Wow what a first few weeks of March this year…was hoping I could simply coast down to the first days of my vacation this year, but from stress at work to changing weather and more fire calls, it just wasn`t meant to be I guess. Have to say though, there were some pretty sunsets along the way and the snow turned out to be fluffy and beautiful, as you can see in some of the images down below the sunsets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and I also like the sunset I photographed up on our new Elmont Road Bridge over I-44 recently….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Elmont<\/a><\/p>\n

…I usually place it in my images from a distance and silhouette it, but in this case, it looked so good in the rearview mirror, I turned around and parked up on the shoulder and got out to shoot it…I hate shooting through the windshield unless absolutely necessary…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The farmpond I shoot at alot, is a great reflection pool and there is a nice tree off to the side that silhouettes well too…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Farmpond<\/a><\/p>\n

and framed right, you can include the reflection of the tree in the water as well…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Farmpond<\/a><\/p>\n

and just out of sight, the water is just like a mirror for the sky and God`s canvas…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Farmpond<\/a><\/p>\n

and right down the road is a great Powerline that makes yet another great silhouette subject for sunsets…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

and this set of trees is nearby with horses in the field below them…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…and then we come to the beauty of snow…a wet snow more than anything else…I dropped Missy off last week at the Beauty Shop with Sandy taking good care of her and took a spin around town to capture these images of the fluffy unexpected snow…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Bacon<\/a><\/p>\n

…capturing these sentinels along Bacon Ridge Road first…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Trees<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

..and these trees in a field at the east end of Sullivan….racking my brain on where to find a nice old barn to photograph…a wood sided barn mind you, they have much more character than their metal counterparts…and finally remembered where one was, so I headed that direction….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

…these trees along a curve on Old Springbluff Road…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

…and these trees on Seminary Road….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

…and as I drove down the road, the biggest snowflakes I have seen in some time, started coming down hard and fast…flakes as big as my hands…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Wright<\/a><\/p>\n

..and there it was, looking very comfortable in the snow covered field…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Wright<\/a><\/p>\n

…had this been Christmas time, I would have been reminded of the Walton Shows on tv, where rural scenes always give you a warm and fuzzy feeling….I headed back toward town and crossed Boone Creek…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

..and turned down Ernie Road where I found this neat looking creek crossing…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

..and down WW to Ehrhardt Road….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

…and then turned down Landon Road to check out the farmpond that I frequently shoot the sunsets at…and found another beautiful scene awaiting me….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Late<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…fluffy snow like this can take the most bland looking winter scene and turn it into a Christmas Card.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
