And lots of broken beer bottles! This was also way out in the country with nothing but farmland all around. Homeless people tend to more congregate in cities. I wouldn't take any photos of my friend's cottage on the outside right now, as the paint is all peeling off. That's their next project - the outside. They wanted to totally re-do the inside first (including the plumbing and electrical) so they could move in.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-63095742933133018052014-07-08T15:39:41.452-07:002014-07-08T15:39:41.452-07:00I hope my friend does indeed invite me back to her...I hope my friend does indeed invite me back to her cottage and lets me take pictures with all her furnishings and decorations.

Those dolls were a bit Steve King-ish. The photo of the flower and bumble bee was my favorite. I think that it is wonderful that you and your husband both enjoy photography together. Steve and I use to take day trips just for the purpose of taking photos, maybe after he retires, he'll feel more relaxed and want to start doing that again. I hope so. I always enjoy your posts. You pack a lot of interest into them :) Thanks for sharing.

Mine is an old Canon Powershot. Tim gave me his first DSLR, but I still need to buy a lens. I never knew how much I liked photography until just a couple of years ago. Tim critiques my photos and he's not too kind, lol. So I tell him to teach me. One thing I just learned from him is that I shouldn't be cropping my photos. He said he can immediately tell they're cropped because the photo is so boxy. He said I need to use the view finder and take the photo exactly as I want it THEN...to either get closer or zoom in. Don't crop out what you don't want in the photo later. Yes, I have a lot of Canadian connections - relatives and friends! My dad was Canadian and I still have some cousins up there.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-44236263211845891902014-07-08T07:29:35.009-07:002014-07-08T07:29:35.009-07:00I tried researching the property but didn't co...I tried researching the property but didn't come up with anything.

Years ago Greg got some good black and white photos of the old house his great grandparents had lived in long before. It was abandoned and eventually torn down, so I'm glad he went when he did. Lots of history in these old places to wonder about.

Wow, what gorgeous countryside! Love barns, and this one is quite intriguing with its remnants left behind, which I always find sort of sad, as if the inhabitants had to leave in a hurry or something! How wonderful that you and Tim share a hobby for photography; must be so neat to discuss this art form!<br /><br />Have a great week!<br /><br />Poppy<br />P.S.
