I was out driving around looking for something to take photos of and came across this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do/did.

You gotta love this guy’s imagination. I must admit, this is new to me.

It’s amazing what one little old button can do to a photograph. Wild, but I kind of like it.

I’ve started a new photographic blog and you’re all invited to join in for the fun. This blog is about preserving a way of life that is fast becoming extinct: the family farm.

I’ve just posted my first posting and invite you all to participate. You may find my new blog at: https://barnsbarnsbarns.wordpress.com/

I hope to see you there. I’d love this to be a repository for all things old with respect to family farming, not just buildings.

I was walking out in the field on my daughter’s property looking for something to photograph earlier this year. I came across this little bit of color in an otherwise somewhat dreary landscape. It had not yet turned Spring. I don’t know what this plant is called; I just call it Chinese Lanterns. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

If you’ve never seen a horse sunset, well, here’s one for you—my neighbor’s horse, who happens to be my daughter—the neighbor, not the horse. 🙂

Every once in awhile I like to take photographs of spacial things, if that’s the right word—things with lines, angles, that sort of thing.

I pass by this fence every day at least once. It’s always been intriguing to me. One day I brought my camera with me to see what I could do.

What I wound up with seems to fit this week’s photo challenge, so here it is. I hope you like it.

I didn’t think much when I took this photograph until later when I went through the batch of which it was part. I had to smile. It was certainly a surprise to see that head floating there with no body. I hope you enjoy it.

Here are a few photos I took earlier this year while out looking for things to photograph. I hope you like them. Feel free to LIKE them. Hee. Hee.

Here’s a couple of shots of a creek a few miles away from my home. Don’t know why I took them—just playing around.

Here’s a shot of the same creek in the opposite direction. Notice the little dinosaur sticking its head up on the left, central portion of the photograph.

I’m a semi-fan of impressionistic art, depending on who the artist is, such as Money, I mean, Monet, Manet, Renoir, and so forth. Obviously, the impressionism here is in the reflection, not on the land . . . but I knew you knew that.

Personally, I think people went into impressionism because 1) they needed glasses and saw everything blurry and fuzzy; and/or 2) they couldn’t draw faces very well.

It is said that some people don’t know the end from the beginning. That’s not the case with this toadstool, which found its new beginning in the ending—the ending being a cow pie from the end of a cow.

Beauty is where you find it and sometimes you find beauty in places where you would least likely expect to find it. There’s no telling what one may find while wandering around in a field with a camera hung around one’s neck.

Sometimes you get lucky. Other times you make your luck. Such is true for life itself.
