Farm Favorite

Description

Today is a big day for us - we're starting to move to a new-to-us house next door to our daughter (and yes, Jack's doing fine, but has to watch from the sidelines). One load has gone out already, and the "guys" will be back for a second soon. The really big stuff will go Friday and Saturday, but we'll be spending the night in the new digs tonight for the first time. So for today, I'm posting a photo that quite simply is a favorite of mine, for whatever reason -- I took it at the Mill Creek MetroFarm Park in Canfield, Ohio, in the fall. Today will be quite busy so doubt I'll be doing much commenting, but it just wouldn't be Wednesday without a Happy Hump Day to everyone!

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 80, FocalLength: 6.10 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot G10

I can see why this is a favorite for you Monnie. It's unusual texture against the blue skies and clouds make it a thoughtful composition. Here's wishing you and Jack many happy years in your new home! #9427400

Can see why this is a favorite of yours - I know you love the many shades of brown, as I do - super pov and wonderful color, Monnie! Wishing you and Jack much happiness in your new "pad"...and being on the sidelines in this case, isn't all that bad - am sure he's doing a fine job at overseeing damage control! :) All the best! #9427996

Nikki McDonald level-classic May 31, 2011

It's a lovely photo, Monnie -- I think you like the selective focus, which is very nice, or the pov which gives us just a hint of that beautiful farm beyond the dried blossoms. I like it too. #9436929

Chris Ebben June 01, 2011

A really beautiful image. So good to hear Jack is on the mend, & hope you enjoyed your 1st night in your new home, that will be something new to photograph.
