A Little Bit of Pink
I love gravel travel! You really just never know what you’re going to find. My sister and I had great fun on Sunday – temps in the mid 30’s after several long, cold, frigid days this Iowa winter – driving country roads in search of — whatever!
My sister told me to STOP and back up when she caught sight of this pink chair positioned off to the side in front of a small white structure. A nice burst of color for late January. And all is well with the world…

North River Community Church Gravel Travel Expedition
Project 365
07/10/2015
Dusk was about an hour away and I hadn’t yet taken any photos for my daily Project 365 initiative. We’d been out of town the last two days and we were exhausted by the time we finally returned home earlier this evening. After emptying the dishwasher and tending to laundry, I sat a spell and played with my camera. Because there was still adequate light for a bit of a ‘hunting’ expedition, husband and I decided to see what we could see as we headed toward country roads not yet traveled – always my favorite way to explore new photo ops!
After a few shots of farm sheds, crooked mailboxes and ditch weeds, we stumbled upon an old church and cemetery. More photos to follow later but I was especially pleased with this skyward shot grounded by the entry to the church grounds. We’ll definitely return and next time we’ll pack up the DSLR and our tripod and try to allow for more evening daylight so we have adequate time to play and explore!
This little outing made my day. Don’t ever call me high maintenance. You can forget fancy cars, jewelry and nights on the town. THIS is my idea of great fun!
