In my grandmother’s house / I live surrounded by old / dark wood and the song / of the wood thrush / playing on tape. In my grandmother’s chair / I sit fitting into cotton / crevices formed by old hips / and wood worn smooth / by soft wrinkled hands. I’m occupying still-warm / vacated spaces. My grandmother’s strong bones / are buried in the graveyard / by the interstate highway / but I catch reflections / of her memories / in the bathroom mirror / as I pass. She is too quick for me. (Dedicated to my grandmother, Tallulah Little Dozier) / Copyright 1989-2009 Elizabeth Dozier Steedly I took this picture a week after my grandmother passed away in 1989, leaving me the gift of her wonderful, organic home where I lived for sixteen years. Living in this quaint, old house tucked into the woods of South Carolina was one of the greatest joys of my life. FEATURED in the IMAGEWRITING Group – November 13, 2009!!

According to Country Life, October 2002, “Alnwick (pronounced Anik) is the most picturesque market town in Northumberland, and the best place to live in Britain”. The town is situated 32 miles (51 km) south of Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Scottish border, and 5 miles (8 km) inland from the North Sea at Alnmouth. The town dates back to approximately AD 600, and over the centuries has thrived as an agricultural centre; as the location of Alnwick Castle and home of what were in mediaeval times the most powerful northern barons, the Earls of Northumberland; as a staging post on the Great North Road between Edinburgh and London, and latterly as a modern rural centre cum dormitory town. The fabric of the town centre has changed relatively little and still retains much of its original character; however there has been appreciable growth in size over the last ten years, with a number of housing estates covering what had been pasture, and new factory and trading estate developments along the roads to the south of the town. This is one of the many little side streets and alleys in this lovely town. Gave it a bit of a painterley look.
