Traveling the wilder roads of life to capture the beauty and uniqueness of the world around us. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I like taking them.

A native of the Hoosier state (Indiana that is) but I call Michigan home. I've always been a nature girl and farming has been in our family since before we crossed the pond. Summers were spent on my grandparent's farm with my cousins and has some of my best memories. My love for travel, exploring , and photography has led me to create this page and start my photography business.

Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. ~ John Muir

On a recent Saturday morning, I woke up to the fog looming dense over the landscape. I grabbed my camera and headed out the door. Photographing foggy scenes is my favorite. I hit a couple spots I had in mind for a long time and then headed to a local woodland.

When I arrived, the sun was just starting to break through and shine down between the leaves of the trees. I have passed this bench so many times, but as I was hiking through, I turned around and was struck by how lonely the bench looked surrounded by the fading fog. Just waiting for someone to come by, take a sit, and enjoy the quiet sounds of the surroundings.

I must be in the mood to share photos from the Cadillac area as I've been sharing a few from there lately. Michigan has a lot of beautiful areas, but south of Cadillac are rolling hills and unique barns that I haven't seen elsewhere. The landscape is so lush with greenery too. To the west of here is the Manistee Forest. An area that is great for camping and hiking with the Manistee River running through it.

This lovely brown barn is somewhere between Hwy 131 and CR115. My map route showed that I drove on many random roads that day so I can only give a general location.

I found this barn while I was zig-zagging across the countryside. When I am traveling across the state (or anywhere really), I pull off the main highway when I spot rolling hills and/or interesting barns. This was one of those times.

I know I was south of Cadillac between Hwy 131 and CR 115, but I have no idea if I could find this barn again. There was a lot of random turns along the way, but that is part of the fun of traveling when you have the time.

An old building that looks like it may have served multiple uses. Community Hall? Schoolhouse or church? Or all three? This is located in an area with multiple lakes, woods, and farmlands. On one of my random drives, I found myself west of Brooklyn in Jackson County. I don't think this is a really old building, but it has sat empty for a long time it seems.

A late summer glow sits upon these barns. A horse or two wandering about the land. One of the wonderful scenes I see in northern, lower Michigan.

Another green barn from the Green Vale Farm by Grand Rapids.

Yesterday, I posted the large barn that makes up farm, but this one you see right when you drive in. It's so cute with the pumpkins in front. 🎃 If I lived nearby, I would be here all the time buying the goods they sell here.

You will need to click on the photos to get the full view.

The Green Vale Farm west of Grand Rapids, Michigan

This is such a beautiful, well-crafted barn and one of the largest I've seen in person. Another one that was almost as big was near Wapakoneta, Ohio. This place has a shop where you buy various good and of course pumpkins in the fall. 🎃

I've been on a search this year for barn with lots of sunflowers. When I finally find one it has a sunflower ON the barn and the flowers in perfect view. The sunflowers were a little past its prime, but lots were still blooming. There was a problem though. The lighting the day I found this barn was very harsh making the sunflowers too bright. It didn't look right.

So, this is a heavily edited photo to darken the harsh light on the barn and flowers. I really like how the yellow stands out. This is a bit different, I feel like I'm stepping outside the box, but I like it. What do you think?
