Description


-----
The Main House at Cuttalossa Farm
---------
As I drove up the VERY RURAL Cuttalossa Road, the first hint that I was approaching the farm was the moss-covered sheep shed among the moss-covered tall dark trees, ahead of me on the right. After I rounded the bend, this house appeared on the left. It is a private road on which the owners reside.
---
A big orange cat and a magnificent black, white, and red rooster were conversing on the road, but I was not quick enough to capture the interaction.

************
If you have not read "Blue Ladies" by Joe DiGilio, you owe yourselves the treat. Just google "Blue Ladies Relentless Pursuit." You won't regret it. Trust me on this one, Please!

I'm in awe, Michelle, and it's partly because of your excellent skills in photography, reporting the story and your DDR abilities.

This is fantastically beautiful in every way! I am there with you and not every image can do this!
