Last week Max Lacy and I took a little drive around Madison County to photograph present, and past, Post Offices.  There are still a few around the county in operation, but we also wanted to photograph some of the old, former, Post Office buildings before they are taken down.  Some are in pretty rough shape….but some of them make the best pictures :-).  We didn’t fine a few, Nethers and Peola Mills among them, the signs are no longer there, and we weren’t sure if the buildings are still there or not.  Below are a few of the photos.  You can click on any of the photos to see a slideshow with the rest of the photos.

I’ve photographed at this pond before, but never realized before that beavers evidently built it.  I stopped by this morning looking for something scenic, saw ripples on the water even though there was no wind, then saw a beaver.  There were at least four of them.  They seemed to pay very little attention to me and would come within 15-20 feet at times.

Is it okay that I usually like the iPhone photos more than the ones taken with a “real” camera?  The first three are iPhone photo, the rest with a “regular” camera.

Love photographing old buildings.   Ellen and I went out and did a little shooting yesterday evening.

And here are two from last week…

I took this one last week.  I didn’t like it straight out of the camera…but I think what’s below is a pretty good interpretation of what I felt I was seeing at the time I took the photograph.
