Description
Hello all ~!
Back from my visit at my Mom's house in Mi.
Had a wonderful relaxing stay with her at her beautiful new home and celebrated her 70th B-day.
The second week into my visit we took a drive to Nappanee ,Indiana Amish country where it seems time has stopped from over a century ago and a simple life is preserved- a life nearly forgotten in today's fast paced world. We visited an Amish farm and went to see a play Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical, Carousel there. Had a great time and took lots of pics of the farm . It started to rain mid afternoon and I got completly drenched taking pictures lol . So when we were driving home my Mom stopped to get gas . I ran behind the gas station to capture the rainbow over the Amish farm and fields of corn , just my luck there was an Amish buggy and horse there! The sky and light were amazing and I hoped my Mom didn't mind me taking off on her. The farmer in suspenders and tall muddy boots( reminded me of a civil war outfit in fact) then return to his buggy (with his lunch from the gas station store) . I was surprised he actually said hi to me when I pointed at the rainbow above -he was so friendly ! Puzzled by his greeting as Amish usually do not talk to the "English" ,I asked the bearded farmer if he was Amish. He said "Nope , you see I bought this here rig from the Amish farm next door I told myself if and when gas got over 3 bucks a gallon I would up and buy me a horse and buggy, not gonna pay those prices". Then he said, " saves money, why don't you get one"? , I replied uhm great idea would love to have a horse but I don't think that horse and buggy would do very well on the southern Cal freeways !!!" LOL!!!!
Have missed you all will try and get caught up on comments soon ( will be harder though my Mom got me these long fingernails almost impossible to type with :oO) ...
Love to ALL!!!

What a light!
What an absolutely outstanding shot. This is what I call a Mozart moment. When everything in the universe moves perfectly. When the planets are aligned just for you. This is an understatement of being in the right place at the right time! Spectacular! I've shown this to my children as they came in the door, their mouths literally dropped open. They thought it was a painting! What is even better, they suddenly understood my passion for photography and why I always have my camera with me! ~Michelle~
wow the Lord guided you there. super shot of the glory.
Very well done. Love how you brought out the colors!
This is one of the most beautiful scenic photos I've ever seen. I love the sky in this and the clouds, and the horse and buggy are in perfect harmony. I'm from the Midwest, not far from Amish country, so, this is near and dear to my heart. Excellent and welcome back!
Beautiful find and capture. Fantastic cloud formation. I love how the skies are opening up for you here. Very nice.
