Oh how I've missed the camera!

It's been a while since I picked my camera up and did much with it.  Most of the last 6 months of 2011, I spent running and training for the St. Jude Marathon.  And I just didn't have the energy to fool with my camera after running so much.  I have missed it so much though!!  I decided this past weekend that I was going to get out and take some shots of different things.  And yes, I know it was freezing down here in the "midsouth"!  Trust me...I know!!  But I still had to get out with the camera around my neck and see what I could find when I put the lens up to my eye.  Here are a couple things:

I found this old barn while I was out driving around.  I love old barns, buildings, and houses that look like they are about to fall apart.  I always think they have such a story to tell and I try to capture it in my image.

This is the same barn , but with very little adjusting done to it and from a different angle.

This is more what I started out doing.  I love to get shots of things folks normally wouldn't even think to give a second thought to.  I love things like this!!!

 I'm not much for trying to taking a sunset photo, but I thought I should.  I had nothing else going on and pulled up to the top of a hill on the bluff and spent about 30 minutes capturing the sun trying to hide from me.  After this, I think I will be taking more sunset photos.  It was a beautiful sight to watch!

Not much for the day, but at least I got out and accomplished the goal I had.
