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.
Even had piped-in music!!
Cousins playing with swing!
The man thing I was doing was trying out the camera on my new phone!
My friend John reading while the women shop and I take photos in this thrift store!
I saw these animals beside the trail I frequently walk. White-tailed Deer fawns and a Cottontail Rabbit.

These photos are mine
They are somewhat similar
As I look at them
I missed National Photography day on the 19th, so I decided to post these photos in recognition of that day, and write the Haiku in recognition of National Poets Day. Maybe I was distracted on National Photography day since it was also my birthday! Maybe they also struck me as similar because both of their cultures are very conservative.
The trout, minnows and base were all carved out of one piece of wood by a carver from the Geppetto Woodcarvers club in Parkersburg, WV!
These are friends of mine who are also members of a carving club at the Wilderness Center in Wilmot, OH.
Fan under the umbrella amused when I stopped and took a photo of the duet!
I finished carving this cowboy from a rough-out, and painting it this week. I painted the carving with acrylic paints, and then sprayed with a coat of shellac.
