Every morning is a gift with the birds who live here – to see them and hear them starts the day in a grateful way

These are a few of my favorite photos, barns and other scenes, all taken in Ohio. We were so fortunate to have the beautiful mornings (and weather) that we did.  The trees were just beginning to bud – I love the stark beauty of this time of year.  I hope to be able to paint some of these soon!  (I love taking pictures with the intention to paint the best ones.  And I figure if you take over 1200 photos, surely some of them are bound to turn out good.)
