    You don’t need words Patty…not when you take such evocative pictures. There’s a whole history come to mind when I look at this photo.

    A truly evocative image. Reminds me of the song, “Ain’t gonna need this house no longer, ain’t gonna need this house no more…”

    Lovely subtle photographs, greys with just a touch of colour, and I like the way you have the smudged edge frame.

    Oh my, that field is so beautiful but up against the old worn house it’s, hmm., not sure what the word is but it affects me.

    Your photo reminds me of a story Rick told me about a joke he played on a friend from the South (a roommate or suitemate in college, I think.) He had a wee cotton plant and was trying so hard to get it to grow in his dorm room. One day, someone opened a bottle of aspirin and pulled out the cotton to toss aside. Rick put it on the guy’s plant somehow and for a brief moment he was fooled. I think it was kind of mean, but also kind of very funny! My experience seeing cotton plants is far more limited! This is a lovely photo!

    I wonder what stories that old house could tell! My grandmother and mother picked cotton on the farm near Nixon,Tx. Not one of my mother’s favorite memories. Each photo told a different story.

    I’ve never seen a cotton field before, whether in real life, or in photos. That house in the background has one whale of a back story, I suspect. Stunning photos, as always.

    Your photos speak volumes. I’ve never seen a cotton field before. The weathered farm house and dry field make think that it’s the turn of the century…the previous one I mean. 🙂

    Dear Patty
    Oh such evocative images.
    I can imagine that beautiful house being home to a loving family – what stories can it tell? I would love to restore it back to life.
    It takes me back to John Grisham’s book “A Painted House”.
    Cotton fields are beautiful – I would love to see them.
    Enjoy your weekend
    hugs
    Shane

    Hello Patty, I have been enjoying a long catch up on your wonderful blog. These images here are amazing. I love that you got the shot of the cotton too. I never knew they grew cotton here in NC until I moved here.
    Hugs,
