Document-Assignment Two

Yes, this is my third entry for Document-Assignment Two.  I had several ideas, wanted to try them all and like to see what they look like on the blog, so here is Number Three.

I live in a rural area known as North Sewickley Township.  Over the nearly twenty years that I have lived here, I have come to appreciate what makes this rural area special and realize that the things I claim to not like, I actually do enjoy from time to time.

This arch is on the Connequenessing Creek, in a different spot from the photos in entry Number Two for Assignment Two.  However, the trolley from Assignment Two also ran on this bridge.

This is Old Stonewall Golf Course from the service garage, the only place I could pull in and take a photo.  Old Stonewall is a crazy-expensive golf course built directly across the road from another golf course, Connoquenessing Country Club.

I don't know this guy's name, but he lives along one of my running routes.  He and his partner usually stand next to each other but facing in opposite directions.  I wanted to capture that image, but the horses started getting weird when I got close to them, so this is what I could manage.

These cows live along the same route as the horses and again, when I started to photograph them, they began to get weird; snorting and moving toward me.  I snapped about three photos and got the hell out of there.

Down another country road, the silos in the background were the subject of my outdoor white balance comparison.  I saw this piece of machinery the last time I was there, so I've had this photo in my mind for a while.  The piece of machinery is called a "harrow," and according to my husband's detailed description, it "picks up grass."

In North Sewickley Township, if you don't step right (as an inhabitant of my running route), you could end up here.  This is the new and improved Paul's Market that features fantastic cuts of meat and a wonderful local family.
