The Creative Exchange and Friday's Fences - Old Shed

Near my parent's farm - July 4th 2011

As TexWisGirl says... Put a fence in front of it! =)

I don't think it's a barn per se, just an old shed.

Clarify (aka Tone Mapping) applied

Friday's Fences

Barn Charm ♥♥♥52♥♥♥ - One Year Young

This is the barn I posted for the very 1st time here at Barn Charm,

which was Old Barns at that time...

click above to see 1st post

A really cool old barn, although, I'm wondering if it's still standing considering the shape it was in a year ago...

I meant to drive out & get some new shots of it for this '1 year' post, but didn't get a chance to do so...
I will, though, maybe when the leaves change.

Great big thanks to everyone for joining in & linking up every week,
I sincerely appreciate you & hope you're around in another year,
because I don't plan to quit! =)

Thank you!

I decided I didn't like the star background & just had to change it...
I was driving country roads July 4th & one particular road had a bunch of flutterbys,
I just started shootin' away! =)

Barn Charm ♥51♥ - Almost A Year

Same shot - Taken September 3rd 2011

 I've been experimenting w/ Tone Mapping, which is actually called Clarify in my photo editing program,

and I've found it to be pretty neat.

Hope you likes! =)

UPDATE:
One of mom's sheep, John The Baptist, was killed night before last by coyotes, mom found his remains this morning.
This makes 3 that the coyotes have gotten ahold of, but the 1st she's been able to find!
Rest In Peace lil guy!

Camera Critters - Mom's Sheep

Meet Hoppy!  

He's one of mom's sheep & he was laughing out loud at me last weekend when I nearly fell over 

trying to take his picture under the fence... he's a hoot! LoL!

 Jimh. over at planetruth has the same photo editing program that I have, Paint Shop Pro,
& he's helped me find some new & very cool things in the program.

Here I've added Tone Mapping along w/ some textures, too. 

Thanks a million Jim, very much appreciated! =)

Flooded Tree

This tree isn't suppose to be near the water, much less nearly half submerged...

ok, maybe that's a tad dramatic, but deep water just the same! LoL!

The marina in the background is, of course, in the water, 

but there's a steep embankment between it and the tree...

Record breaking deep, I'm tellin' ya! =)

I posted photos in the spring where the water had washed out the road by the dam just behind me

& you can see this tree in the background of the 'Boat Safe' shot...

Check out the last pic, too  =0

Redman Creek - Wappapello Lake - Southeast Missouri - Spring 2011

The post below & the link above is to the same post & was originally posted back in April this year...
somehow, it showed up being posted tonight & I don't know how it happened.

Wappapello Lake, Missouri Flood 2011

Wappapello Lake, Missouri - May 7th 2011

My aunts & I took a bus ride across the dam to see damage done by flood waters that wiped out T Hwy.

The lake crested in 1945 at 399.09 & crested at 400.02 in 2011 - 

Water had gone down by the time we were there that day.

Street light at the boat dock at Redman Creek! =0

Be Careful!
