I was challenged by Alice (My Life in Focus) to do a self-portrait, and I tried, I really did, but I'm a bit stressed and under the weather, probably from the stress. (Leaky oil tank remediation nightmare saga continues. Some of you may remember that and it's still ongoing...ugh...long story.) Anyway I've failed miserably getting a self-portrait that I'd be willing to post. I look hideous, with big dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep and stress. I want you all to think I'm a gorgeous vixen instead of the truth. ;-) I will try again tomorrow.

This was shot the same day as the previous one. I like barns very much and the way the light was hitting the tops of the silos appealed to me. I liked it best in black and white since the unusually green grass from the warm weather didn't feel right against the winter gray in the rest of the scene. If the grass had been the typical dull green/brown of winter it would have set off the weathered dull red of the barn nicely I think.

Winter is finally making an appearance. No snow yet but it is cold and is supposed to stay that way with maybe even an inch or two of snow in the next couple of days. I normally don't get excited about snow, but I am excited about it this time. That is, as long as it doesn't mess with the concert my kids have on Saturday, then I won't be happy.
