New Subject Matter

From September through December,
 I became obsessed with my new subject matter, farmscapes. 
The next studies are  from photos I took while cycling around my new homeland.

THE BIG MOVE



After 27 years of following my husband's career around rural Missouri, he retired. 
The last 8 years were spent in West Plains, MO in the beautiful Ozarks. 
We packed up our goods and headed back to family
 and to where we began, Millstadt, Illinois.
