My mission statement~

I intend on "trying" to live a life that is about: not putting in my mouth things that are bad for me or have come from an animal that was treated cruely while alive on this earth and during slaughter, creating lasting fond memories for my children and grandchildren, adventure, challenging myself, respect others regardless of species, race, color or creed, taking risks, having fun, being grateful, respecting myself & my body, being authentically myself, taking responsibility for my actions, being proactive, being a problem solver, taking action, introspection, transition, change, honesty, growth, loving & helping others, having integrity, doing my best, being easy on myself, enjoying this world, becoming well read, seeing the wonder of it all and never allowing fear to hold me back!

What a beautiful post! I am smiling because of you;)

What gorgeous photos!

Jeannelle said...

Oh, what a lovely collection of photos.....the most special being your precious Cooper!!

I love that very unique, tall, weathered old barn. Very cool! Great photo subject.....you better go back and take more photos there sometime!

And the shed in the cornfield looks as if the corn is growing right through it!! Interesting!

And, that abstract painting----Midnight Hues-----very clever!!!

Jeannelle said...

I'm taking a second look at the weathered barn or corncrib, whatever it may be. Wow.....I've never seen a farm building quite like that before. And, there's an elevator up on the roof, and what appears to be and IH 560 tractor on the right (I spent many hours on one of those years ago).

Seriously......take more photos of this place, and from all angles, if possible......before the owner decides to tear it down! Great farm architecture is disappearing everyday from the landscape.

I will do that Jeanelle-
The other views are super cool as well, now I am excited to go back and take more and have someone to show them to;)

Thanks for lovin' my "Midnight Hues" LOL!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. It's nice to meet you. What beautiful pictures you have here. :-)

Tracey said...

Heidi,
If you go to my blog and then right click on the award picture. It should give you a choice to "save picture as"....then you can name it and save it to your computer and then upload it like you do your pictures.
I hope I explained it okay, I am not real computer saavy myself :)
