I would really like to retake this one. Maybe a different angle. Just ... something. I have ideas.

An old barn in rural Cooper county Missouri, on 87 highway between Interstate 70 and California Mo. I have passed by this old barn many times while traveling to and from Columbia but could never get a shot of it because the farmer keeps the gate locked, or I was in to much of a hurry to stop. When I drove by a few days ago, I was finally able to stop and take some shots of it. Wonder what he'd think if he happened upon this photo on flickr? : ) Hope you all are having a great week!

scanned copy for a better reference pic of the PSO i have in my photo stream that I have taken.
Yeager Rock is alway worth a drive by. And if you hit it on a pretty dead day, you can stand in the middle of the road without the worry of being runover.
This rock was left behind by the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Glacier, which receeded maybe 20,000ish years ago.

National Register Narrative
The Lee County Courthouse in Giddings, Texas, stands on a public block that, unlike most squares in towns throughout the state, is surrounded by residential rather than commercial buildings. Designed by J. Riely Gordon in 1898 and built by Sonnefield, Emmins and Abright of San Antonio, the three-story red brick courthouse is located on the crest of the high divide that separates the Colorado and Brazos river basins. The building displays a combination of a variety of structural masses and is an imposing site in the predominantly residential area. Similar in design to many of Gordon’s Texas courthouses, the Lee County Courthouse employs the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Cruciform in plan, the structure contains two story quarter-circular entrance galleries set into the front ells (northeast and northwest ells), while the rear ells (southeast and southwest) contain two three-story quarter- circular bays with open arcades on the first :Level and enclosed floors on the second and third levels. A brick parapet with punched brick detail crowns each bay. Each arm of the Greek cross is covered by a hipped roof. From three of the wings large, gabled wall dormers project, while a chimney rises from the rear (south) arm. Two additional dormers are set within the northeast and northwest ells above the two-story quarter-circular galleries. The three-story quarter-circular bays are crowned by cross hipped roofs. Rising from the center of the mass is a tall, square, brick clock tower with tall arcaded openings and a clock. The tower ends abruptly, however, for it lacks the pyramidal roof that Gordon typically employed.
Western Fresno County
The San Joaquin Valley, and particularly the counties of Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kern, and Kings, are extremely conservative politically and largely agricultural. All are located in an arid area receiving less than 13 inches of rain a year. For many years, they have grown their crops by sucking up water from the underground aquifer. Needless to say that is not a infinite resource, however they treat it as such. Ground is actually sinking (subsidence) because of this. These agricultural interests have advocated damning up all the rivers to reserve water from the spring snowmelt in the Sierras. In many instances they have succeeded in these efforts. The salmon runs are all gone because of this, and the rivers are dry in parts of the year. Of course the farmers expect the taxpayer to bear the burden of the huge expense of building dams so they can make more money. You see, they're really socialists. lol
These people do not give a damn (pun intended) about the environment. They would dam their mothers' birth canals if it would benefit them financially.
So, anyway--where was I?-- these signs in one form or another can be found on every highway and byway around the Central San Joaquin Valley. I find them amusing because of the way they can be changed to alter the meanings. How about, "Damn, water grows food." Or, "Damn water grows food."
Oh, it's all fun and games, and meanwhile the planet is dying.

What's not to love about donkeys?
On this particular day it had been a rather fruitless wildflower hunt early in the season along Caliente-Bodfish rd. And then I came upon what seems like a pair of proud parents, showing off their youngster roadside and made the day!
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
This is my feeble attempt to start getting myself into the holiday spirit.
It failed......
Downtown Carthage, Missouri
Jasper County
I'm not sure what is about this shot, but I really like it. I was pretty sure it wouldn't work when I took it. I mostly shot it to test the depth of field on this old ass lens.
So I opened it up to f/6.3 and shot it at 1/395sec. Weird time, no? Yes!
I wasn't really expecting the mountains to show up much at all, but because of the blur, they're sort of just floating there.
Honestly, this looks sort of like a composit image and I'm kind of digging it.
