Insight with Good Fences

Insight










A stroll through town.
A few fences
And a few critters along the way.



Lions in stone or alive are always
Sharp, shrewd and smart.

A place where lions watch over all.
















"A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience."
Oliver Wendell Holmes







"A man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation,
and never shrinks back to it's former dimensions."
Oliver Wendell Holmes



What once was Lakeville's All Saints Catholic Church





Is now our Lakeville Area Arts Center












Visiting the memorial garden at McGuire Middle school where plaques, birdhouses, benches, newly planted trees and pavers commemorate those who have died. In honor of teachers as well as students.










I took this photo a couple of years ago,
 but it's a perfect photo to remind us that 
it's tick season once again.  







Don't put off your tick checks,
 especially when romping anywhere outside.

Lovely shots, Karen. It's not the ticks that get me...it's the gnats.
