Day sixteen of our photo journey … I have always been fascinated by the history behind small towns. When I was walking downtown today, I realized that in my mind, I tend to picture our town in black and white, almost as if I am imagining old time photographs from 100 years ago.    But, when …

Day fifteen of our photo journey … It was a slow lazy day here in Small Town, USA so we decided to invite you along for our trip to McDonalds. Trips to McDonald’s are a special treat for us, mostly because we have to drive anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes to get to one. “I can’t …

Day nine of our photo journey … Have I ever told you that I have a thing about mailboxes? I think maybe they bring back memories of when I was a kid. You know, when people used to mail real letters to you. Yeah, I know, that is too far back for most folks to …

Day seven of our photo journey …  One of my biggest weaknesses is that I tend to have a slight case of tunnel vision. There can be an entire herd of cattle in front of me, but I will see, and focus in on, the one that catches my attention. You cannot tell me that this …
