The other day I drove down Gloucester's Hickory Fork Road for the first time in a month of Sundays.
The last time I was down this way, the main road ran right past this building and the pond.

Changes over the years have redirected traffic away from this particular spot.
Some people have had fun with all of the changes.

It's a pretty, graceful pond.
very pretty and so peaceful
ReplyDeleteLoved the osprey nest in the previous post. You are so lucky you can still burn stuff in your yard. Would love to be able to still do that these days here, guess it is fairly impractical in the suburbs and cities nowadays!
ReplyDeleteNice to be out and about taking photos of the local scenery. Hope I'll be able to do more of that soon.
Oh I'm sorry I forgot to tell you I move the pond sense you were last here!! Or is it here last ?? one of you English major please correct!! love that place...a little snaky for me!!!MM
ReplyDeleteYour great grandfather's sister Mary married the Haynes who owned the pond and ran the water mill. She lived there when it was a lovely quiet lane with nothing but trees and nature and a few homes. It was beautiful and so different from the present. Her son John, Mother's first cousin, ran the little store in your photo.
ReplyDeleteI remember going there about 10 years ago to get a scenic photo and had to run back to my car because I was being chased by an overprotective goose momma. Glad to hear that you weren't similarly assaulted.
ReplyDeleteit really is a lovely pond ....
ReplyDeleteWhere did the road used to go and why was it closed? Closed roads always intrigue me.
