Poem

Out a door through time
Chasing yesterday
Open fields, green grass
Draw me on my way

I recently shot this photograph while visiting an historic wooden cabin at Cades Cove, located near Townsend, Tennessee. The door is off-center and it’s a little dark, but if the light draws your interest, prints are available in my gallery.

Thanks for dropping by!
