Taken inside an historical turn-of-the-century home at Ft. Bridger, Montana. The way the light from the window illuminated the bottle on the table was just too much for me to resist :-) To me, it was reminiscent of the Dutch masters.

I was traveling each day between Albury and my son’s farm at Wymah, while attending APSCON, and noticed this little chapel erected in memory of the pioneers. Anyway I could not resist the temptation for a couple of shots when the rain clouds followed me up the highway. The purple is my favourite flower…..... NOT! We call it “Salvation Jane”, most call it correctly – Paterson’s Curse. The chapel is just short of a place called Bowna, NSW, Australia

B&W of Carter Shields cabin located in the Cades Cove area of the Smoky Mountains

Sepia Toned of a previous…Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…..The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants…..Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations.These fences are sometimes refered to as Worm Fence due to the back and forth placements…This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

Featured in Rural around the Globe – Jan. 31, 2009 With a gentle nudge from my dear mother, and some awesome girlfriends I decided to load my first attempt with an HDR image. The original image of this old building and pioneer wagon was taken at the Ameliasburgh Historical Museum in Amelisasburgh, Ontario. The Ameliasburgh Historical Museum has grown from one building, in 1968, to a full pioneer village. For more information about this wonderful museum please feel free to visit the Prince Edward County Website This work of art was completed using Corel Painter X and Photoshop. / / Fine Art Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

For an online painting-challenge, we where asked to make an image that would represent Australia! / It interested me, but did not know exactly how I would do it! / I ended up on the site of a couple of Globetrotters! http://www.bourlingueurs.com/ / I scrutinized their photos and found 2 who appealed me very much! / One of Ayers Rock , and one of a crashed car in the middle of the dessert! / I melted them together to one photo! / Mark warned me that I painted “Kata Tjuta” instead of “Ayers Rock”! The representation of this mountain and that derelict car described in my mind how I see Australia! / Beautiful nature and heritage nurtured by the Aboriginals, and the car representing the pioneers, adventurers and technology trying to find its place in that great big continent! It’s a watercolor-painting / 30cm x 21cm / 300g

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery The Magic of the Forest Floor Goblin Forest Walk, The Blue Tier, North East Highlands National Park, Tasmania, Australia. As Is – Straight from the Camera The_Blue_Tier The Blue Tier has been the home to thousands of people who have lived, worked and died on the mountain. Tin was the reason the early pioneers came here. The tin lay in heaps behind rocks and in the creek and river beds. All the miners had to do was bag the ore up. / In their search for the tin-bearing rock, these early pioneers burnt most of the temperate rainforest which existed above the 600 metre level. When the mines were finished, the farmers over-grazed the grass areas which followed the burning, eventually the mosses took over. / Since the last grazing, around 1970, the mountain and its native animals have been successful in aiding the regeneration of the temperate rainforest. What you see today is the continuing struggle of the rainforest trying to return. / To appreciate the extent of the regeneration it is necessary to visit the various areas by following the well-defined walking tracks on the mountain. There are bogs, grassland, pure rainforest, regenerated rainforest, tea-tree swamps and areas dominated by celery top pine. Canon PowerShot A650 IS Shutter Speed: 1/60sec / Aperture: F4.8 / ISO: 320

The day previous to this shot I was at the same location but a few minutes earlier. There were more cattle on the horizon and I was able to get some shots with the sun peeking through the gaps in the logs. However, when shots are lost, there’s not much to do but carry on, right? Luckily the photography Gods were nice about giving me some good sunset colours for the second shooting. / The barn dates back to the 1930s, designed for storing loose hay because balers were still many years away. The overhang at the peak of the roof is for the pulley system to run along a rail to carry hay inside. Horses were used to pull the ropes that lifted and transported the hay. This barn was probably about two logs taller than what you see now, since the bottom logs have rotted into the ground. The ends of the logs show the axe marks that cut them down… no chainsaws back then. I couldn’t quite read the label, but I’m guessing this barn is past its “best before” date :) / Ted

My research of covered wagons has identified this as a chuck wagon. It was half rain, half snow as I was taking the picture so it was not hard to imagine the hardships of being on the trail driving that wagon. One can see the weary cowboys relief when this wagon came in sight after a long day in the saddle. Located on Highway 14, Alberta. / Charles Goodnight is credited with inventing the chuck wagon. In 1866 he and his partner, Oliver Loving, made preparations to take a herd of 2,000 longhorn cattle from near fort Belknap in northern Texas, to Denver. Goodnight purchased a government wagon and had it completely rebuilt according to his specifications in seasoned bois d’arc, the toughest wood available. / The distinguishing feature of the wagon was the sloping box on the rear with hinged lid that lowered to become a cook’s worktable. The box was fitted to the width of the wagon and contained shelves and drawers for holding food and utensils. To the cowboys, “chuck” was food, so the box was called a chuck box and the wagon became known as a chuck wagon. / Goodnight’s early prototype of the chuck wagon was copied widely and changed little in the years to follow. / Most chuck wagons had the same basic design. They were large, sturdy, four-wheeled wagons with bows across the top covered with waterproof sheets. There was usually a cowhide stretched beneath the wagon bed and fastened at the corners; it was used to carry wood or cow chips. In the front of some of the wagons was a jockey box, which was used for storing tools and heavier equipment needed on the trail.

Champoeg Pioneer Cemetery St. Paul Oregon. My son actually pointed the rainbow out to me…as I was oblivious to it…My camera ran out of batteries after this shot. By the time I got the new ones in…it was gone. So all I have is a sort of blurry rainbow pic. But I still love it:)
