House and Bell

A two-story frame house with a steep front gable and a railed upper porch stands behind a flowering tree on Lake Claiborne, worn brick steps climbing to the door. In the foreground, a large cast-iron bell hangs from a post with decorative star bracing, ready to call across the water. Photographed in 1998, the image holds the homey, nostalgic warmth of life at the lake.
