As always I LOVE your beautiful photograph...Janie,<br /><br />As always I LOVE your beautiful photographs. My favorite was the plowed field with the single tree in the middle.<br /><br />What a treat to drive along with you through the fields of the Mississippi Delta.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next post.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Pat in TallahasseePathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635717027921183076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-80318320210429806822014-03-28T15:52:31.697-05:002014-03-28T15:52:31.697-05:00I must raise my voice in agreement with the others...I must raise my voice in agreement with the others and say that you have a such a gift...a book would be wonderful!<br />I was fortunate to travel through the Delta last spring with my husband and children. He had been working in Tupelo and we joined him for Spring Break. We ended up in the Delta looking for the plantation house that once belonged to my great-aunt and uncle. Unfortunately, we were about a year late....it had been torn down for a new road. I treasure the one photo I have of the house and I'm sure others feel the same about the 'lost' places you photograph.The Subtle Detailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770739975416520334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-85951783316845049292014-03-27T20:22:11.532-05:002014-03-27T20:22:11.532-05:00Hi, love all your pictures!

It did major damage to the trees in our area and destroyed to East Webster school. That crop duster looks about like the one we see around here. It's fun to photograph them :)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798489606177883758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-72091392335884877732014-03-27T18:22:14.173-05:002014-03-27T18:22:14.173-05:00"It was the third of June, another sleepy, du..."It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day..."<br /><br />That song started playing in my mind. <br /><br />I hate it when beloved landmarks disappear. I pray some of my favorites are spared.<br /><br />xo<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-31768485806152228532014-03-27T09:38:07.821-05:002014-03-27T09:38:07.821-05:00Laying aside the expert photography, and the immed...Laying aside the expert photography, and the immediate recognition of the familiar FLAT vistas of those Delta fields, as well as the remembrances of all the myriad seasons of hearing and seeing (and smelling) those flighty little planes, like yellow-jackets buzzing the ground and teasing the trees---I purely want to say that THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO DO.<br /><br />Capturing and preserving those moments and scenes in time which will never be again---even the Spring flowers you so exquisitely bring right into the screen, or the animals and birds which would make Audubon sigh are all kept in your Treasure Box and shared with a free, glad hand.<br /><br />Just the keeping of the barn in its glory, its fall, and the towering monuments to its having BEEN, standing like turrets of some vast, crumbled castle against the sky---there's the price of the camera, the travel, the hesitant steps and climbs and trudges across fields and fences and unscouted territory, for the prize.<br /><br />Things we'd never have seen or admired or treasured ourselves are right here for the seeing and the returning to, and I hope you know how many hearts and memories you've touched with your talents. <br /><br />I keep on about a BOOK, but these are simply too wonderful not to scatter to the widest spaces. I'm awed by your gifts, for you have the eye, AND the Heart.<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.com
