Grand Kids.

Enough barns for a while. 

Layla and Colton. 

Grandkids. Both current photos. Fall of 2012.

Saturday Barns.

Right across the street from my son (Clint) and Jenni's house are the best looking old barns. 

I took Saturday afternoon, 11-03-12. Day was cool and a bit overcast. 

Top picture from Sony camera with a bit of HDR processing to get that look.

The bottom picture from my android cell phone. Not bad!!!

Fireworks 2012.

One really good capture, probably four okay captures, about 10 bad shots.


Nice party at Clint and Jenni's with fireworks. 


This was in their backyard. 


Camera phone. 

Marengo Barns.

Clint and I drove around the country taking barn photos. 


Here are a couple of them I liked:

Mudding on the 4th weekend.

4th of July 2010 (actually Saturday July 3rd.)
Party at Clint and Jenni's.

Lots of good music, drink, and later fireworks.
A common theme all through the day was the 4-wheeling mudding in the adjoining flooded field.



Above is Clint in his Toyota.
There were a lot of people walking around with muddy arms and / or legs by the end of the night.



Clint above taking a break.


Above: Some friends of Clint took what I thought to be an almost stock Jeep through the mud.

Made it.

Clint and Matt taking laps around the pond.

Later that night they had an almost surreal look because all you could make out were the headlight(s) moving slowly through the darkness.

(Reminded me a bit of Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid where they couldn't shake their trackers - they could see them in the distance carrying torches).

HERE is a link to Marseilles, Illinois for the off-road track they visit many times a year.

In the dark.
