Country Life – Then and Now

After I moved into the house I live in now, MS had me down in bed. I had no interest in picking up a camera. My second year here was very different. I could not wait to find a new “simple” point and fire away camera, and that I did. My very first Nikon. After…

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Billie Crumly — NOTE  FROM RUSS:  The photos used today are the very photos (except the first photo with the barb wire) I made on my last car ride together with Mr. John and Mrs. Crumly. I remember it being a very hot, lower to mid 90 degree day.…
