Rural Living Pt. 2

I know that some people that don't live in rural settings think those of us that do are crazy.  "How can you live that far from Wal-Mart?"  "How long does it take you to get to the grocery store?"  "What do you do out there?" Those are just some of the questions that I've been asked in the past.  Well, while living in urban areas does have it's advantages (and many photo taking opportunities), rural living has it's advantages too.  I'm only going to look at the photography aspects on here (however, if you'd like to offer your advantages/disadvantages to either, please feel free to do so in the comments).  When you live in rural America, you get to notice different aspects of nature.  How often do those of you in the city get to see a summer thunderstorm rolling across open ground with the sunset behind it?  While those of you in more urban settings are in a hurry to get somewhere to do something, we get to appreciate the changing of the seasons and all of the beautiful things that go along with that.

I hope you enjoy the following images taken from rural America.

Rural Living

Though we may travel to big cities when we go on vacation, we're always excited to get back home.  The wide open spaces, no houses on top of ours, and the simplicity that comes with living in the country is hard to beat.  Whether it's an abandoned barn, a summer sunset, or flowers blooming in the springtime...I wouldn't change where we live for anything.

Don't forget about this month's special offer...2 5x7's for the price of one.  Offer good on prints or photo session.  Comments & critiques welcome.

Happy 2 Year Old

The pictures of this young lady were taken when she was almost 2.  It's hard to believe that she'll be 4 on her next birthday (no, that's not a typo...just old pictures).  The day these were taken, we had a blast playing with the water hose and chasing chickens.  I couldn't be more proud to call her my niece.

I would be more than happy to reply to any comments or questions.  Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by to have a look!
