So the second down I’ve chosen is down the road. I seem to take a lot of down the road shots: I have a whole series from our trip to California last summer, for example; I have more down the road shots from up on the farm. Country dirt roads are the perfect place for down the road shots.
The two I’ve decided to post are from travels, too. The first one below is from Hawaii. Several years ago, we held a family reunion in Hawaii where my sister Jeanne lives and while we were there, participated in a land blessing. Jeanne and Robert had finally finished clearing acres of tangled brush and were getting ready to build a retreat center. This shot is walking down the trail to the gulch where the mother stone sits. If you’ve been to my sister’s web site, www.hawaiiislandretreat.com, you know the place looks remarkably different now (and if you haven’t looked at her website, do! It’s a fabulous boutique hotel.).

That’s quite a little walk “down” the lane from Versailles to le Petit Trianon. I can only imagine Mme. Marie Antoinette arriving in a gilded carriage. You and Cliff are far more athletic!
While walking through the forest on another path, we saw a little rock bridge over a little stream with the overgrown path leading up toward the palace. THAT’S when I imagined Mme’s carriage coming down the hill. I liked her summer palace much better than Versailles. I expect she did too as she seemed to spend a lot of time there.
