Sandburg Reflections

Colorful leaves still cling to a fallen tree in the quiet autumn lake at Connemara, Carl Sanburg?s home in Henderson County, North Carolina. ?? ?There is a music for lonely hearts nearly always. If the music dies down there is a silence. Almost the same as the movement of music. To know silence perfectly is to know music.? ?From "Complete Poems" by Carl Sandburg

Autumn Colors

Autumn leaves color the lake at Connemara, which is fed by fresh spring water shown in the foreground.

Queen of the South

Flowering Dogwood might be called the Queen of the South?s flowering trees. In winter it sleelps quietly, ?"?But at the sound of whip-poor-will, ?The dogwood blossoms on the hill, ?Come fluttering on the April skies, ?Like hosts of white-winged butterflies.? ???????Travis Tuck Jordan

Southern Pink

Flowering White Dogwood might be called the Queen of the South?s flowering trees, but the Pink Dogwood shown here might be called the Queen of Landscaping, showing up around many Southern homes.

A Walk in the Woods

?The stillness of nature speaks louder than a choir of voices.? ?Anonymous Nature puts on a stunning show of color while walking along a path through the woods at Connemara, in Henderson County, North Carolina.
