This is more inviting:


Whaaaaa?  Well, it is not as it seems.  Pier-less, yes, but the water here was so shallow, that one would not get wet above the knees to get to this dock.  Gives "Stranded on an Island"  a whole different meaning!

Or there is always one of my favorite places, near a barn:

Love how you collect and group your photos to tell a story! I couldn't help but notice all of that white, and then the charming paint details along the porch fronts. I definitely want to come n set a spell on a number of those porches!
