School had just let out and they were waiting to cross the road.

A very apt title. The little one facing the camera looks like she had a bad day or one of the older ones told her "no" about something she wanted to do.

Think she spotted the photographer and her mind became confused?!
I don't know - we were a couple cars back at a stop sign and I don't think she saw me inside of it. I think she was just cold and tired after a long day at school and wanting to get home.

I love the shot Sue. I wonder if there is a community nearby. It looks a bit busy to take the little ones in a horse drawn buggy.

This was just outside of Kidron in Holmes County, Ohio which has (I think) the second highest concentration of Amish in the country. Kidron is home to Lehmann's Hardware which is famous for supplying non-electric items to that community. There are several dozen Amish farms near us as well.

That is interesting Sue. It is a well taken shot. I know many Amish are rather camera shy. Over here we have heard about the Pennsylvania communities but I was not aware they spread so far west over Ohio. Is there any interaction between the Amish and non community folk or do they keep themselves pretty isolated?

They are friendly but keep pretty much to themselves although many of the men work at "English" businesses away from the farm. They have separate schools which only go to 8th grade and generally have very large families.

There is a similar sect known as the Mennonites that had a community in southern Middle Tennessee close to where I grew up. Very close to the same believes; dress in black; no decorative items on the clothing, like buttons; no motor powered transportation; ran their own home schools. They would however, ride in motor powered transportation.
