Evening light~Carthage, NC

Howdee all,

I was inside Homey making dinner yesterday, when I noticed the light changing outside…

I thought it might be a great time to capture a few photos.

I brought my ipod touch, and both point and shoot cameras.

This first photo was taken on HDR with the ipod.

I turn back and

I noticed the sun shining thru from the field next door…

So I walked to the field and shot a few photos..

We are here in Sicksta and Craigys side yard in NC for a bit longer..either until the cold drives us away or when our black tank fills…

Jeff has a sore back and wants to heal before we head south.

That’s ok with me…its pretty here and the Birds really appreciate our home made bark butter.

  6. I call those "days with thin evening skies." After the winter solstice the skies do some amazing things with gentle light.

  10. What gorgeous photographs! You captured the light perfectly. Here's hoping Jeff's sore back is better soon and that no one buys that beautiful piece of land. Unless it is you.

  11. BEAUTIFUL! I hope no potential buyers see your lovely photos. The deed should have your name on it. You could call it Backrest Acres. Oh, the trouble you and your sister could get into!

    It's always nice seeing NC from your lens-eye view.

    As far as the land...It would be nice to buy it and keep it an open field.
