It Has Been Awhile....Stalking

How could I resist?  These  Amish Teens were on one of the side roads.  They saw us come over the hill and scrambled.  They were putting their cigarettes out and hiding their beer.  Some of the girls had their bonnets untied and thier hair down.  This is a common place for them to hang out and be teens. 


Spring is here....I hope

I usually don't go to crazy when I see a calf.  Around here you see a lot of them. Yes they are cute. But most don't really stand out to me. I was actually waved over to my cousins while passing by. Just to take shots of the new additions.  I fell in love with this little one with the heart on its head.  But that is not the only thing that set it apart from most.  I know this last shot is a snapshot but it shows the size difference in the two of them.  They were both born on the same day.  But look how tiny the one with the heart is.  Unfortunately I was in a hurry to get home after I took these and chit chatted for a bit.  Otherwise I could have had a shot of a new born...and I mean NEW  mommy angus was cleaning the brand new little bull up.

Two of My Favorite Things To Photograph

The weather is getting nice but the fire danger is really bad right now.  The fire department has been really busy.  Yesterday some friends house caught fire.  They stopped it and it rekindled last night and they lost it.  We went to see if they needed anything from us.  While we were there my husband got called to a Grass fire. We went when things were all done and they were clearing out.  Because of the cut backs on the DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) they had to call on other  departments.  This fire burned about four acres.  It was quite windy so it really pushed the fire.  (This is the part of the story that you that know me will get the title of this post) Now here are the  guilty parties.  One of them picked up a bunch of dried grass to see if it would burn.   Well he burned his hand a little and dropped it. Well he found out the hard way that yes it would burn.  When they left they walked down to the farm down the road for lunch and to wait for the elders.  I can't imagine that they will be very happy with them.  It almost burned down the neighbors house too.  Now my husband is out on another brush fire.

My synch shot....

I was driving to Bristol, TN the day of the shot.  We pulled over for a potty break and I was standing in front of the car when the timer went off.  We were out in the country and this is what I Popup Linksaw.   I looked up the hill and couldn't resist shooting Popup Linkthis.

Sean (my 6 yr. old) was yelling out the car window, "Mom, what the heck are you doin'?".  

I couldn't resist adding this photo.  We pulled off the interstate at the exit for Bristol.  I'm trying to read mapquest directions and not run myself off the road at the same time when I hear Sean say, "Mom!  Look!  It's the Statue of Liberty!".  
To which I reply, "That's in New York.  Now, shush, Mommy's trying to drive."  (Somehow silence is supposed to help me not be lost?)
Sean:  (Indignent) "Mooooooom.  It IS the Statue of Liberty!".  
Me:  "No it's not!  THAT Statue is located in ........Popup LinkOh...."

I was driving in town and decided to take an alternate route. I came across something I hadn't seen in the 10 years I've been here. With a quick jerk on the wheel, I quickly pulled over and spotted this.....Popup Linkblk/wht shed & tree Popup Linkcolor shed & tree Popup Linkblk/wht shed Popup Linkcolored shed I shot these in both black and white and color to give some variation.I'm thinking of doing a Lomo effect on these shots and post them at another time. I think it would be intense.Whatcha think??
