Is there a place you go frequently up in the mountains, into the woods, along the shoreline, a park or a trail that speaks to you as you wonder about? Someplace special to you and only you? One of those places for me is the arboretum at Bernheim. And this constant that sits atop the garden pavilion is 'my' cupola and weathervane. I claim it as mine as every time I go to Bernheim it is sitting proudly on top of the garden pavilion, an octagon shaped building, which is home each Spring to many a new baby barn swallow. Each turn you make as you walk around the pavilion porch sports a barn swallow nest clinging tightly to the under eave. The cupola and weathervane with its beautiful rusted patina finish bares all weather events, good or bad. I can depend on it to greet me no matter the season. It stands proud holding court over one of my favorite places, Bernheim. So what is one of your favorite constants? Do tell. ENJOY!
PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTE: On this particular day, it was getting into afternoon with a beautiful blue sky and nary a cloud in it. The timing was oh so perfect to catch that beautiful warm afternoon light.
