Iowa's Loess Hills

Pronounced, 'luss', the beautiful, rolling Loess Hills

make up a large portion

of the western border of Iowa.

Bride Model

I made Maddi her very own bridal veil for her 'dress-up' chest.

She modeled it for me and with each click of the camera

she would change position and strike a new pose. :)

Hummingbird

This female Ruby-throated Hummingbird visits my delphiniums

almost daily, but she's a bit camera shy. :)

Taz/aka Grumpy

Taz doesn't like to be bothered...............especially for photos!

Hollyhocks

Childhood memories wouldn't be complete without remembering

the hollyhocks that grew beside almost every garage in the

neighborhood. Pink, red, white; their towering stalks were

abundant with beautiful flowers. If you were lucky enough to

have a push-on clothespin handy, you could make a doll, with the skirt

being made from the huge hollyhock flower.

Dreaming Chairs

Chairs atop a hill overlooking a beautiful valley, perfect for pondering and dreaming

Weathered

Old barn tucked into a hillside in the Loess Hills of Iowa

Pining

Chicken begs at the door to be let out, but as her name suggests,

quickly wants back indoors where she feels safe.
