"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Farm Roots

There is nothing like the farmland of Wisconsin that pulls at my heart strings. 

Midway through my visit....I spent a night with my sister LaVonn and her husband Tim on their Evansville farm. I am rooted in life on a farm and will always be drawn to the country landscape.

  1. Your photos are stunning, MaryAnn, and I find myself dropping roots down into the earth and shoots up towards the limitless sky, imagining growing up on a farm in a large family and having those magnificent early years to pluck one's heartstrings throughout life. wow.

  2. I remember those white weeds/flowers as a kid. We would pick them and mom would put them in a vase with food coloring in the water so the flowers would turn color.

  3. I grew up in Michigan and we visited my grandfather weekly by driving through miles and miles of farmland. Holstein cows, sunflowers, corn, wheat, red barns, silos, farmhouses, and vast skies. Your photos are wonderful reminders of those days.
