Today is one of those days when it is too beautiful to stay inside all day. The temperature is perfect, the sun is out and there's a delightful breeze! Soon, after breakfast, I turned to my husband and said..................."why don't we take a ride to Schoharie today?" Schoharie is this little country place that is not far from us; about a 45-minute ride and even though it's a small town, it offers much beauty in every season.
You've probably either heard, me say, or read it a hundred times that I feel art is a path. I took my camera figuring I would see if I could get some cool shots to add to my stash here.
The first shot, I took, was of this sign that was in front of a small church in town. I LOVED what it said; very profound I thought and I could actually relate it to many things in life. Then, not far up the road, were a bunch of sunflowers, which I love, and what did I find among the sunflowers was a sign that said The Rocks!! Even my husband reacted! I had to get a shot of the sign amongst the sunflowers and then took a close-up shot and put a cool poster filter on it. Funny, huh?
I took another shot of more sunflowers with some pretty magenta-colored flowers.
The black and white photo is one that was, in color, but I turned it into a black and white; thought it was more artistic in my eye. The chairs made me feel so relaxed and calm just looking at them.
I have a few more pictures, from our road trip, and will upload in a couple of days.
I hope you all are having a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
Prayers and positive thoughts go out to the people who are currently evacuating and who will be effected by the latest hurricane - Gustav! It's so hard to imagine that New Orleans could get hit, yet again, just three years after Katrina hit!
Thanks for stopping by today........................Much love - Marilyn
