I like the idea of it all being from behind the steering wheel sort of thing, though I am happy to know that you stopped! Many people wouldn't! I've been known to stop in the middle of a road to snap a photo and people with me are like "What are you doing?" <br /><br />They never get it. <br /><br />I'm with you, though.

Major snow, wind, and sunshine fought each other all day.<br /><br />The barn is part of our property. It was built in 1901, and is even prettier on the inside.

While a dust tornado would still be cool, I'd prefer one made with snow.<br /><br />The kids started to get annoyed as the month went on and I kept stopping to take more photos. They were happy to stop and take in the pretty scene for a limited amount of time. :)<br /><br />We are fortunate to live just off the busy road. A mile away is the major thoroughfare into downtown, but where we are, the roads are blissfully quiet.<br /><br />The barn was built in 1901. It's falling down, and we're going to have to have it taken down before it collapses. We're holding off because it is such a beautiful structure.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-19663185276470120692015-03-01T12:38:11.230-05:002015-03-01T12:38:11.230-05:00Thank you!

Not only did it make it easier for you to fit photography into your daily routine but I also like your comment about how the photo challenge made you more mindful of the sights you see everyday while you're out and about. And your comment about safely stopping in the middle of the road to take photographs...I can't imagine that! The roads in Calgary are so busy that I always feel like I'm the slowest vehicle in a speedway race when I have to drive somewhere. Maybe that's why I walk or ride the LRT as much as possible! Anyhow, a terrific set of photos and I just love that red barn that keeps popping up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328240406506426693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-2643492904037284632015-02-28T13:40:34.606-05:002015-02-28T13:40:34.606-05:00Great pics Christine.
