Chance Encounter

July 14, 2008 – 11:18 pm

Anna and I are a million miles from civilization when we see this little pickup truck heading our way.  We turn into this drive to turn around and wait for the truck to pass only it stops.  Fellow wants to turn into the same exact spot.  What are the chances of that happening - I mean we are in the middle of no where?

Now to top that, the fellow says, “Hey I know you…”  The light bulb flashed as we all remembered each other.  After a short conversation we started to leave when it crossed my mind, “Hey, there is a picture here.”  I jumped out of our truck and approach him and ask if I could take his picture along with his pal.  He said, “Sure.”  You got to admit this is a picture.  This fellow has lots of character and is highly complimented with what appears to be a very devoted friend by his side.

Windmill of Time

July 14, 2008 – 10:48 am

Anna and I acquired most of our pictures within a 15 mile radius from where we live. Never in my life have I seen so much pretty. Then again I’m much older now and I tend to appreciate and see things I never noticed before. I don’t mean things like little green men getting out of circular airborne vehicles. However, if I ever do see these little guys I hope to have my camera nearby.

Creek Flow

July 14, 2008 – 7:18 am

Stopping down the shutter speed on the camera, the creek water was transformed into a smooth flow.

Creek Sunset

July 13, 2008 – 2:32 pm

I love creeks. I love creek scenes in every kind of weather and season. Creeks draw me and the water soothes me. I Zen out while around creeks. I have creek moments. Well, maybe you get the picture. As a photographer, I am working at becoming better capturing creek moods as I feel them. It will probably be a life long practice with files bulging with creek photographs.

Summer Sunset Farm Scene

July 13, 2008 – 9:13 am

Summer is deep in its various hues of green and insects galore. Before I had taken this photo, I had discovered a huge tick on my head. I thought the lump was a piece of dirt or something from wandering around in the thick of trees near a creek. When I yanked it loose and examined what had been stuck on my head, it moved. I realized instantly that it was a tick (with its tiny head intact and not in my scalp), and let out a piercing yell that resounded throughout the fields and hills. Dogs from the nearby farm ran out barking. I don’t like ticks. Ticks give me the creeps. I don’t know what happened to that blood sucking tick that had been on my head because I had wildly flung it off my finger. No telling what that tick thought flying through the air.

NEWHOLLAND HW320 Tractor

July 13, 2008 – 5:57 am

The contraption attached to the tractor is a grass cutter, lawnmower thing. I believe they call the contraption a Bushhog.

Why Not Own A Llama?

July 12, 2008 – 1:08 pm

So here is a Llama. Hmmm… you might wonder why folks might have a Llama. They are good pack animals and will do well if you like to hike and carry stuff, lots of stuff with you. They can be a guard animal, they will spit on the evil predators. Just like sheep, they will provide you with wool so you can knit yourself a Llama sweater for when it gets cool. Llamas are excellent fertilizer producers as well. With all these benifits you are probably wondering why you don’t own a Llama yourself. It is never too late.

Llama View

July 12, 2008 – 8:01 am

While out in the country searching for a creek (that we didn’t find), we came across Llamas grazing in a field. More like ripping the grass from its roots grazing. They were inquisitive animals and fun to watch and photograph.
