Color,color, color. It's really on my mind as I anticipate Spring and see us beginning to come out of the winter gray. Even old red paint and rust are looking good to me.
Is the phenomenon of really loving color in Spring unique to me? Do you also crave color this time of year?

| Schoolhouse on the Ohio back roads. |
This early one room schoolhouse was found one Saturday morning as I desperately searched for a break in the clouds. I really wanted to capture a farmscape. However, I’m very happy I found the school instead. We have a lot of these schools here in Ohio. Usually they’ve been converted into a small home, are being used as a storage building, or are just falling down. This is the first example that I have seen withe the belfry still in place. It might be crooked, but it’s still there.
No windows, it must have been dark and oppressive inside. Still, I am certain that many thousands of children received a solid, no frills, education while attending here.
Have a great Saturday.
Today'simage is of the main concourse located at Cincinnati's Museum Center, an art deco train station dating from the early 1930s. Architecture is a subject that I find fascinating, especially buildings such as this one with wonderful design and history combined into one location. Being such a fan, I have to admit that I am very uneducated ont he subject. I am a fan will little to back up my fascination. I just like what I see and every once in a while, I learn something along the way. this is definitely a case of just likeing something and not feeling the need to understand why.
I think this is the second post in a row where I am coming off as a typical male. Maybe I need to look into this.

I like the texture in this image, from the stacked stone chimney to the saw marks in the window boards.
If you noticed that I tookt eh last couple of days off from posting on this bolg, it's because I have been out shooting and that in turn means wading though a lot of images that need to be processed. On the upside, that also means that I have a lot of new images that I am eager to share with all of you good folks.
For today, enjoy this image taken in the English Garden of Stan Hywet Hall, in Akron, Ohio last Sunday. The overcast day made for some tough low contrast lighting conditions, but it was a great place to visit and I've done my best.
On a recent photo outing, I discovered that our small city was home to a bonafide survivalist bunker/compound.
While I found it impossible to see inside the compound, judging by the number of antennas and steel towers surrounding the property, the occupant has no problem keeping an eye on the rest of the world. Going by the message on the outside of his wall, I would say that he is a right wing tea party nut case. I just thought I should share. there is nothing like getting a little of the local flavor.
Wooden shakes on theroof of the chicken coop. Looks like some of them will need to be replaced next summer.
Have a good day folks.
I just can't resist a good window. A sort of weakness, I would suppose.
