Sharing the Bridge of Flowers…

What a great idea Antoinette Burnham had!  She saw an old trolley bridge that was no longer being used and had a vision.  She sparked the idea to turn the old bridge into the Bridge of Flowers.  The Shelburne Falls Women’s Club sponsored the project in 1928 and the rest, shall we say, is history.  In spite of the fact that flood waters spawned by Hurricane Irene engulfed the Bridge in 2011, it is blooming and beautiful.  Here are a few blooms that Carrie and I saw on our trip there last Friday.

And here’s a little aside.  Last week I posted some road pictures from our trip to Apalachicola, Florida.  Here’s one:

While in Buckland, Massachusetts, I saw this and it made me laugh:

But I actually know what they support in Buckland.  They support local farms.  What that truck supported, I don’t know.  Maybe they support local farms too.

  That would be a good thing.

Finding time for the Hunt…

This has been a busy week.  When I look back on it, I am not really sure why.  But I haven’t had much time to spend in Blogland.  However, I did manage to get out and take quite a few photos so I have submissions for this week’s Scavenger Hunt.  The prompts this week are:  Walking, Yummy in my Tummy, Favorite Toy, What I did this week and Anything.

On Friday this week I went with my daughter Carrie to Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts to check out the Bridge of Flowers.  The Bridge of Flowers is an old trolley bridge over the Deerfield River that connects the towns of Shelburne Falls and Buckland.  Since the late 1920s, the bridge has been planted with flowers making it a very pleasant way to cross from one town to the other.  Carrie and I had a wonderful time WALKING across the bridge even though the flowers aren’t out in full swing yet.  It was still very beautiful.

Once on the Buckland side of the river, we walked on until we found a place to have a little ice cream.  Here’s my new favorite flavor, Caramel Moose Tracks.  It is YUMMY TO MY TUMMY!

My FAVORITE TOY is my Nikon D90.  Duh!

One of the things I DID THIS WEEK, I have mentioned already.  I went out to Shelburne Falls with my daughter to the Bridge of Flowers.  Here’s a view of it from the car bridge that stands next to it.

On the Buckland side of the river while we were walking along, I noticed a door that had the number 42 on it.  If you are a Douglas Adams fan, you know that 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything.  That’s my ANYTHING!
