I drove up to Synchronicity in Glen Arbor today to drop of my creative work for the summer season. Typically when I go on a trip, I take the most direct route home on the highway because I am notorious for getting lost. I took the back roads and boy are you all in for a treat. I got some great shots of Mid-Michigan farmland. In one of my coming posts I’ll give you some ideas for a beautiful drive.
The sky was so beautiful I had to go out and play with my camera. After patiently (and curiously) waiting for me to complete my picture taking, this sweet and beautiful horse was rewarded with a nice hay din-din.
Typically when I think of taking a picture of fruit trees, I think green leaves and fragrant blossoms or fruit. But not today. The shapes of the trees lined in formation against the blue sky and blazing sun caught my camera’s eye.
So I’m driving along on Sayles Avenue near Lowell (see previous post for Google link) and see this old, old farm. It almost looked abandoned, but I think someone still lives here. I had to walk through a field to get this angle and am always a little nervous when I do that in case the owners have a dog that hates intruders. Fortunately, I got my shot without a problem. The place kind of has a haunted feeling about it and after I took this photo, I noticed there is a glow over the white barn. I’m sure it’s just a lens flare but I think it’s cool.
There’s beautiful farmland everywhere you look in the Sayles Avenue area of Lowell. Here’s a photo I took last week at one of the farms in that area. Soon I’ll show you a photo I took of an old barn from the Civil War era on the same road.
Yesterday was awesomely everything that comes when you KNOW spring is in the air. You can see it, feel it and smell it. So, I went driving around in Michigan’s farmland and took a bunch of pictures right before sunset. I took this one on a horse farm and this gal just couldn’t figure out what I was up to. I think her name was Emily, she wanted look at my camera… close up. I’ve never been around horses much, but I really like them.
For those of you who love scenic farmland and barn shots, I’ve got a bunch coming up this week.
I took this in Muskegon at the Pere Marquette Park. Even though it felt desolate here, it was beautiful in an awe inspiring way.
