An Almost Wordless Wednesday Kathy Style :)

"Beneath all is the land".....the beginning words of Real Estate.  I sell land, and love to sell it.  The peaceful nature of land in the middle of no where reminds me of where everything started before we urbanized it.  Whether it's parched from the desert sun, or muddy from the rain, I walk it. Sitting in the cool shade of an old Oak on a piece of land, or looking for rocks in the blazing sun.....I love walking the land....so for me, "Beneath all is the land" can be changed to "On top of the land dreams can come true."

Land after the rain

We could use a bit of that rain water in our area Kathy. Very dry. Cool picture there.

Hi Kathy...hmmmm, maybe a new group is emerging "Wordy Wednesdays"  Great job with the photo, very creative.  I get the same feeling when I'm out with my camera as you do walking the land (with your camera)  I'll take any form of peace I can get, it's a theme for 2009...that, and "If it's not fun, I'm not doing it"....LOL

Kathy - I must admit, I did not see the clouds and now that you've mentioned it, no wonder your words were so beautiful. :)

I understand completely. 

I love homes.  I love to sell them and see families move into them. 

Perhaps because my family was poor and we never had a home when I was a child.  I've had a love affair with real estate for many years.

Ah...love how you ground the principle that undergirds what we do in this profession called real estate.  Good thoughts...for one who grew up surrounded by untamed countryside, I understand.

I'll never forget first walking the piece of land where I now live. Thanks for the opportunity to think about it for a moment.

Happy Easter Kathy :) Personally, I like to sell the big pieces of land. In Bellingham we have some pretty cool acreage. It is not uncommon to find 40 or 80 acres of forest land.
