American Gothic by Grant Wood an Iowa painter! Being from Iowa I love the painting and at this
Farm & Science Review they gave people the opportunity to frame their faces with this painting! I found two helpful young girls to take my photo. One to take the photograph, and one (Savannah) to pose with me! Fun times.
The cowboy is not riding a horse, and the rifle was not to ward off cattle rustlers but likely to finish off an unsuspecting Ground Hog! In the backroads of our county some of the farms the barns are across the road from the cow pasture! Therefore after milking time they need to cross the road. I decided to take advantage of this and take some photos.
I was privileged to get acquainted with these two, at the company that I am a sales rep for. The gal quit work, and by that weekend they were dating. He has since taken a new job! Blessings!
Getting used to my new mirrorless camera (Sony ZV-E10). I was parked on the road trying to capture a photo of this wild turkey that was crossing the road, and then trying to get over a fence. So it goes.
On this day I enjoyed the many sightings of birds and animals. A sandhill crane out in a farmer’s field, this turkey crossing the road, and on three occasions deer standing beside the road watching me go by. I stayed with this family, who had Baltimore Orioles coming to their feeder, like I have house finches, and goldfinch coming to mine! In the evening we strolled down to a large pond and caught a mess of crappies, and bluegills, which were enjoyed the next morning at breakfast! Their little boy is around 9 months old! This all happened on my two day, 1,000 mile trip into Michigan this week.
