A recent photo, but I wanted to make it look as if it had been in an attic trunk waiting for discovery.

I love elements of American typography. It’s like it’s caught in a time warp. Especially out here in the wild west.
I continue my love affair with US typography. Rosie’s Diner in the Colorado snow.
A friend and I road tripped through central South Dakota a few summers ago and got to chase this rainbow for about an hour down Highway 14. I pulled over to take this picture of the bow over a ripened wheat field with drops of rainwater still glistening on the points of the barbed wire fence.
‘Garden of the Gods’ is a wondrous ‘garden’ just out of downtown Colorado Springs. Known as ‘high desert’ Colorado Springs is nestled at the foot of Pike’s Peak, one of the many 14,000 foot mountains in Colorado. What’s bizarre is the fact this landscape spends most of the winter blanketed by snow, yet when the snow melts, much of it is dry and desert like. Colorado Springs is at around 9000 feet, so the air is clear but thin. This particular rock formation is called ‘The Prayer’ for obvious reasons. It’s an amazing place.
This landscape rose up before us on our way toward Lusk, Wyoming. The full moon was spectacular and when we came over a hill on the highway I saw this bluff and begged my husband to pull over so I could take a few pictures. Because it was nearly dark – of course – I needed to use my tripod and where we stopped was not exactly out of the way of traffic. My first attempt at taking the picture was foiled by the flashing hazard lights on our suburban. I thought my husband would lose it when I asked if he could please turn the lights of the truck off completely for a few seconds but he patiently complied and this was the resulting image. /
A haystack in a dusty field on an early September day in the early evening. Actually, the stripped bark of a tree.

taken off the back of our train somewhere through the plains of USA… Leaving It All Behind I’m leaving on the next train to freedom / Your heart has kept me captive for too long / You think that I won’t leave until you tell me / so before I go I’m writing you this song. We spent years building up this friendship / but you know I built it mostly by myself / You didn’t care enough to help but I loved you / Now it’s time to put it on the shelf. I want to leave you far behind me / to get you out of heart and mind / I may be the best you’ll ever have / but you won’t be the best I’ll ever find. You made sure to give less than expected / so I would have nothing I might repay / You told me that I owe you nothing / but then you stand there begging me to stay. I’m leaving on the next train to freedom / Your heart has kept me captive for too long. / You think I can’t leave until you let me / As in so, so many ways, my love,... you are wrong. by Rachel Leigh

I drive by this windmill almost every day, twice a day, on my 40 mile commute to work in southwest Iowa. I kept waiting for the background and the lighting to be just right. I think today was it. This had some post processing in Photoshop. A little tweak to the color and contrast, but this is pretty much what I saw today with the setting sun hitting the blades of the windmill and bare cornfield. / Canon EOS 10D / EF-S 18-55 / 1/80 at f16 / ISO 200
Even the Midwest can seem exotic at times. It may appear to be a shot of an African safari, but in reality, it’s just a few trees at the edge of our high school parking lot. Thanks for viewing!

This is Geronimo, my neighbor. Taken just behind the house last winter when we moved here from town. And WHAT a view! Although it was snowing when I took this, snow effects are added… as are Night Effects. I took this by daylight. Geronimo has since moved away but there are many other horses on the ranch. Doc, his father, has this paddock now. Featured in AMERICAS – Rural, Urban, Wild, Free Featured in PHOTO MANIPULATORS Featured in SIMPLY HORSES
