My Corner of New Hanover
Coventry Pond
Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 9 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
...one of my favorite farm scenes not far off the beaten path of my daily commute, this time in winter. One of my favorite things to do, photographically, is to visit a favorite place and capture its different moods in various seasons and weather conditions. You can see the different moods of this lovely old farm here and here.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

When you find a place this beautiful, you can never take too many photos. The only thing I see missing is one with fall color. Wish I could commute by something this lovely.

I know that exact spot Russ. Nice scene. Low hanging clouds complete it. How was Middle Creek?
