A lovely scene Vicki. Great composition and tones. Where exactly is "your neck of the woods"? #7673784

Vicki L. Filippin June 24, 2009

Thanks, Marisol.
I'm in the Midwest..a small farm community about 50 miles west of Chicago. It's far enough away from the city to be quiet and uncluttered, yet close enough to hop on a train to enjoy the sights and sounds of city life. #7673839

Great composition Vicki! I like that it`s not your typical landscape crop, the impression of approaching the barn from below seems stronger this way I`m sure! Love the sky too! I`m keeping track of all the places we`re visiting on our virtual trip... I`ll post our whole thing on the 1st of July! #7674540

Vicki L. Filippin June 24, 2009

Thanks, Christine! I'm looking forward to seeing all the places we're at, too. Hoping to spend some time tonight looking at all the entries.

I love the lines and rich tones of the hosta (Garden Stripes) but I've come back to this as my favorite of your June entries, Vicki. The title says it all for me -- plain and simple and beautiful for that. Very nice composition. #7702357

Thank you so much, Nikki. That means the world to me! #7702458
