Rattlesnake Gutter

My Dad's apartment is empty now. All done - I handed in the keys. It wasn't as traumatic for me as I had expected. Just a lot of work. Sad though, that we won't be spending time with him there any more.

My friend decided I should get away and go for a ride. Good idea. Helped me not think too deeply that day...

So on Friday...we went to Franklyn County, Ma. We found a place of serenity to walk. I loved the sound of the brook flowing through.

It’s called Rattlesnake Gutter!!!! It seemed more like a gorge to me. Deep stone walls on one side with large rocks that had fallen down eons ago. My photos don't show the height of the rock walls. It would be a treacherous walk in the winter if it were icy because you could slide off the side of the road into the ravine or “Gutter!”  Moss covered trees and rocks and brown leaves gave the place a peaceful feeling.

  1. I gave up on my little slide show. It just wouldn't work for some reason.
