Catawba County, North Carolina

 Early morning on Rock Barn Golf Course
Hole #1

 Walking to the old covered bridge
just outside Conover.


  

Bunker Hill Covered Bridge 
Erected 1894, Covered 1900
Across Lyle's Creek on Old Island Ford Road
Catawba County, North Carolina

 




 Afternoon at Rock Barn Golf Course
Golf course covered bridge
much newer than Bunker Hill Covered Bridge

Mother duck with ducklings


 Nice fairway


 Mallard paddling along the stream.



 Horses along the roadside.
Totally oblivious to passing vehicles.

Thanks ellen, JJ ! steven. It was a nice area... so lush & green with wildflowers in the fields. It was such a difference from my & ellen's part of the country due to the drought we are experiencing.

Are your trying to escape the Texas heat and drought? These pictures are just divine. I love the palette of colors.

Thanks so much, Lizzy, for your book suggestions. I've read and enjoyed all of these books. I'm definitely including A Wrinkle in Time on the Book Club list, and I may do Holes in my 12 year old class.
