Wow! Two days in a row!

This is now my opportunity to fill everyone in on July. But I promise it won't be overwhelming.

I was scouting out a location for a photo shoot with my friend Lynne (you'll see more of her soon) and we decided on the Grist Mill in Sudbury MA.

If you haven't been there, you need to go there. If you have been there, then go there again and just take a walk around and enjoy it again. It isn't all about the mill. There are paths and across the street is a chapel and the little red house where the song "Mary Had A Little Lamb" was created (I think). There are also more historic buildings around and while you're there, head on over to the Wayside Inn Country Store. I remember going there when I was little and buying little trinkets like you would do if you went far away on vacation, completely convinced you'd never find anything like it again.. Oh the joys of being little.

To be completely honest, I grew up around here and I feel like this place is somewhere that I have always been very very fond of. I love ever aspect of it, from the historical to the understated beauty, if you really look for it. Every time I visit I feel an overwhelming sense of calm come over me and then my creativity has a chance to take over. All in all, I love it there. I would do ever photo shoot there, but that may get a tad boring to see over and over again. (Although, in my mind, I have a few more shoots I would love to do there..)

The beautiful Grist Mill when you first walk down the path.

The side of the building.

There are little paths around and behind the mill.

I am in love with this tree. I love that every time i go there, it always has stumps in front of it, inviting you to stay a while.

This is the opposite direction down a different path. It leads you to water where you can sometimes see swans swimming. We saw a Blue Heron the last time we were there.

I love these types of fences. Just a slot and two narrow boards of wood. Simple beauty.

The door latch that looks like a face with it's tongue sticking out.

 I'll be back soon to post more adventures and photo shoots, but for now, enjoy today as if tomorrow will never come.
