NJ Farms

I still have a thing for photographing Farms. There is something so comforting about them. I love how they are all so different too. Yes there is usually a barn and a (tall round cylinder thingie which I can't think of right now) and they all have interesting doors and windows. Some have cows, some have sheep, some have miniature donkeys! But I also love the colors... the big red barn nestled on lush green land rich with life. And the smell. We all know what I'm talking about... that smell... yeah THAT smell... but you know what??? I kid of like it. Now I'm not saying I'd want to bottle it and wear it around town, but I like how it reminds me of horseback riding lessons as a little kid. Ahhh Memories....

Here is a quick shot of a random farm along Rt 23 in NJ I took a quick snap of from the car.

Christmas House at Night

It snowed a lot at home, about 12 inches I think... I know Piper (my dog) had a blast until her pampered little tooties got too cold, then she wanted in. But at night, when the yard and the bushes are covered with snow and the Christmas lights are on... it's one of the most beautiful things.... I love Christmas lights.

NJ Barns, more

Here are a few more shots from my North Jersey Barn photographic outing.

no your not seeing double... I just couldn't decided which one i liked... one reminds me of the "drive by shooting" but the other is less... jarring....

NJ Barns

Still in the photographic mood yesterday (Sunday), I decided to travel in to the west. Well, West North Jersey :-D You'd be surprised, that is if you are not from Jersey, how many farms and barns are out there. I LOVE barns, and horses. I could photograph them all day.

So I hoped in the old Mustang and headed West down Rt 78, then jumped over to Rt 519 and headed north. This is one of my favorite motorcycle roads, but it also has a bunch of farm land as well.

Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day... I have a few more, to be posted later.

I took this photograph as I drove past the church, not a recommended practice! You will crash ! Ok so I did not crash, but... I did swerve... and if someone was on the shoulder they would not have been for to much longer. But needless to say, with out looking through the view finder I think I grabbed a pretty neat shot!

This one has to be my favorite of the day.... Because it just looks way to perfect.

Only in New Jersey could you happen upon a photographic moment like this one.
