Country Lanes of British Columbia

I've always found peace and contentment

 in the country. Life seems to slow down

and become somehow normal in

the enveloping quietness.

There is always a scene to capture here, 

always time to stop and listen

to the creak of frost slowly 

settling into the timeless weathered fences

along rural lanes.

 Far off cries of chattering blue jays

  echo haunting memories

of summer days long past.
