Orphan Photos 6: Riverwood

After posting yesterday of our recent day trip to see Brain and the lavender, I remembered that I had put aside some old photos of Riverwood some time ago and just left them there awaiting a propitious moment. Riverwood, by the way, is what we called Brian's place back in the day because it has 130 mostly forested acres with a river running along the eastern property line.

I will just post them in the order that they appear in the folder.

Sue took this of me in 2016, roaming around with my Canon. Unless stated, all of these photos are from 2016.

Way back in 2011, I crawled up the ladder to the top level on the old barn (not the red barn that you saw yesterday). I am pretty sure that I re-edited it at some point a few years later and stashed it in the folder until now.

A panorama stitch of probably three images from as long ago as 2005 but re-edited more recently with more modern software. That long ago, we would sometimes sleep in that yellow tent down by the river (far left).

The house (I often call it a cottage) as we began to drive down the driveway. It has been re-sided blue now, but I didn't think to take a recent picture.

Inside, the living room was cozy at night. It also looks different 10 years later.

One evening, Brian and I shot the stars. I think I posted a number of such photos at the time but not this one, and I thought it was worthy of posting too.

A favourite picture of mine of Sue and Heather with Heather tossing spent milkweed remains at Sue.

This building was once a planer mill back in the days when they logged this area. When Brian refurbished it, he named after us with the planer becoming playner to suit our names. It was protectively screened from the insects, but those screens have fallen into disrepair now that the clan no longer gathers there. It makes me a bit sad.

This is the fence line in autumn. The road runs parallel to the fence off to the right. All of the trees in the distance are part of the property.

I posted many Riverwood photos over the years and probably most of these at some time, but having just revisited the place, I thought to share them again now before deleting them from that particular folder.
