Green Town, Ohio

...inspired by 'Dandelion Wine' by Ray Bradbury Green Town, Ohio, where memories congregate, sneakers and time machines, grandmas and goodies; leaping tall buildings and smelling the fresh cut grass, junebugs and crickets compete as the best; sparklers and firecrackers fizzle for dominance, lighting our path through the warm summer nights; holding hands, tentative, feeling the moment, you can't put a price on such innocent bliss; Jimmy and Emily out by the old oak fence, sharing those memories sealed with a kiss.

Very nice and nostalgic. I see white picket fences and neighbors talking on cool nights.

You capture the delicate serenity of a peaceful rural community. (They drink "Dandelion Wine" on As the World Turns.) Your images are lively and playful. Nice work, Keith!
