    I spend a lot of time thinking about photography and very little time actually taking photos. Often while driving I see an old barn or a stately oak tree and I think about taking a picture. But I rarely get around to it.
    Recently I decided to take some of those photos I had been thinking about. Here is one of a dead tree that looks like an old woman with her hand on her hip.



    There is an old house I pass by often. I had hoped to photograph it when an oak tree behind it was in full fall color, but it didn't happen. So I used an HDR program to give it a "painterly" effect.




     A small town nearby suffers from a plague otherwise known as "road construction." Its citizens decided to make light of their plight with signs featuring those darned orange barrels.




    Many times I drove past this old house and wondered how best to photograph it.




    Finally I decided to take the grandbaby there.



    Honey Bunny convinced me that it looks better in black and white.
