Barn, Blackberries Vines and a Roll of wire

I didn't notice the little roll of wire hanging from the fence when I took this shot. Now I love it. I think it adds more character to the picture.

The Gate

Mandy from Mandy’s Meanderings honored me by writing some lovely words to go with this photo. Thanks Mandy

So much for the rule of thirds. I tried several ways to crop this so the gate part wasn't right in the center but it just didn't work any other way.

Barn on Dairy Loop Road - 50th barn

Today was perfect picture taking weather, so I went on an Old-Barn Safari this morning. I keep thinking I must already have photos of all the barns in the county but I seem to find more when I go searching. I found this one on Dairy Loop Road near a little community called Lookingglass not far from here. I love the tall grass and the fence.

I'm off to an energy conference in Portland for a few days. I'll be back Wed evening. I'm taking my laptop from work but I don't know if I'll be able to get anything posted.



I just noticed that this is my 50th barn post since my first post to my blog in Dec 2005. Do you think I'm obsessed?

I also noticed how much I've learned through the years by striving to post the best photos I can. Your encouragement has made a huge difference. Thanks!

In A Portland Rose Garden

When I visited my friend, Darlene, in Portland, she took me to a beautiful garden called Peninsula Park Rose Garden. The roses were gorgeous. The entire park was fantastic.

Barbed Wire and Weeds

I tried some artsy stuff on this one. This is supposed to look like brush strokes.

A Country Gate

I liked the shadows in this shot.

I'm going to try to get some sleep quick so I can get up at 2am for the meteor shower. I'll catch up on commenting on your blogs tomorrow.

The Gate

A gate on a farm in Douglas County Oregon. Editing included a Photoshop plug-in filter called Monday Morning.

Mossy Fence

I love moss and I love fences so I like this shot pretty well. Another photo photoshopped into an "artsy" look.

Camas Valley Fog

I could never get tired of seeing foggy country scenes. This was taken near a tiny community in Oregon.. Camas Valley, the same community as Monday's fog shot.

Wild Flowers

My Internet was down last night so I'm late. This is yet another scene from my last weekend trip to Myrtle Point.

Fenced In

Still on the way to Crater Lake. This barn has an unusual shape and I liked the fence running along the field.

Barbs and Rust

Thistles In Fog

It was very foggy this morning.

The Look Out

I really like this fence and the grass around it. I like the crow but I don't like the fact that he is cut into with the horizon and I don't like the faded out water.
