Take It

"Enjoy the best-kept secret around- the ordinary, everyday landscape that rewards any explorer...all of it is free for the taking, for the taking in. Take it. Take it in, take in more every week-end, every day, and quickly it becomes the theater that intrigues, relaxes, fascinates, seduces and above all expands any mind focused on it."  -John Stilgoe, from "Outside Lies Magic""

This lone swing was very inviting.
