The last couple of posts have been about barns, so I thought I would post one of my favorite barn photos. This is on Interstate 39 just north of Bloomington, Illinois. As I was driving on 39, I kept seeing these interesting barns and finally pulled over to photograph one. The sky and clouds wereContinue reading “Wheatfield”

Country Road
Simplistic structures like this make great subjects. A simple barn on the side of the road. I have to admit that that I use special software to make it look like a painting. I think I used a Van Gogh effect giving it that swirly brush look.
Old Barn
Our County has some beautiful areas, even during the winter. This is some farmland in the Northwestern part of St. Louis County. Beyond the trees in the Missouri River and yet another spectacular overlook. Click on the photo for a larger version and options to purchase a copy.
Late Fall in Minocqua
A few weeks ago, in Northern Wisconsin, leaves were still on the trees but snow was in the forecast. In this part of the country the lakes can freeze over for the whole winter. This old trestle was part of a network of railroads that allowed you to get in and out of Wisconsin’s GreatContinue reading “Late Fall in Minocqua”
Snowfall in Forest Park
Nice weather in St. Louis for Thanksgiving in St. Louis but winter is on its way! The snow here was falling pretty hard and the ducks did not have a chance to shake it off; a flap of the wings would have done the trick. This iconic scene is in the middle of St. Louis’Continue reading “Snowfall in Forest Park”
Hunt Master
Laura is holding these three hounds waiting for some others to catch up. The hunt this day was sparse as there were only a few scents to pickup. The hounds would eventually scour some fields down by the Missouri River before heading back up to the clubhouse and calling it a day. To get thisContinue reading “Hunt Master”
Country Road
A fall scene in Weldon Spring, Missouri. This area sits on bluffs above the Missouri River, just west of St. Louis County. The area provides space for equestrians and roving “foot pack” hunters with their Basset Hounds. Following the hounds through the woods and pastures can be a great way to spend a fall afternoon.
Pasture
I liked this scene with the fall color and the lone horse in the pasture. Probably trying to get the last good grass of the season. This photo was taken with a 300mm lens as the horse was not very close. The lens condenses the distance and beyond the horse is a large pasture withContinue reading “Pasture”
New Arrival
Meet the latest member of our family: Berick’s Lilly Blossom. This photo of Blossom was taken the day she arrived at the tender age of 9 weeks. You have to love the Basset names (all important for the breed) and their full AKC name. Blossom’s dad (Sire) is: Triple Hill Farm’s Mister Homer and momContinue reading “New Arrival”
Bandstand at the Muny
The bandstand in front of Forest Park’s Municipal Opera is a fun subject for photographers. Different states of the water, trees and skies can make it a unique subject every time I stop by. The bandstand was part of the St. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904 and survives today as part of the entry toContinue reading “Bandstand at the Muny”
