Country Roads, Waysides and Sights Found Along Them...

Photos 1, 2 and 4 were all taken on Hwy 278 near Grays, SC... just start driving from Barnwell to Bluffton, you'll know it when you have the right spot... it's breath taking. Number 4 is someone's yard; I just couldn't resist snapping this picture. As I stood on the side of the road, I was afraid of being run over or either shot, but the flowers were beautiful.

Photo number 3 was taken on a rainy winter day in Port St Joe FL, a small town on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

The 5th and 6th photos were taken in or around Fair Play SC, I fell in love with this old building; and the 7th one is of a ancient Indian Mound near Helen GA, I stood on the side of the road again for this on as I often do but I do get out and wander a bit at various times and that takes us to the final three photos... though two of them were taken in the Fall I just had to include them as they both take along the country roads of upper South Carolina.

The final photo was taken in a yard I have passed for years as I drive around Barnwell. Many of us watch and worried as the highway department changed the highway route and took part of his garden. I finally got up the courage to stop and ask could I wander around with my camera and this old birdbath just struck me as beautiful and a beautiful way to recycle (it's cracked and won't hold water).

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
