It was a beautiful day as I was experiencing it from my car window,,,,The skys were  so pretty and the clouds put on a great show for us as we drove.

Pretty soon the crops will all be picked and fall will be just around the corner. Soon you will smell the scent of leaves burning in the air.

Stay Well.  Stay Strong.

"Indiana Barn II"

Everywhere in Indiana there seems to be a barn somewhere waiting to be painted or to be captured in a painting.  I love to paint barns and rural scenes since I have photographed so many.  These structures are so exciting to me and I am fascinated thinking about what the life of a farmer is like.  Bet I couldn't survive one day.  They get up just when I am going to bed.  But I bet at the same time, they are wondering what it is like to be an artist.  

Stay Well.  Stay Strong,  Enjoy the rest of summer.

"Barn Reflections"

I took this photo on one of my barn photo shoots.  I used my artistic license and added the water in the foreground.  It's fun to make things up and be creative.  We call this composition and design.  Enjoy.

Stay Well.  Be strong.

It was a dramatic sky day when I took this photo....This is a grain elevator over some railroad tracks in Indiana.

Fall is just around the corner so we will be experiencing a whole new palette of colors and subjects...Fall is in the Air.

Stay We... Stay Strong.

During times like these, sometimes it is good to just escape.  What is your favorite way to escape?

Night Shift at the Pipe Mill

This is one of my favorite mill places to check out.  It's on the drive over to our favorite ice cream shop.  I love it in the summer because the doors to this mill shop are all open and you can see the men working inside (maybe women, too).  In front of this building is a crane that my husband helped to wire...He's a crane guy.  lol.

Stay well.  Stay strong.  Have a great weekend...this last great weekend of summer and enjoy a safe holiday.

While up in Chicago on one of my photo shoots, I came across a scene I have never seen before.  I will probably never find it again.  When i go up to Chicago or into the country to take photos,  never have a plan.  We just go where the car (and my hubby) wants to take us.  

This was a really cool spot and totally different to see...they sure were doing some recycling here.

Stay Well.  Stay Strong.
