This caught my eye the minute I saw it. Every inch of this basket and trunk had an interesting shape or texture. I couldn’t walk by without stopping to photograph them. A black and white conversion seemed a logical choice for processing so that the viewer isn’t distracted by color.

A visit to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is never complete without seeing a few horse and buggies riding through the countryside. I just LOVE them! Maybe because there is a pretty horse leading the way, or maybe it’s the clip clop sound of their hooves, or maybe it’s just the charm of this way of life that intrigues me, I’m not sure. I love the respect shown by drivers of automobiles and trucks as they share these narrow two-lane country roads with the buggies.

Brewster has been taking selfies again when I’m not looking! He’s even figured out how to frame his photos and apply a copyright. Dang, everyone told me that Siamese cats were smart, but I didn’t know they were THIS smart!

Meanwhile, somewhere in Lancaster County, Pa. sits this beautiful farmhouse. I can’t begin to tell you where it is because I have no idea. I shot this image on one of those days when I was meandering along the back roads and enjoying the countryside. I do remember that storms were expected and I was hoping for some moody skies to photograph, but that never happened. I had to settle for a touch of blue sky with some wispy clouds floating above the farmland.

I so enjoy watching the dogs and handlers in the show ring. The dogs are doing their best (well, most of the time!) to show well in front of the judge. There they are, focused on the bait, when out of the corner of their eye, they catch a glimpse of the judge. For a split second, they glance away, maybe without even moving their head, to see if the judge is looking at them. Then their focus goes right back to the bait! This image is from the Chester Valley Kennel Club show last month in Pennsylvania.
