Roadside Snap

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
Warren G. Bennis quotes

Kuna, Idaho - To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.” Emily Dickinson

Lazy Hazy Days of Summer

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.  ~Sam Keen

Into my heart an air that kills / From yon far country blows: / What are those blue remembered hills, / What spires, what farms are those?”

I really love photographing farmland. There is a beauty to me in farms, they all look so well manicured with their rows and rows of plants and beautiful animals they are raising feeding along the roadside. I especially like old barns and silos they each have their own character. One day I would love to hit the road and just do farms all across the country or the world. There is just a beauty I see in the land and in the people that do the work.

Dedicated to all the Tin Can Travelers

Often when we travel we find stretches of road like this that go on and on without a soul in site. Coming from the Bay Area it is quite a nice change and when these people have signs up that say traffic congestion I always laugh as it usually means two cars and a school bus.

I like the peacefulness of traveling an open road like this, just looking out onto the mountains and open ranges as we motor by. Sometimes when we haven't seen anyone for a long while I do get a little nervous as I am always scared we will break down and sometimes we do not have phone access. But then I see a dear or bird or something that catches my interest and I get back to taking pictures and all my concerns fly out the window.

Anyway this one is for all the Tin Can Travelers out there, safe journeys to us all :) 

Billboards and Road Signs

I remember as a little girl when we would take roadtrips we used to count license plates, well as an adult I keep myself occupied by photographing Roadsigns and Billboards.  I must say you do run across some very imaginative signs out there it would be a shame to pass them by without some documentation.  So here is what I got on our recent Road Trip to Idaho, I think Nevada had the best signs of all if you ask me though.
