It really did feel like a magical night. Friends joined us for the long walk through the woods and to the river at one of our favorite places. It was already nearly dark when we arrived on the beach. After lingering for a couple of hours, we walked the nearly two miles back in the dark. The moon was just bright enough that we could have gone without flashlights. I raced ahead so that I could stand on the trail in near silence and listen to the wind in the trees. I wondered if I would scare myself, being alone in the woods in the dark, but I wasn’t scared at all. It was just too peaceful, too beautiful: a perfect night.
My friend and midwife mentioned to me as we walked that she and her husband had been enjoying a show called “Call the Midwife.” We recalled that I gave her the book
Ah…I didn’t know their were books to read too! I loved “Call The Midwife”, but well…their was one episode that was a little too off for me. ;0)
I have missed you! Haven’t been in blogland for some weeks really – a trip to hospital and excessive terrariums making… your pictures tell such a story – I will come back to visit and read when I have time. Just wanted to send some love your way! God Bless xx
That does look like a magical night…you sure are brave!!
We just moved to Virginia this past year, but we’re in the mountains. Will definitely have to check out this park in the spring, thank you so much for the recommendation!
Peace,

Your photos are just beautiful Ginny! They have a real ‘otherworld’ quality to them, so lovely! Jules x
I watched call the midwife here in the UK – it’s really fun. And, happily, it keeps getting better 🙂
Beautiful pictures. Thanks for the link. I checked it out (as I love all things related to midwifery), and I am most certainly hooked!
I *knew* that was Caledon…a beautiful place. And definitely a magical night for all of you…just lovely.
I have yet to see it but I love the book. It holds a special place in my heart as the author was my piano teacher as a child. She was a totally wonderful woman in real life and introduced my to some amazing music.
The show was wonderful, but the books are even better! I am on the second now (it’s a trilogy), and I don’t want them to end!!
I love the show “call the midwife.” I’ll have to check out the book! And I love your night photos, what a beautiful evening.
My children and I loved “Call the Midwife”! We can’t wait for the next season to air in the US — not until next fall, I think. **wistful sigh** We all liked Chummy very much, but are also quite fond of the elderly nun who has dementia, and Jenny, the main character. So much to love about the series!
Such a great series! Chummy is completely charming!
I have the first episode downloaded for a time now, thanks for remembering me!
It indeed looked like a magical night! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful photos!! And I love call the midwife! My favorite!!
I’m loving “Call the Midwife” too! It wasn’t until I watched a couple episodes that I remembered I had read the book that the series is based on. Chummy is my favorite too, how could she not be? “Call the Midwife” is filling the void for my husband and I until the new season of “Downton Abbey” starts.
Oh yes, such a great book! I love all the social history, must watch the show.
Love walking out in the dark too, just as the sun is setting is best, such magic sights.
Magical, indeed! +JMJ+
Beautiful pictures! Enjoy “Call the Midwife”. Love that show!
amazing photographs. Glad you are enjoying Call the Midwife, new series coming soon
I loved Chummy too. When I watched the last available episode, I wanted more! Lovely evening.
I am loving that Call the Midwife!!!!
my girls and I watched all the episodes together – LOVED it!
your pictures are amazing as always.
Beautiful! Love call the midwife…I read the book years ago, and think the series does it justice!!
Wow, looking at those photos just gave me an immense sense of calm.
Thank you <3
Thank you for the link to the show! It looks really interesting to me! The pictures are lovely, and I am not sure how I would feel in the dark out in the middle of the woods…might have to try it sometime!
