I have been a photographer since I was a young girl. If there was a need for family photos, I loved taking them - and of course being in them too! Now my favorite place is in back of the camera capturing this amazing country.

Craig and I live in North Carolina now. We have lived in California and Ohio as well. We lived and traveled in our motorcoach for over five years.

When we moved to North Carolina just about 5 years ago, our son, Chris, told us that I would fall in love with the state and all I could photograph. He wasn’t wrong. It didn’t take long before we started discovering wonderful country drives, beautiful waterfalls, mountain, and the ocean.

The other day, we went for a country drive. We wanted to keep this trip under 2 hours. Our country drive took us past the barns you see on the right side of this article and on the front page.

While there are many barns that have fallen in to disrepair, there are so many of the old barns still in use. I love shooting both, and feel it is capturing a part of American history.

Many of the barns have flags like the second barn on the right. This one has the 13 colony stars and they proudly display the flag for all to see.

We love watching the farmers out working in their fields. While we live in a small town, it is just a 5 minute drive until we are in farming country. Crops, cows, pigs, horses, you name it, we pass by it. We are so thakful for the farmers in our country. God bless the farmers, they the unsung heros.
