Take a Canopy Break
Forget the news, forget your work, forget your aches and pains, forget your revved-up mind chewing over every little thing. Take a canopy break. Find a relaxing place to sit, look at each canopy below, take a few minutes each and imagine slowly walking through or sitting under each canopy. Let the joy of creation wash out all the anxiety and restore harmony.

Very nice, but they don’t have geo-cordinates in the EXIF data so I can look up to see where they were taken.
This morning I removed some of the canopy over our driveway so big trucks can get through (or so shiny smaller trucks can get through without complaining about what the branches will do to their paint jobs).

Are you sensing a high level of anxiety on Ricochet? If so, I would agree. :-) :-)
I always go to my garden whenever I’m feeling like the world is ending.
It’s all a mirror of my own, and has nothing to do with Rob Long.
Wow! Thank you for that, Mark.
If you happen to be in the Western NY area, you have a blanket invitation to visit the Robin Hill Nature Preserve, where I am blessed to live.
Added incentives: the annual Wine Garden Walk is this Thursday starting at 5, with six local wineries (one of them is a mead specialist!) and picnic dinners available from a locally-sourced eatery.
And in Aiken, there’s South Boundary Street:
What is it the boundary of?
Points to Thomas Kincaide. He’s painting a semi-impressionistic aspect of the world as it is, it seems.
Gorgeous.
Tree tunnels—I love them! I hate it when the county tree chopper comes around the gravel roads—they wipe out the tunnels, leave branches in the ditches, and the ragged shards of limbs on the trees look terrible….
Thanks, I needed that
Been there and have a very similar photo, but from the fall.
Looking at the old maps that are available at historicmapworks.com hasn’t given me any clues. Maybe an old city boundary? (I did learn that South Carolina counties were once called districts.)
And in the winter, a different colder canopy:
Used to be the old city boundary line. The winter homes of the wealthy northeasterners were built along Whiskey road south of Boundary, hence they were called the SOBs . . .
Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, SC also has an oak avenue:
While taking your canopy break, might as well Take a Pebble:
Thank you for such an exquisite offering of pure beauty. Here is my offering: Afton Villa Gardens, north of Baton Rouge, where we stopped for a bit of respite on our way home from Sunday visits to Natchez. A beautiful vista.
