This photo reminded me of Robert Frost’s most famous poem:
The Road not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves, no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I hope you are enjoying your path. 🙂
Perfect!
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful pictures to go with a beautiful poem. Enjoy the yellow wood while you can.
Thank you! 🙂 I have been enjoying it; yes, it won’t last long.
stunning photos and beautiful poem!!
Thank you very much. 🙂
so beautiful poetry!
Thank you. 🙂 Robert Frost was a poet of great depth, in my opinion.
Love the photo as well as the methapore.
Thank you! 🙂 I love how this poem communicates the idea that no matter what path we take, we feel we have to justify it.
That is so true! Though it is always worth it in the end.
Thanks for sharing, Lynette. A timely reminder of the poet’s strengths.
Hi Stuart, good you see you. I hope you had a good break.
Yes, he had many strengths. He apparently found his feet (so to speak) while living in UK.
Thanks, Lynette. We had a ‘different’ break: I’ll be posting a short series on the blog soon.
Years since I read Robert Frost; it was good to be reminded.
Beautiful pictures! Nice time to reread Frost, too.
Thank you. 🙂 I love his work.
