Fall is in the Air

The greatest place to begin any fall season is in the midwest. 

 I adore the old farms and the excessive amount of trees that all have leaves changing to a full spectrum of colors.

Not to mention the flowers and other fall foliage. 

Fall has the crisp mornings and the perfect weather for bonfires and outdoor activities. Oh and the amazing drinks and baked goods! What a great season! 

Aluminum Reflections

The other day I was doing a fairly common task of feeding the dogs. When much to my surprise I was reminded of Edward Weston's green pepper photos. I grabbed my phone and snapped a photo of the great refractions of light and thought I'd share. 

It's those little things in life that make it great. We just need to keep our eyes open, because they come when we least expect it... even when we are feeding the dogs. 

Frosting Days and Unbelievable Sunrises

It's been a frosty winter full of snow and cold weather. With each passing day the desire for me to trade in my front wheel drive car for any four wheel drive vehicle increases. Apart from the snow drifts, icy roads, tire chains, and tow ropes there is beauty beyond compare. It is kind of fun living in a winter wonderland every now and then... 

A small explanation of the above photo: my grandpa's cows like to rub on the barbed wire for a good scratch. Hair gets onto the wire, just like any of our hairbrushes. The cool thing about this is that it looks about three hundred times cooler when it frosts over.
