#1 Accidental Letters

I'm going to challenge myself even more by finding the letters in my name, then put them together at the end of the week.

#7 My Home Town

Took the girls strawberry picking. We have 3 strawberry patches in Carthage, 3 years ago we had 1.

This didn't come out quite how I imagined it. I wanted to get a close up of a strawberry with one of the girls blurred in the background. The strawberries were really low to the ground, so I have to almost lay on the ground to get this shot.  Also, it was really hot out and the girls were not in the mood for their picture to be taken.

#6 My Home Town

We have some beautiful Historic Homes, most are kept up, but some are left to rot. The 2nd is my favorite, I wish the owner would restore this house (yes someone actually lives in it) because you don't see architecture like this anymore. I hate that I blew the sky in 2 of these, the back lighting was harsh.

We have a lot of old barns in our area. Most of them used to be used to dry tobacco.

#2 My Home Town

This is or court house which was built in 1784. Everything in town centers around the court house as we are the county seat. Some may recognize the doorway as I used it in one of my framing pictures.

1/20, f16, ISO 1600 (Arghhh, shutter speed is too slow! I wanted to use f16 to get a crisp shot, but because it was overcast and shaded by 2 huge oak trees I had to go to ISO 1600 and my shutter speed is too low)
