Pretty Local Views from a Past Year

Our daughter, Missy took these shots in our area in the year 2008. Back then she used her Canon PowerShot A520. She then got a new camera because that one malfunctioned. She got a Canon PowerShot A1200 - wore it out! Maybe Santa will bring her another this year.  I just thought you'd like to see our area in autumn of that year.

Every Day is a Treasure

The sun is shining and the colors of autumn are the best they’re going to get this year around this area.  We took a short ride, covering several very rural back roads after dropping off a large bag of donated hunting clothing in a neighboring town.  We were unfamiliar with this countryside but not with the beautiful views that I was able to capture. Getting a little lost was fun. We had enough gasoline and were on an adventure of the good sort!

A Ride in the Sun

It is a beautiful day! We took another ride through our countryside. One purpose was to visit a meat market that burned down and was completely rebuilt. It is about 23 miles from us and the ride was great.

On June 12, 2014 an early Thursday morning fire ripped through a landmark business that had been open for nearly four decades in our area. They have rebuilt and have been reopened since June 12, 2015!

You won’t believe all of the good things available. Take a peek at their Facebook page to see for yourself. 

Dotti-Lou Meats

This story is really about the ride, though. For an unknown reason, tumble down and vacant barns and structures draw me and I feel their past - there was once life and activity there - so, I take pictures. When wood ages it really becomes beautiful.
