Perhaps I’ve developed a greater appreciation for things that have weathered the seasons as I’ve passed into elderhood or maybe I appreciate the classic lines and lasting utility of old farm trucks. Either way, I find them nearly irresistible when I’m exploring the countryside with the cameras. Here are two that celebrate the magical texture

It’s the most beautiful time of the year, on the High Plains. Fall’s pretty special in the places where hardwood trees grow, but that’s not here. Very few trees grow here, except in the major creek bottoms or in town, where folks water and care for them. So, Spring is the most beautiful time of

I thought seasonal affective disorder (SAD) was just a wintertime thing, but it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard when the
All the law can be summarized in one grand statement: Love your neighbor, even as you care for and love yourself. If you continue to criticize and come against each other over minor issues, you’re acting like wild beasts trying to destroy one another! ~ Galatians 5:14-15 TPT

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” ~ Søren Kierkegaard
