The Grand Old Lady Collage by olivetreeann

The Grand Old Lady Collage

One last look at the Grand Old Lady and a few of the shots that didn't get into the essays. From top left to bottom right: A view up the driveway to "Betty", "Buster's" sister; An open door on the back of the Grand Old Lady; the driveway; cupola with weather vane that bears the name "James"; side view of the silos; a peek into Betty's upstairs; shadow of the photographer; and the old farmhouse. There's still a million more photos here and two unphotographed seasons (Summer and Fall- and Spring deserves to be revisited as well), so you can be sure I'll stop here again! But for now, the Lady and I bid you a fond farewell.
Great way to end this series
