Six Shooter (plus one)

Our good friends offered to drive on a trip, and even offered up taking the “prairie route” which they felt would better accommodate my photographic interests. It’s hard to imagine better friends than that, who willingly accept making our drive several hours longer than strictly necessary by the traditional Point A to Point B routing system. And not only did they willingly accept it, they actually suggested it in the first place.

Anyway, this was the first photo stop…so obviously the day got off to a stellar start. I mean – what’s not to like about an old car with a shot-out windshield.

Trinity

Sometimes I get in a mood and feel like shooting a bunch of photos with a short depth of field. And as it turned out, April 18 was one of those moods.

But you could tell that without my mentioning it…

New Growth

This tenacious little tree has decided to overshadow a tiny headstone.

Christ and the candleholder

Saint Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church was unlocked that afternoon I stopped by. Maybe it’s always open…I don’t have enough information to draw a conclusion.

But anyway, I went inside to have a look around. One of the best sights was this thin crucifix, hanging high on the wall and offset by a waxy candleholder. Add in white wooden walls and some vague shadows, and it was obvious that I needed a photograph.

Man’s best friends

This trio of crosses in the corner of a pasture surprised me: I wasn’t expecting to see that someone’s (presumably) beloved pets were buried there.
