Sojourn Chronicles
The overnight snow creates images in black and white, and the camera further enhances it with B&W capture. During the summer, the South Lebanon ball fields would be teeming with kids and parents playing America’s game, baseball. But, the winter gives the fields time to rest and soak in the moisture from melting snow. The bleachers and bench seats wait for the crowds to return.

The silence of the snow falling is interrupted by the sound of the snow shovel. Scraaaaap, swoosh. Scraaaaaap, swoosh. Crossing the drive back and forth and clearing a path on the sidewalk until the layer of snow has been removed. Boots stomp on the garage floor, shaking off clinging snow and then the garage door descends closing out another episode of the routine of winter.

Winter slows down many functions. It is not just the animals that go into hibernation.
Red Stewart Airfield, Waynesville, Ohio, is one of the finest grass strip, grass roots airports you will find. Driving past many municipal airports will find little activity, but not at Stewart Airfield. There are always cars present and planes active.
But, things do slow down in winter, and grass strips in particular. Plowing the snow off can damage the runway. So, many planes sit until the snow melts. It’s a little like motorcycling.

Roaming around the countryside and visiting a farm or two can reveal a lot of potential for fine art images. Old tractors are great. Old tractors that look new again are fascinating.
While on the Barn Quilt Tour, I spotted this pristine Farmall tractor.
Yes. It runs. And, it proves there is more out there on the farm than John Deere.
