About Me

My photo
Back Road Whispers is a fanciful name for just liking to travel the back roads of the world, wondering what whispers are lingering in the weathered buildings, rusty farm equipment and closed and boarded up businesses. I stop when I am able and “photograph the past for the future” so my grandchildren and their grandchildren will see what it was like back in the “good old days” of the 20th and early 21st century. Lately I have been exploring the world listening to whispers from palaces, castles, villages, and museums. The whispers need no interpretation.

Down on the Farm

With time on our hands and a few pennies in our pockets my "road dawg" and I took off for some peace and relaxation for a few days at the family farm.  The first afternoon we just hung around relaxing and admiring the beautiful flowers blooming and listening to the birds sing - I think I picked up 7 or 8 new birds on my Merlin app that day.  I can't let you hear the birds but I can show you some of the pretty flowers.

"Welcome to the Family Farm"


The home is surrounded by beautiful flowers, many in full bloom with lots of varying colors.





We even had a couple of visitors, luckily friendly and not intrusive.  Well the stupid fly decided he was invited to arts and crafts day - we even put him out a dish of wine but he must have been a tee-totaller because he just wanted to hang around seeing what marvelous masterpieces we were creating.  (update: RIP-hehehehe)





  


And we do have to include the tree that from above I thought looked like a dog in my weirdo mind.



Come back for Eureka Springs next...another fun day!  I'm heading down the road a piece (my attempt at being country) for some yummy BBQ.
