Bob, these 'sketches' are very well done. The last one (my favorite) does look like a farm scene. A country lane leading to a farm.

Thanks Yooper. Yep, it draws you right into the scene doesn't it?

I really like all those images Bob but the last one is award winning in my opinion. Frame it and hang it.

Thanks infocus. Here is another view of the winding road, but in color from this summer:

Excellent set of images, Bob. I love barns, fences, etc. as well - I think I need to visit your part of the USA.

In my kind of photography, I share the same affinity for being outdoors as do the farmers in the county. I've been recording their surroundings in my sketchbook.

I concur with others. Your work is meticulous and beautiful. I like the scenery photos but the one with the horse and winding road are my favorites. It must take a lot of detail work to produce such beautiful photos. I appreciate your sharing them with us, Bob. I always learn so much from you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I am grateful to have "met" you and the other Hoggers.

Thanks roder. It's ironic that we think the grass is always greener somewhere else. For me, I'd give anything to be closer to the mountains.

Thank you Edie. Just curious ..... did you spot the horse in the lower left side of the pasture? I hadn't realized when I framed the other horse that she was even there. I'd contemplated taking her out, but decided she was an interesting design element.

Thanks ebbote. The fun part is deciding which photos fit in with a "set".

Thanks Tazzy. You seem to be in the majority then ..... the winding road is doing very well for itself.

I like these a lot. I have a difficult time with sketch in my programs. You have inspired me to work harder at it! Beautiful series..

Thank you Amy. I have always liked the idea of sketches but before now, I was not happy with what the programs were turning out .... specifically, I have tried Topaz Simplify, Akvis Sketch and Akvis Draw, but didn't like the results. Then I tried Smart Photo Editor which is up to 6,180 separate presets, and found one that worked perfectly, "Graphic Image 004".

Love the picture of the old barns and farm stuff as it reminds me of when I was a kid on the ranch in North Dakota, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sac-Jack. I see you stayed out west, but Sacramento is probably a little more city-like than a farm in the Dakota's
