds of photos for people to create their own stories. I bet you would get some great stuff.

Inger said...

The colors fit the subject. Just beautiful.

Great treatment of that old house - looks like an old family snapshot from way back !

And a wonderful 'ode to the trees' - beautiful shots.

Those lemon bars DO look so healthy !

Wonderful.Picture

Daniel said...

It is a beautiful image. It certainly achieves a lot of positive reaction focused on distant memories.

Someone mentioned 'vintage'; it reminds me of how paper yellows with age.

Well done!!! Perhaps you'll share your technique with your faithful followers. :)

Beverly @ My Sew Sweet Studio said...

If those wall could talk...what stories would they tell? Makes me wonder how a home like that gets abandoned.

Velva said...

That's beautiful...
