Hilltop Barn

Okay, I have to level with you and tell you that I'm just "grasping" for straws here! I only have 3 more pictures to post and the weather has just been awful for days so I haven't been able to get out. I wish I was as creative as some of you who come up with the neatest shots indoors!

Anyway, this is a filler from the last little snow that we had. They're saying we're going to get some ice tonight. Yikes! I work for an electrical co-op and icy weather is just a nightmare in our business. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they're wrong.
I love this with the totally blank sky - it is an artist's picture!

@maggiemae - Thanks Maggie. The only thing I really did was change it to sepia. It was a foggy morning which added to the effect.

I think your photos are excellent!
I have a hard time with indoor photos too. It just doesn't seem like fun. I like to be outdoors, driving or walking, where I can search for something that catches my eye. It seems like maybe you are the same.
good luck on the ice......yikes

I really like the different textures. Great job!

This weather has not been conducive to outdoor photography... I have no idea what I will post today... don't like anything I have taken... and I had hoped to finish strong, but those hopes are diminishing! Wish I had a good filler like this one... the processing really adds to the bleakness of the sky!

I am SO right there with you. Ending in January has been so incredibly difficult. We're going to make it, though. . .I'm pulling for you!

Hang in there, Cindy ... this is awesome! Hope that your weather stays at a good temp and ALSO hope that you won't be leaving ...I love your photos.. Because this is a definite FAV.

love this...

Your grasping for straws is stunning! So fun to find something amazing/beautiful in the otherwise dreary day!! Nice work!

Pretty capture, only three days left - wow!
January 16th, 2013  
@paula365 I totally agree. When I'm stuck inside its usually a picture of my dog on the couch...outside is so much more interesting!

It is so hard to do when the weather is bad, I am struggling with that now!

I would swear this was hand drawn by an artist. Beautifully done, Cindy. I've been here so long and have run out of ideas for indoor shots at this point ;-) So whether the weather be good or bad, I try to concentrate on the outdoors myself. Sometimes inside looking out works well, too. Anyway sure glad you posted this one---it's terrific!

Beautiful sepia capture!!

Don't think you should feel bad about the odd filler. I've used loads! Besides this is very pretty. Hope you escape the ice damage.

@paula365 - Thanks Paula! Yes, I much prefer driving out in the country to see what I can find. For one thing, I'm just not creative to do indoor shots. All I do is just snap pictures of the beauty that God has just laid out for us!

@lyno - Thanks, Lynn. I really appreciate your support. It's just been so tough these last few weeks. So glad I have someone like you right there with me! You are going to stay on then?

@bonnielark - Thanks, Sheryl! Appreciate you stopping by!

@godbreathed - Thanks so much! We just have to hold on to the thought that Spring is not that far away!

@cimes1 - Thanks, my friend! I can't believe I'm almost done. I say I'm not going to post every day next year but it's going to be tough not to. It's sort of become a habit -- and I'll miss "talking" to you every day!

@carolmw - Thanks, Carol. I really appreciate your constant support. It means a lot.

@fueast - Thanks, Alison. Thank goodness the ice wasn't as bad as they were predicting. But at least it was enough to give me something to shoot today!

Love it - fav.
