Flowers and Dilapidations




We went to the OBX this weekend to see how Mark and Sean were doing on home repair. They were doing a wonderful job. They already had the 2 big picture windows in and they were heavy... On the way, we drive through an area of wetlands called appropriately, The Great Dismal Swamp. There are a few rural small towns along the way surrounded by farmland and of course swampland. Wild animals abound ; red wolf, deer, possum, bear etc . Thank goodness we have only seen roadkill and a few deer off in the pastures.... Anyway along this rather empty route, we find many beautiful wild flowers and dilapidated homes and buildings. We decided to capture the buildings and create a possible showing of these "dilapidations". But we were awestruck by the wild wisteria creeping up 30 foot pines and hanging lush and purple like grapes on the vine. I think you might find the beginnings of a photo exhibit in these photos!!!
