Monday's Country Back Roads....Over the Bridge

 
It has been awhile since I have found a new spot to travel down...not knowing where it leads.
 
 
The rustic red rafters, of the bridge, caught my eye, before I saw the narrow road.
 
 
I pulled over, in the grass, to see what might be under the small bridge.
 
There is a large ravine, that probably fills with water when it rains.
 
 
Looking down the road, you can see the sharp right turn.
 
It's certainly not a famous bridge, with centuries of history. Standing there, in the quiet of the country, it reminded me of a poem by Emily Dickinson.
 
"Faith.... is the Pierless Bridge supporting what we see unto the scene that we do not".
 
Happy Monday!
Meggie

  2. I love those lines from Emily Dickinson. Kelly gave me a treasured book of her poems that brings me comfort; she probably knew they would. She actually attending Mount Holyoke, where both my girls graduated from. I love the bridge, but moreover, I love your thoughts, XOXO

    1. There is a lot of in-between-the-line thoughts, when I think about bridges. I actually walked across this one, and then, back to my truck.

  8. That's a curiously intriguing sequence - like it's the beginning of something new and you don't know where it's going to take you. Loved your recent series on Skye too - lovely shots. Thanks for your comments on A Bit About Britain!
