photo's on the farm

Here a photo--there a photo--everywhere photo's, photo's!

I've decided to try and go through my photo's from the last year. Every hike we go on, when we visit grandparents and family, wherever we go, I'm taking pictures of things that catch my eye. But, to be honest, my eye gets caught quite easily. In these millions of photographs, I think very few cross over that line of snapshot, into art. However, I will post some of my favorites,
and you can be the judge.

The photo's below were taken at my parents home, which is a little house out in the country, built by my grandfather. It's surrounded by lots of interesting old farm implements and treasures. The picture of me above, is with an old frame of my dad's. He used to be a sculptor for a frame company and carved reproductions of period pieces, and designed original frames. I love the ornate, gaudy, bagpipe grandeur of this one. And I like to imagine what kind of painting it was commissioned for.
