The tin roof of the Enchanted Cottage and Scrapbook Store in Lewisville, North Carolina (Forsyth County). Deb Phillips, photographer.
While walking through Lewisville one morning, I noticed this striking scene. The sunlight’s angle and brilliance had created a fun abstraction. I love the lines, the colors and the contrast. Have you guessed it?

That’s right. It’s the tin roof of the Enchanted Cottage on Shallowford Road that’s the former Jennings home place. It’s located next to the mill building that’s now the primary home of the Enchanted Cottage.

Flowers at the former site of the Nissen House in Lewisville, North Carolina (Forsyth County). Deb Phillips, photographer.

The artist is the confidant of nature. Flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him. — François Auguste René Rodin

This flower is one of many gracefully adorning the Nissen House property.

Update on 3/18/09: The flower bed where this photo was taken no longer exists. The Nissen House was relocated about four months after this post, in order to make way for a new dentist office on the property.  If you’re looking for more Nissen House information, please check out all of the Nissen House articles featured on this website.

Shadows and light, shapes and lines. They converge and converse, and issue a silent invitation to behold their exquisite beauty.
