My Town in Three Photos - Possum Trot

by J.L. Salter
 
Taken with a phone camera, this slightly grainy shot features a full moon over my house up on what I call “Fossil Hill”.  That hill, in prehistory, was the bank of a significant river and we’ve found hundreds of fossils — both aquatic type and some unknown form of (land-grown) fruit.
 
 
A westerly autumn view from the bottom (currently dry) bed of “Disappearing Creek” which was – in prehistory – a raging river.
 
 
 The five acres of woods directly behind our house , the widest of the logging roads … during winter.

    1. Thanks, Lucie. It's such an improvement from where we lived for 26 yrs with neighbors eight feet to either side.

    1. wish we had a little pond. There used to be one over at my father-in-law's place (which he sold before he died), but it dried up.

  5. Actually Possum Trot is the name of the community around our home. But I didn't have any photos of any other feature of PT.
