Barry County, Michigan.

I've been passing this farm forever. Don't think I ever took their pic before.

Every herd has one or two members tasked to watch the passing bicycles, just in case we do something threatening....

Taken on a day rather like today, early in 2006, with my Minolta SRT-101. Rural Eaton County.... Same location, different angle .

I've shown you this barn before , but there it was being its usual photogenic self this morning when I rode by. So you're getting another picture or two. Besides, the way the cows watch the passing parade through those doors is just impossible to resist. So I grabbed the camera and shot a few--literally from the bike's saddle. Wonder if I've got any pictures stashed away from before the buttresses were added. I'll have to look....

Same location as the previous photo; this building also survives, even though the house which overlooked the pasture's been demolished. This is really just a cinder-block shed, but someone made an effort to make it look good.

I've shown you this farm before , although that was from another direction. This time I stopped the car, got out, and took proper photographs. Don't see any need to repeat the story I told with the other pic. ========== I wandered around the township a year ago, shooting pix pretty much at random. The sunrise shot I posted to 366 Snaps was taken south of town, from Mulliken Road, at perhaps my favorite local photo location. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .

Our route to and from work takes (well, took) us past this farm twice daily; we'd usually turn at this corner. It's a nice, compact farm operation, and well set up for a photograph. But I've generally taken those pix from a moving car, and usually been dissatisfied. This shot, despite the motion, captures what I see in the place. When I first moved to Mulliken, this farmer kept his cattle in a field across the road from his house. We'd sometimes find him driving them back to the barn as we passed. These days he mostly just feeds 'em hay.... ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion for April 18 .
