town square ~ new england style









One of my favorite things about New England?
The beautiful, white churches that stand 
{old and proud}
in the center of so many of our towns.
In the summer the steeples glisten against the bright, blue skies.
In the fall, the steeples seem to be nesting in the colorful leaves.

I pass by this church almost every day.
This time of year the trees on the town green are
adorned with pretty lights.
And the steeple towers above, lit against the night sky.
Something about this sight
helps me to know I'm home.

  6. I too love church steeples. They stir my soul. I just thought wouldn't it be awesome to drive around and capture images of different steeples and in different seasons? That could be an awesome photo display. :)

  8. Adrienne, this is gorgeous! LOVE it in b/w. And you're right; we don't really have anything comparable to these lovely church steeples in the Northwest. So happy you linked up this week!
