✨I’m Laura — photographer, storyteller, and preservationist.
I document forgotten Americana — the homes, ghost towns, and cemeteries that still breathe with quiet history.
Follow along and share the quiet proof of life they left behind. 📸

Got a handful of negative comments on this one, so I edited it to please the Karens. 😆
They wanted to make sure I knew stacked stones are illegal (we didn’t stack them) and that I should be wearing sunscreen, completely missing the point of the video.
Which version do you like better?

I’m new to the world of arthritis, so any pro-tips from you older folks with achey bits and bobs is appreciated.
Biofreeze does not, in fact, “cool the pain”.

If ever I can’t find my husband, it’s always a good idea to look on the roof of the house or the garage first. 😆

For any Albannach fans, I just read that Jamesie is retiring from the band.
I took my daughters to see them last fall in Statesville, NC at the hot air balloon festival and they put on such an amazing show! He will be missed. ❤️❤️❤️
