The Mahatma Rice Elevator is 2 or 3 miles west of downtown Houston on the old Missouri Pacific rail line. The operation closed around 2010. Houston, Texas. 6.17.2012.
Spring is in the air and if you're like me, spring cleaning is on your mind. But does the thought of a garage sale make you want to give up even before you go through your clutter? If so, keep your old stuff gathered...
A sighting from September -- looking over the white fence to see a wagon loaded with pumpkins and Chrysanthemums -- both sure signs of the coming of autumn! Happy Fence Friday! :-)
Changing things up a bit as I took a recent acquisition (Lens) out for a test drive. 540mm equiv. to a full frame sensor, ISO - 6400, f:10 at 1/3200 sec. hand held.
The grain is dumped from the truck into a pit where it slides down to a bucket elevator that carries it to the top of the silo where it can then be distributed into a storage bin. Wye Mills is an unincorporated community in Talbot County, Maryland.
Print size 8x10 inches. Happy Truck Thursday
A recent morning outing to visit some Great Lakes freighters....
Across the way are the massive elevators that contain the grain that fills the holds of what the freighters seek.
Having been in the area numerous times in the past, we returned for a longer stay this spring. Exploring Prince Edward County on a rainy day.
Don't know the name of this well maintained building or when it was built. (Early 1900s?) It's got a pretty interesting history though. Upstairs has always been apartments and many years ago it housed a roller-rink in the back.. The first floor on the left was a saloon that connected to a dance hall on the right. Today, on the left, is the Lazy 6 Cattle Meat Market where the saloon used to be. On the right is the El Sazon de Martha Restaurant and former dance hall. (Good grub and no sign!) The original well-worn dance hall hardwood floor is still in use as is the bar from the old saloon. The ceiling features the original decorative pressed-tin panels. 221 N. 2nd St. (US 87)
View On Black for a better view large !!
This another shot of the old prairie granaries that so often dot the farming landscape across the prairies. As with the first image here this was taken during terrible weather conditions a couple of days ago on the drive to Drumheller from Calgary.
This is really the tip of the iceberg!! I've been getting organized because I was getting tired of looking in 100 places to find something. :)
This is a view from the farm looking over to the wind turbines in Grundy county Illinois. Wind turbines are a mixed bag of good and bad; good clean energy, bad- light pollution at night with their red light atop the tower, and the blades kill hundreds of birds yearly.

This is my last in a series of storage and old wooden granaries form the Alberta Badlands Area.
Throughout North America you can still find these old wooden structures, although no longer used for their intended purposes of holding grain. These buildings have long been replaced by the round galvanized metal versions that also dot the farm lands of America. So when you see these old weathered, paint peeling structures, stop and photograph them, they will eventually all disappear.
Saskatchewan is famous for its "living skies" and - especially - its sunsets. On many occasions a non-photographer has seen me with my gear and asked, "What do you take pictures of, sunsets?" It's kind of amusing, because sunsets are the last thing I'm interested in, but I always say, "Absolutely! And everything else under the sun!"
They may be a dime a dozen, but it's my dime, so I do stop when I see a good one. One evening, driving home after a wildlife shoot in the nearby park, I saw the red intensifying and stopped by the road. Ran across a field with tripod and a single lens. It was fading fast, but I had time to set up and frame yet another Saskatchewan sunset - and everything else under it. The vast spaces between things. The blue hills. Distant farm buildings and grain storage bins; an old granary up close, from the days before metal bins. I know this shed. Sometimes there's an owl in the window, but not lately. I wonder what has become of him.
I drive home in the dark. There's no traffic - not one vehicle. The night air rushes past. I watch for deer. This is where I live.

I bought some storage bins & plants from Dragondeemini, & since I just redressed Maya, I thought I would let her show it off. Now if I can just figure out what to use the bins for.

A bit of sun glinting through an opening between two grain bins at the storage elevator just outside of Greensburg, IN on my last evening home. The dust from grain harvesting fills the lower atmosphere to color the light.
The grain is dumped from the truck into a pit where it slides down to a bucket elevator that carries it to the top of the silo where it can then be distributed into a storage bin. Wye Mills is an unincorporated community in Talbot County, Maryland. Print Size 13x19 inches.
Actually ventured out yesterday -- the wind was terribly bitter! I did manage to get a few shots but it is not easy to get good ones when there is such little snow on the ground. Most fields and trees are almost completely bare.
I liked the ripple of the clouds here...
FABRIC BIN- Organizer- CHRISTMAS- Ornaments- Large
I used two different prints by Moda to make this fabric bin. The print that I used on the main body of the bin and handles is a festive print of ornaments in cherry red, lime green, sage green and light turquoise tossed on an off white background. The print that I am using on the upper part of the bin is a coordinating print in cherry red, sage green and olive green. The name of both prints is "The Twelve Days Of Christmas". Giant red "rick rack" runs across the front of the bin. Handles are on both sides for easy lifting a carrying. The inside is fully lined.
The old Chevrolet 10 pickup with outdated Texas state registration and inspection stickers, with a glimpse of a newer one in the background. I do like the rusty storage bin in the middle of them. Could anyone help identify the year of this truck? 70's? I was attending a farmers' market (with my camera, of course)! This farm has been in the same family for several generations.
Thank you all for your views, faves and comments!
FABRIC BIN- Organizer- CUP CAKES- Robert Kaufman- Large
I used two different prints to make this fabric bin. The main body of the bin is a cute and colorful print of cup cakes by Robert Kaufman. The upper part of the bin is accented in a bright pink with white polka dots print. Brown "rick rack" runs across the front of the basket. The inside is fully lined.
This basket is extra large and will hold many items. They make great organizers for closets, shelves and childrens rooms. They can also be used as a diaper holder in your babies nursery. Fill it up with anything you want. Handles are on both sides for easy lifting and carrying.
