Thanksgiving Weekend in Ohio

Bright Leaf

Shed

Vista

Thanksgiving in Ohio is always a wonderful family time, but it is fun to get out for a rural shoot, too. This year we had every weather type possible: rain on Thursday, sun on Friday and snow flurries on Saturday. Fortunately, it was Friday that was captured on film! More in the flickr photostream.

Farmers Markets

Hot Peppers

This morning's Post-Gazette had an up-to-date listing for this season's farmers markets. I am looking forward to vine ripened tomatoes with fresh basil and mozzarella and freshly grilled corn dripping with butter! Hmmmm - better kick up my jogging routine!! More shots in the flickr photostream.

Rural Ohio

Corn Stubble

Bluebird Box

Last week, I visited my son in Ohio. We traveled to Loudonville to see his friend who's family raises Angus beef cattle. They have a beautiful spot, lovingly tended. We traveled to Charm next to photograph some of the farming community. More of the day in the flickr photostream.

Iowa Corn Field and Silos

I just spent five great days on the road with my friend, Lynne, and her dog, Walker. We headed west to pick up another dog and saw the most wonderful countryside en route and back. It is amazing how much corn and soybeans are planted across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. The weather was perfect and the people were wonderful!
