Thanks fiveoaksmom, Josh........ and Susan for the compliments!

I've been taking pictures since I was about ten years old. It's one of my favorite hobbies.

Seeing all those beautiful pics makes me 'homesick'. *sigh* I do have several that I took with my 35mm.
But yeah, Piggly Wiggly was my favourite store while I was near Evansville. I also fell in love with Albany, so peaceful, so serene....

Wow gallon! That Sandhill crane picture looks familiar, I bet that was taken on Highway 51 just south of Portage? I live near there, and I seen that picture and thought that look familiar. I do alot pf hiking on that DNR land behind the cranes in the picture. There is a abundance of wildlife out there.

Not sure of the highway, but it was taken just a couple miles southeast of town. Wherever the highway parallels the railroad. I was toodling along and noticed these hoboes on the tracks. That is a huge marsh beyond the tracks so I am not sure this is your exact spot, but it must be nearby.

What is pf hiking? I can make guesses but don't really know for sure.

Sorry gallon, I meant "of" instead of pf. lol I didn't proofread my post. That huge marsh you speak of is Swan Lake Wildlife area, it is about 1700 acres. It is beautiful.

I went for a ride and walk today. Wow, it was beautiful! I took some nice pictures.

Just a farm field off a local road.


I went hiking here. It's really a hunting area, but I thought a hike would be nice.





The beautiful countryside.




This is a local private lake. There is always an abundance of wildlfe here.


This hill always seems to provide and awesome view.
