Happy Saturday.  I heard on the news this morning that today is the astronomical beginning of Fall.  Yea!!  This has been one of the most miserable Summers (weather wise) that I can remember.  I’m sure I’ve been hotter but I don’t remember when it was.  🙂

This image was taken last Saturday on the way to Vinton, Iowa en-route to the big jump.  It was too good to pass up so I did a U-turn at a cross over, went back and snuck  up on them in my most stealthy way.  Of course when you are my size you can’t be too stealthy.  They caught on to me really quick.

For all my friends who enjoy farm scenes.  I saw this implement sitting in a hay-field.  I’m assuming that this wagon is used to harvest silage.  I thought it made a nice image against the corn in the foreground and background.

Finally this wonderful old barn.  If you remember I was telling you last week after we left the Vinton Airport we went past this barn and after a mile of traveling down the road, I decided I had to go back and capture an image.

This is the type of barn I like to shoot.  Still pretty much in its original condition, without the metal roof and it has the weathered wood.  These old barns are such a common sight in Iowa but when I see one in this condition I just have to photograph it.

This week I start another (my third) 52 week project.  I need to post an image of the week.  The purpose is to keep me shooting and looking for new images to make.  The 365 project pretty much takes care of that.  Only two months and I’m really feeling the challenge.

I was trying to explain the 365 project the other day to a friend and he thought I just posted a different picture each day.  No I have TAKE a different picture each day.  Like last Saturday I made 600 images but I could only use one for the 365 project.  Sunday I had to come up with a photo I took that day. 🙂

A friend gave me some VIP tickets to the Quad City Air Show for tomorrow.  🙂  Hope to have some neat things to show you next week.  Enjoy this Saturday.  There are only 52 of them a year so make the most of it.

Oh by the way.  I just was notified that this is my 500th post!  WOW, that’s a lot of bloviating! Thank you for following the blog.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be careful.
