Just Messing Around

I was just messing around with his picture. This is the full shot.



Then I decided to just crop and save the barn out of that picture.


Then I decided to crop and save the trees in the left hand corner.


Like I said... just messing around.

We took a little ride over to the small town north of us and then circled back on country roads back toward home. We could see something burning in the distance. When we got there it was a combine on fire. (bean picker) The firemen were just keeping the area around it wet so the fire couldn't jump to the dry grass and woodlands.

From Gum Swamp road we worked our way back to our own little town. We decided to get a milkshake so we turned on to third street heading to McDonalds. Just past the stop light we saw a young deer come out of the alley and cross over third street into the next alley. Poor thing was lost and in the middle of town.

Exciting things can be found when you are just messing around.

I like the barn picture the best. Did you get a new camera? Poor little deer, lost in town. I'm sure some rugged "hunter" will help him out soon!

Just messing around can be a lot of fun and you never know what you will come across. Beautiful photo of the old barn. I saw some pretty neat old barns when I was in Illinois in 2005. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of any of them.

Blessings,
Mary

I should have said: The best, barn none!

The barn picture is great. One of these days I'll slow down long enough to figure out how to do that!

I love to take drives like that. You always find unexpected things.
Love the old barn picture. Good job "messing around".

It's great fun to progressively crop pictures! But keep the original too. I've gotten carried away with cropping, before making sure I still had the bigger original. -sigh-
