These scenes from a day trip we took in November.
This passenger looked quite a lot like Bugs Bunny
And left food for the kitty at old Fudge's Mill
We saw geese headed south in their flying formation
I treated this image with an old-fashioned cast
All nestled outside of this heavy, black door
The paint job so old it was crackled and peeling
Brought me back to the 60s - the days of free love
We knew it was time to head back home again
I hope you enjoyed this little diversion
Thanks for joining us on our mini-excursion.

I like these though I'm not seeing the first one.
Very sympathetic processing.
nice i like the LOVE you found
The rain on the window astounds
Very nice. YOu have the eye. I must be more brave at taking photos in the town.
I turned the first one by pressing on it and it shows Bugs Bunny, that is hilarious. The rest were old but, made me feel like its being in the past. Superb again photos.
looks like a lovely day trip
Thanks for taking us along on your road trip.
Very much enjoyed the mini vacation, thank you.
Thanks for the trip across the land.
The world gives us beauty when we are ready to see it! The mailboxes are my favorite!
Thanks for the free tour today. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
i was waiting for Dr Seuss to pop out at any moment! :)
Ah, poetry, rhyming even! And of course such wonderful pictures. It does look a bit overcase, makes for good pictures, eh? :-)
I like your descriptions as well as the photos. The old buildings are great. I walk around here and admire some older buildings.
Ah, a blast of new wind.
The photo with the flock of birds is impressive!
Your blog's fun to visit, each and every time.
But no way in heck will I comment in rhyme.
Fun selection of words and pics.Always lovely here.
Well done, Hilary.
Great shots, love the mailboxes.
You prove that you can take some things that are rundown and unattractive and make a great photo of it . Nice work.
Day trips are the best, especially for photo ops. Love all the images and the verse. Nice show and tell.
I always love when I get to be part of your travels, Hilary. The building with the peeling paint was my favourite.
Those mailboxes don't look any too secure, do they? I see that they have locks on them, but what good does that do when the lid is up? Interesting. Love Frank's comment. :)
Loved your buildings, loved your rhyme, love your pictures of traveling anytime!!
:)
Love the mailboxes and old windows.
Lovely Hilary. Thanks for taking me along on to such an interesting place.
All the pics were so good.and the verse too! I think my fav was the stacked mailboxes.
Yer a poet.
Didja know it?
Tried to choose my favorite but I love them all. ALTHOUGH...I do have a love for mailboxes! A wonderful trip!
you are sensitive to the common beauties around you. Most of us would never think to snap those shots- glad you could SEE what was there. Atmospheric and soulful - that's you all over!
(Shhh. I'm secretly hoping my Sunday sermon, er, POST might be noticed also. . .)
Thanks for beaming this light out daily!

Thank YOU for sharing your trip. That last photo is divine!
Great job with the verse!! I've never been good at rhyming. Loved the day trip!
I love the complexity of the last photo. Thanks for the lovely trip :)
Love the stories each photo reveals. I appreciate the step back in time; not too many small town theatres remain open today. Sad to see the peeling paint on the old building.
Cool post. Love the old theater.
Verse and verser... ;)
So glad you remembered to feed the kitty. ♥
Love the geese picture!
I loved this
wonderful verse and lovely photos
and some fun as well
I can almost hear Bugs calling shotgun
Love the "Love"!!! And the poinsettia in the foreground...
I am still smiling
I so loved this! I feel like I'm missing the simple things that are so incredibly beautiful in life (like stacked mailboxes). Thank goodness you're here to make sure we don't miss it!
Beautiful versatile images, yet so reflective of the month November, with a sentimental nostalgia.;) But the first one made me smile.;))
Have a great week dear Hilary.;))
xoxo
Once again I'm lagging behind
I just can't seem to find enough time
I wished to reply to each one of you
But schedules are tight and that just won't come true
I do hope to visit your wonderful blogs before very long and to resume replying individually but for now I'm going to have to give another group "THANK YOU" to all of you sweet folks who stop by to leave such kind comments. You are the BEST!
Hilary
Oh, wonderful verse and pics
You certainly know all the tricks!
Hilary these are wonderful photos! The geese took my breath away...wow!
I liked the mailboxes. I'm always amazed at what I don't know - learning from photographs is a fascinating subject. Not just taking them, but take a photo of the story.
Everything was so full of character.
The mail boxes and the window frames and the words.

Nuts in May
these photos are beyond being beautiful!
my faves are that ruined building and the last one!
great framing, lead in lines!
beautiful!
i was referring to the aged building and not "ruined" in my previous comment.
xo
Heh. Like the rhymes. You always surprise in some way (pleasantly, I should add.)
Yo! Hilary,
I'd say you've got the makings of a rap song on your hands here.
Trippin' in the hood, and feelin' real good; travellin' far and wide with Hilary for a guide.
Absolutely loved this mini-excursion. Great peeling paint and rainy windshield.
Well anyway, you know me...I really love them all.
I so enjoy your little excursion and the wonderful pictures to boot!
I especially love the rain stained window shot...fantabulous sweetie!
God bless ya and have yourself a magnificent day.
Please drop my for my giveaway. I'll leave the door open and the light on for ya! :o)
The last photo is especially nice--you're right, time to head home!
Thank you all so much, everyone. :)
Great report with interesting images over time.
I love the photo of the mailbox.
Greetings.
You are a rhymin' fool, girl. And I love it.
Just plain amazing. You are a marvel with your camera. I feel like I took the trip with you.
