Sojourn Chronicles
The barn has seen better days. At some point in its history, someone decided it was not worth repairing or the upkeep. The structure was left to face on its own, the years of seasonal changes, stormy weather and all that mother nature could throw at it.
How long will it be before one very stiff, gale force wind will topple it leaving it in a pile of broken timbers and lumber? How long before the roof caves in? One year? Ten?

It’s Earth Day 2011. It’s also Good Friday, and my own personal Fine Art Friday. To fulfill these days–celebration, worship and art–I set out with the camera and took up the microphone.

The level of the Little Miami River is at a normal stage, but not too long ago, it was high with possible flood warnings. Usually, receding water leaves marks, but on this stretch of river front, debris hangs in the trees, deposited by fast high water approximately 10-12 feet above normal.

In January or early February, the idea of Spring is distant. Enough so, that the question of whether or not a ground hog sees his (or her) shadow becomes more like worship. Either way, it almost always is six weeks away, and then some.
As Spring migrates north, trees bud out and the outdoor activities begin with preparing lawns, landscaping and parks for the increase of humans ending their hibernation indoors.

The Arizona Diamondbacks used to have a training facility in Tucson. I had visited on several occasions to photograph. However, the Diamondbacks built a new training facility in Scottsdale, and the ball fields, although very well kept, seem silent.
With my travels to Arizona, I stopped at the training facility to reminisce and photograph.
