I stopped by
Lindale on my way to
Tyler Texas, I was open to
what ever photographic opportunities presented themselves. My original idea was
to go to
Arkansas but there is a benefit in seeking out the obscure and less known
places.
I was surprised to find
Faulkner Park, a wonderful little
park with large east Texas pines and a pond full of Lillie pads. I watched as
families gathered to watch a soccer game, it was a beautiful park hidden off
highway 69 that I found just by exploring.
The next place I stopped, also in
Lindale, was the
Old MillPond Museum. It’s a very interesting place with very friendly people to greet
you as you go into the museum.
Inside the museum were treasures from yesteryear, old pots
and pans, musical instruments, a model T and a working mill. I was also given a tip on a great blue heron that hides at
the edge of the pond. I was able to get close pictures of him and the
surrounding scenery was quite beautiful.
Every corner was another place in time to explore with
artifacts of days gone by. The whole landscape is a museum of tractors and old
time tools that gives you a beautiful glimpse of what it might have been like
before our obsession with cellphones, apps and video games-a simpler time.
I am starting to do a series, finding the out of the way
places to explore. Museums, zoos and places you wouldn’t go out searching for
but are happy you found. Stay tuned, I am on a mission.
