Night









Night time... my favorite time to be outside. We live on a farm, in the house built by my husband's grandparents. I love to stand outside and listen to the night sounds... bullfrogs in the ponds, a distant owl, the night critters rustling the leaves in the hollow. I have taken a few pictures while my family were inside sleeping. We live on top of a mountain, eight miles from the nearest town, down a one-lane road, so there is no one to notice a woman in her pajamas with a camera and tripod in the middle of night.

Here is a sample of my pictures:

How fortunate to actually live in the country... and on a farm too! I live in a world of asphalt and hovering helicopters. :-)

That photo of the moon is like something out of Sleepy Hollow. You have the heart of an artist Janet and should continue pursuing this interest. Seems to come natural to you.

Don't know why, but your night scene reminds me of the ending night scene from "To Kill a Mockingbird." Evokes a feeling of suspense for me.

I love your nighttime photographs, and I love that you drew yourself outside at night. I know how beautiful (and sometimes spooky) it is to be all alone in the country at night...but there's nothing like those animal sounds coming from their places in the woods. great drawing!
