The World Beyond the Window Day starts once again / Daylight moves black to blue / As the increasing light / Changes the green tree to lime / The sun dances in the sky / Beyond the window glass / The world begins moving / The same repetitive movements / As people get into axle wheel position / And I start my day without you still.. (c)2008 Mary Campbell ___________ Take a walk in Magnolia Plantation, SC in the spring and you’ll see live oak trees covered with spanish moss, azaleas in bloom and just wonderful flowers everywhere. This is a place left pretty much in tack, from before the civil war in the US. The grounds are beautiful, the house much smaller that one might imagine. Camera Canon 5D

Featured in Rhododendrons January 18, 2009. / Placed in Top Ten in the “Springtime Challenge” and *Featured in Seasonal Scapes group, September 24, 2008. This image was taken in the Brighton Azalea Garden in Brighton, Maryland, USA. It is open only during the azalea season, and as such is a very special trip into another world when we can visit here.

Aren’t we all fascinated by Bonsai? I loved the miniature green trees, but when I saw this pink blooming Bonsai Azalea, I was captivated forever. Azaleas only bloom for about a month in the springtime. Whenever I look at this photo, I am reminded how must make time to return to see this when it blooms again.

BEST VIEWED LARGE! This image was taken at the Brighton Azalea Gardens in Montgomery County Maryland in May of 2008. Between the trees you can see Triadelphia Lake, beneath which lay the remains of the Town of Triadelphia. A little history of Triadelphia, copied from the Sandy Spring Museum’s website follows: Born of the Patuxent River and then destroyed by it, the mill town Triadelphia knew years of glory as a leading Maryland industrial center. Triadelphia (“three brothers”) was founded in 1809 by brothers-in-law Thomas Moore, Isaac Briggs, and Caleb Bentley, who married Brooke sisters. Its water wheels powered a cotton spinning mill with six carding engines and 444 spindles, a sawmill, grist mill, and mill for grinding bone and plaster. Around the mills sprang up a structured little city: smithy, cooperage, wheelwright shop, stables, church, cotton factory, company store, post office, cabinet shop, orchard, garden area, meat house, lime kiln, school house, Odd Fellows Hall, 15 detached houses and 11 double houses. Triadelphia’s golden years came after 1840, when Thomas Lansdale took over the factory and mills. The town throbbed with 400 people. Straining eight-horse teams brought wagonloads of raw cotton and supplies from Baltimore and returned laden with muslin, products of the grist mill, and cotton duck for making ship sails. Then came a train of disasters. The Civil War strangled the flow of southern cotton. An 1868 flood swept away houses. The end came in the 1889 deluge that also caused the Johnstown flood. Richard H. Lansdale, a grandson of Thomas and future miller, recalled walking as a child away from the wrecked town with a pillow under one arm and a chicken under the other. Today Triadelphia’s foundations slumber beneath the reservoir that bears its name. Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm lens. Post processing included Photoshop and hdr in Photomatix then back to Photoshop for slight Orton.

Let’s Get Together Love is but a song I sing / fear’s the way we die / you can make mountains ring / or make the angels cry / though the bird is on the wing / and you may not know why. C’mon people, now, smile on your brother / everybody get together / try to love one another right now. Some may come and some may go / we shall surely pass / when The One that left us here / returns for us at last / we are but a moment’s sunlight / fading in the grass. C’mon people, now, smile on your brother / everybody get together / try to love one another right now. C’mon people, now, smile on your brother / everybody get together / try to love one another right now. If you hear the song I sing / you will understand / ... listen … / you hold the key to love and fear / all in your tremblin’ hand / just one key unlocks them both / it’s there at your command. C’mon people now, smile on your brother / everytbody get together / try to love one another right now … C’mon people now, smile on your brother / everytbody get together / try to love one another right now … ... I said … / c’mon people now, smile on your brother / everytbody get together / try to love one another right now Right now / Right now … ... The Youngbloods … Let’s Get Together
