Autumnal Mirror - a photo on Flickriver

            

{"The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on...

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold, and lips like cherries
It's good, to touch the Green, Green, Grass of Home"}

Looking through my camera, I can't tell you why this song appeared, there wasn't an old oak tree (the willow was perfect), nor a lane, nor Mary. The paint was certainly cracked and the house looked like a sad ole padre, but still in remarkable condition if completely abandoned. Those windows spoke volumes, behind the rumpled curtain material and swing frame. 

Leaf colours were bursting, much like the memories this place ignited. A vision stepped out from a memory more amazing than the one I was photographing.
So often in the prairies (weekend photographer), where the lonely wind blows, any old house can feel like home….and visions appear more real then the Green Green Grass back home.
