This month I spent a week in Kentucky and Ohio where I was able to use
my GPS to keep me off the highways and onto
the back roads. There is nothing more enjoyable than driving along
at dusk and watching the fireflies! And if you remember, last month I created a color piece and asked if
you thought I should pursue color or stick with Black and White. Before I
tell you what everyone thought, I must show you what my fortune cookie

Five New Images ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  This month I spent several
days driving the back roads of Ohio. When the freeways were built in the
50's and 60', these roads were abandoned and became almost invisible to
the cross country traveller. This is beautiful farming country with green fields and tall corn. I drove through small towns where children still ride their bikes to the market to buy candy. Frequently I saw marks on the roads from the metal rims of Amish horse drawn wagons. But there is also something disturbing as you drive these back roads. The roads are eerily vacant and abandoned farm homes and barns are decaying at an alarming rate. Is this simply progress marching through the back roads of Ohio or is an important part of our heritage disappearing? | |
Colorado Cottonwoods in the Winter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  To me, there is nothing more
interesting or photogenic than Colorado's cottonwoods in the winter. They
are large, gnarled giants that look down upon us humans as if we were
ants. The world hurries by and they just watch. View
