To Grandma's House
My husband and I visited his late grandmother's old homeplace. It is on a small country road and abandoned. I bent to take a photo for my husband when this 'grass' stood out in my camera's eye. It reminded me so much of Darryl Wilkinson's "Inadvisable Stop" and was so simply beautiful that I had to capture it...

Thanks for this shot Sherry.. It was a great place to grow up. I can still hear the laughter when I go by it...From climbing the tree in the front yard to running in the garden, it was a great place.

Sherry,
I really like your use of depth of field, it adds a sense of mysteriousness that is very appealing to my eye. I am also honored to have my name appear on your photo. Your work is very impressive!

Thank you!

Darryl
