North Georgia Skyline

I figure since we tout the beauty of our piece of Heaven it might be time to show off a bit. I moved onto the property, shortly after Declan was born, last year in May. At first, I was shocked at how accustomed to living in town I had become! There was an adjustment period. I mean I grew up merely 10 miles from 'town' and on 13 acres where my siblings and I pretty much had free reign. I appreciated, even as a child, the honeysuckle, bullfrogs, lightening bugs, whippoorwill calls, lizards, tall pines, and the creek. I loved the outdoors. Only like every other wild spirit with no where to roam I ran towards the hustle and bustle and became used to everything being 'right there'. In the past year, I have been witness to some pretty awesome things around here that reminded me why I wanted to raise my kids in the country, just as I had been. I could post hundreds of novice photos I've taken. Here are the best of my favorite shots of my favorite part of living here, the views from around the farm:

the end of a rainbow, a sight unseen until my 27th year
