Snow-Dusted Field

I'm not particularly pleased with this photo. I posted many similar pics last year that were sharper and more interesting.

Last February 23 I had a photo idea, sought out the location, and posted that idea. Everything else was an insurance shot. Or, in virtually all cases, rehearsals for photos I'd post later at 366 Snaps.

Regarding the lumberyard photo: In the late 1960s my parents seriously considered buying a piece of land "Up North" and putting up a house. Since Mom and Dad didn't really have a specific design in mind they collected house plans and catalogs. Two of the plans were from Hamill Homes in Grand Ledge, and one of those was a gothic cottage with gingerbread trim.

Thus the title of my 366 Snaps photo ("They Sold Gingerbread House Kits"). The image shows the showroom/warehouse/lumberyard that housed Hamill Homes, which is a couple miles down the local railroad mainline from Mulliken. I believe they closed up shop in the mid-1990s.

A careful inspection of the Hamill photograph will convince you that I worked Photoshop Elements hard to make it presentable. "Sharp-edged" would not be an appropriate description of my February 23 photographs. Sometimes it's like that, whatever the camera, but in this case I suspect the issue was a dirty lens.

As things worked out Mom & Dad bought a couple cottages in the Delton area. I discussed that a few days ago.
