Interesting Finds!!

Living out here in the middle of no where is just SO awesome!! I cannot even find the words to say how blessed I feel to enjoy this beautiful peace every single day! So last week while I was out exploring my country side I decided I wanted to get a closer look at this barn that sits on a dead end road parallel to my house. This barn has always struck me as odd...There is nothing else in it's vicinity other than some antique cars and a truck sitting on it's side by the road! There is also a pond or swamp is more like it right behind the barn..
















After maneuvering many tree branches and such to get close to the barn I finally get up to the window and find these...

If you click on the picture you can see that the year these were published was 1962!



Seriously these are stacked in a pile in month order next to this open window. It seems kind of odd to me, and I am shocked that the weather elements haven't destroyed these by now! I'd like to take a closer look at the barn but I was getting a bit nervous with all of these mysterious noises all around me and I was by myself! I kept waiting for a mama bobcat or coyote to come out and eat me LOL!! Next time I'll look closer...



This truck is sitting on it's side?!

Testing a New Lens and LOVING It!!!

My brother's wedding is approaching fast, coming up this Saturday! For his special occasion I decided to rent a lens! SOO after much deliberation on what I wanted to try out I finally decided on a Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G AF-S DX IF-ED, and boy do I LOVE it!! I was a little leery about renting a lens and really hoping and praying that my experience would go well...I put in my order on a Sunday night and requested it to be shipped right away so it arrived the following Wednesday! So far so good! I am absolutely LOVING this lens!! The bad part is I think I will actually be sad when I have to send it back...Now I'm trying to figure out how to convince the Hubby to buy me one ;)

So I thought I would share some of my deserted country road finds! You can see the awesome detail by clicking on the picture!!
