Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy - . I love you with all my heart. Miss you, Amo.
I'm glad you and Mr Pinker enjoyed spending time with nature. It iis very invigorating!! Happy Wednesday. Hugs, Darlene J
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to walk around in the woods and along the lakes. We enjoyed it very much. And so peaceful. I hope you had a great day, Darlene. I finally sat down to my sewing machine last night. It felt good. LOL. Hugs.
DeleteI love your nature photos, especially the creek/river ones. Don't you wonder where those big boulders come from? That cemetery is wonderful - what a find!
ReplyDeleteHubby and I were perplexed by the boulders because there were no other rocks around like that. It was a nice day to stroll the lake though. Happy Wednesday, Linda and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteMississippi pics look interesting. My daughter lived there for a short time and we visited a few times. That pollen in that photo!!
ReplyDeleteWe started exploring Mississippi a couple of years ago. We find new places to explore each trip. Isn't that pollen photo something? Thank you for the sweet visit, Penny. I hope you had a great day. Hugs.
DeleteGreat photos - thank you for sharing. We had that kind of pollen up here at Clear Creek. It looked like someone had taken yellow paint to the roads! I was fascinated with that green thing - turns out it's pincushion moss - very appropriate! (Where was google lens when we homeschooled? ) LOL! Blessings
ReplyDeleteWell how interesting, Donna. I was not sure what that was, but I thought the moss was pretty nifty. I am going to have to add google lens to my phone. The pollen was as thick as molasses at the lake. It is not as bad here but I am still wiping down the patio tables every day. Wheew! Have a great afternoon. Hugs.
DeleteThanks for sharing these great pictures. At the moment my car isn't black anymore, it's yellow because of pollen. Haha
ReplyDeleteGabi
LOL don't you just hate all of that pollen, Gabi? As soon as you wash it away, it builds right back up. I cleaned on the patio today, wiping down tables and cleaning doors. I bet you tomorrow it will be covered again. LOL. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. I hope you had a super day. Hugs.
DeleteLovely photos; nice spot you chose;;;I like that sentiment "Another Link..." sad but so true...
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
Oh thank you so much, Julierose. It breaks my heart to walk in the old abandoned cemeteries. I want to get in there and clean them up. The "Another Link" really got to me. Have a lovely evening and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteGood morning Melisa.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful photos this morning. The United States has so much to explore. God bless the USA.
Blessings and love are on the way to you. Have an awesome day.

Happy Wednesday, dear Debra. I hope you have had a wonderful day. It was nice and peaceful here with me piddling outside doing odds and ends. Oh yes, we are blessed with so many beautiful places to explore here in the US. There is beauty at every turn. Hugs and love to you sweet friend.
DeleteFun and interesting photos - you come up with creative outdoor pictures! We bought our house in 1986 when I was expecting our first daughter and we have 3 acres with an old cemetery. The oldest are dated to the 1800s and the "newest" is 1903. The cemetery was vandalized for several years before the owners that built the house 3 years before we purchased it tried to put some of the old headstones back up so we are not sure if everything is in the correct places. Over the years we have added a few pets from our daughters and a duck hunting lab my husband had to the cemetery. Old cemeteries are very interesting
ReplyDeleteOh how interesting. Have you done any research on the property dating back to the 1800's or looked up the genealogy of any of the people? It would be really neat to find out who lived there originally and what the homestead was like. I wonder if there used to be a church nearby or was this a family cemetery. Old headstones are very interesting to look at . They put so much work and thought into them. I am glad to hear that it is part of your property so you can take care of it . It is sad to hear when others vandalize cemeteries. Thank you for the sweet visit , dear. Warm hugs.
DeleteWe have had a lot of people over the years visit our little cemetery. It is call Elevation Cemetery and there actually was a Methodist Church that sits where our house is now. We are on the highest point in our county and there are a couple of geodetic markers that are used on our property for surveying at times. In the late 1950s a tornado took out the church. The church owned 4 acres of land with the cemetery and a one room school house and they gave 1 acre to the school. The one room school is still there but has been a private residence ever since we have lived here. We do have some county paperwork the original owners left and they think there are around 75 actual graves in the cemetery. The only time we were "spooked" was the first night we moved in years ago and wondered why the owners sold the house 3 years after they built it - haha! Anyway nothing ever "spooked" us. Our daughters just grew up playing in the cemetery and all of their school friends would have to see it when they came over. Carrie
DeleteVery fun photos, I like that last one of the heart in the sand.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, Kate. I am so very grateful you stopped by for a visit. I couldn't resist playing in the sand. I felt like I was at a big beach by the ocean as the wind blew up the waves along the lake. LOL. Have a blessed day.
DeleteHoly molies. . .all that pollen! The old cemetery was interesting. All the trees that have grown there now. Imagine what the space was like before trees! My favorite photo is of the boulders out of nowhere!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIsn't that pollen photo something? As I approached , I was not sure what was in the creek until I got closer. The boulders were my favorite too. They were right smack in the middle of the beach and there were no other rocks or boulders elsewhere. I love seeing odd things like that. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit, Terry. Warm hugs.
DeleteThank you pictures 👍😊
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so very welcome and thank you for stopping by to visit with me. You brought a warm smile to my day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a wonderful assortment of pictures you shared from your trip, Melisa! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Robin. It was a lovely day to be out exploring. I had never been to this section of the lake before. Seems like we find something new and different each time we go out. I hope you have had a great day, Robin. Hugs.
DeleteThat looks like a beautiful place to camp, Melisa! I bet the old cemetery was really interesting. Did Mr. Pinker fish - and catch anything? Thanks for sharing your photos!
ReplyDeleteOh it was, Diann. Very peaceful too- not a soul was around this area. We were not expecting the cemetery . I think there were about 10 headstones hidden amongst the trees. I imagine they are completely hidden once all of the greenery comes out. Hubby caught a few crappie but they were not keepers . But he had a grand ole' time anyway. Thank you for dropping by. Hugs.
DeleteMerci Melisa pour le partage de ces belles photos .
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so very welcome, Monique and thank you for dropping by to visit me today. I wish you a blessed day. Warm hugs.
DeleteThanks for sharing this lovely images!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Aaaw you are so very welcome, Isabel and thank you for your kind compliment. Have a great rest of the day. Warm hugs and Blessings.
DeleteI love walking through old cemeteries, family, church, military, love them all. The headstone looks like it reads: Another broken link in our household band. Such a different saying! Thanks for sharing. Love all the pictures! Bobbi
ReplyDeleteI am the same way, Bobbi. We were walking down a small path when we found this one. There were about 10 headstones .Some were difficult to ready. I am hoping to do a little research and find out more about them. Isn't that epitaph so interesting? It touched me for that is the way I feel about my sis. Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. I hope your day was a good one. Hugs.
DeleteLovely photos it all looks so nice and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jenny. It was very peaceful and so quiet. We hardly saw anyone out and about there. Thank you for dropping by for a sweet visit. Hugs.
Deletehave camped at granada lake years ago. lovely! thanks for the memories
ReplyDeleteAaw I am so glad these photos brought back fond memories, Kit. That just warms my heart. It is a pretty area isn't it? I imagine it is pretty busy come summer time. I have only visited during early spring . Thank you for the sweet Wednesday visit. Hugs.
DeleteBeautiful nature photos. Interesting cemetery and I like the saying on the headstone. One may wonder about the history behind it, who those people were etc.
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Astrid. Hubby and I like to be outside especially when we can explore new areas. I was wondering the same thing about the people in the cemetery. It was deep in the woods and no evidence of where a structure once was. I would like to research them here soon. It breaks my heart to see a cemetery lost and forgotten. I appreciate the sweet Wednesday visit. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteLove the photos - thanks for taking us along
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing more pictures of your travels with us. Great idea - if you don't find a heart, make one! Old, seemingly forgotten cemeteries make me sad. The idea that all connected to it have passed and no one's left to remember and care for them....just sad. The moss covered rock and the bleached driftwood is beautiful.
