Getting Lost On Purpose ~ Escaping The Winter Blues
Every so often I get in the car, just me and my camera, and I hit the road with no destination in mind. I stop at some favorite spots, such as the old tree in the prairie which I have photographed a hundred times because it has gesture and speaks to me. Soon after, the sky starts clearing, and I notice a fence running across the tundra-like landscape like a wound. I decide to make a turn on a snow covered dirt road in search of new treasures when an old car greets me from the top of a snowbank. The light on my dashboard goes on, warning me to refuel. It’s time to find my way back home. I stop one more time to shoot a splash of color at a nearby farm. I feel like a kid on a treasure hunt.
Love them and look forward to your photo ‘s at my email door!
Thank you Valerie. I too felt like a kid following you. That car is a treasure, saying hello to you. elegant horses too.
Hi Valerie!
Love your photography! I really enjoy the fact that when you shoot in the country it is usually in my neighborhood!
love the minimalist theme, especially the third photo.

I’ve set a link to you there …
très jolie série … pourtant c’est difficile la photo de neige ! j’adore… !
je te souhaite le meilleur pour 2013 : as you say : happy, healthy, and wealthy !
These are fabulous! Happy New Year! I just love those kind of outings!
Wow, you’re so good on taking the basics…and finding the most minimal way of expressing them. Luv the 2nd-from-the-top image…perhaps as “countryside-minimal” as one could get
And I like your header – “Getting Lost on Purpose…” Reminds me of my fav jazz singer/trumperter Chet Baker and one of his signature songs “Let’s Get Lost”…
Gosh !You have a great eye. I enjoy seeing your photos, From the simple scene to the crowded streets you bring them alive. Thanks for sharing. Have A Guid New Year xxx
These are wonderful. What a grand perspective of the rural. That old car, the bright red barn, the fence that never ends. Just wonderful.
I have found myself doing this on occasion. It’s good for the soul just to get out by yourself and be creative! Although it’s difficult when you have two young children…
Beautiful photos. Very inspiring!
