- The neighbor to the left of my sister's house on the Hiwassee river in North Carolina has this beautiful rock right in front of her back porch. I see her grandchildren sunning themselves on it sometimes or playing gladiator. It was so beautiful on Sunday morning - cool with a light breeze blowing. No grandchildren around, and the neighbor was at church, so I took this glorious photo.
- This bird haven (as I think of it), is halfway between my sister's house and this neighbor. If you click to enlarge, you'll see signs that there is a nest in it. I often see birds flying in and out - usually blue birds. No action this weekend though - there must be fledglings about.
- Not to be outdone in the beauty department, my sister's Daylilies, madly blooming, on the other side of her house (taken on Saturday afternoon). Her late mother-in-law, Grace, planted them long ago. I love how they keep coming back year after year.
- I looked up from my book one afternoon and thought how peaceful that back porch looks from my cushy vantage point inside the house. A perfect afternoon.

Beautiful, blissful captures. Thank you.
It does look peaceful. The bird house is quite elaborate.
It is all so very beautiful and serene....! And how wonderful that those Lilies keep blooming, year after year....!
Your sister's place is a beautiful retreat. I love the glimpse of water beyond the lilies.
How beautiful...dreamy and romantic in the most perfect way.
As long as you have the internet too, it looks like the perfect setting!
This post makes me jealous. It looks so inviting, I wanted to climb into your photos.
BTW Everyone should enlarge your photos. They are so lovely and you get so much detail...like the pine straw sticking of bird box. I bet it was a blue bird nest:~)
Thank you for these moments of peaceful tranquility:~)
Hi Lynn - stunning post and I love your descriptions and I too, like Sara, could climb into your photos for a few days! What a great place to have as 'home' ... wonderful babbling brook, and I love the bird house and those lilies .. and the porch - as I sit here on a wet morning (but we need the rain, so I'm quite grateful - could have done it overnight though, as they thought it would!) ...
Cheers I shall be thinking of these pics during the day .. Hilary
All such great photos, good eye, Lynn, that last one was worth capturing, should be in a magazine. The greens are amazingly vibrant!
And did you find yourself sunning on that rock too? :)
xoxoxo
It all appears very restful. I hope you returned ready to take on your day-to-day once again.
I would totally love to visit that spot, and I'm not even a bird!
Beautiful places here, as usual!
Cool rock to play on. Those look like out Tiger lilies, which tend to spread. That looks like a magazine spot in the "Great Escapes" show...
