Reading Outdoor Photographer Indoors

In order to prepare for outdoor photography I must first read about it indoors. That way I will know what to expect when I go outdoors...

1943 Bungalow

Built in 1943 with a concrete block foundation overlaid with large railroad ties to hold the framing for the house.

It is a great little home for retirement which is why we bought it; easy care, comfortable, and warm...

Cool Front Porch

What a way it would be, to spend a hot Summer's day here on a cool shady porch. A nice cup or glass of your favorite beverage in hand, sitting in a relaxing easy chair and listening to the running of a clear cool brook in the ravine below just a couple of yards off the front of your porch.

Sigh, if only this were mine...

Ava - The Watcher

Kids learn a lot, when growing up, while watching others. Hear Ava was watching an Uncle out in the yard working on something. She definitely was watching intensely at what he was doing... Actually making faces at her. I can just imagine what Ava was thinking...

Ava - The Doll

Came up to the porch and the way she looked, not moving and expressionless, she was just like a doll-baby standing there...
