Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us.  Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!Â

No problem seeing the changes in a beautiful spot. In fact, it is fascinating to see the many variations of this theme.

The mist, the pond, the reflections and those wonderful old brick silos make this a fantastic rural capture. Excellent!

Wonderful capture. Since this is the only the second time I've ever seen this bucolic scene I'm far from being bored. I really like the placid lake, that could pass as a mirror.

That's a special photo. Nothing boring like... WOW!

It could almost go through as a "lost city" in all its mystique rising above the mist. OK, I get carried away, LOL! It is as tranquil as it is secretive. I would love to see the silos mirrored - excellent!

Hi Odie :))) Its about time I swung thru your gallery huh? I haven't been around much at all; with hockey keeping me so busy all the time. I have been browsing through your gallery tonight and you have some GORGEOUS shots. Beautiful stuff of our countryside :) I hope all is well with u ..

I wanted to comment on this for a while, and now I do...I think morning shots of open fields, etc. are challenging because it's so easy to make them 'sweet', it's the kind of image that's easy for the photographer and easy for the viewer. But this is a really delicate & beautiful capture, it's so far beyond what commercial photography does with these scenes, and it's one of the reasons I liked it from the start. (It was a fav waiting to happen.) The sweep of the pond is picked up effortlessly in the sweep of the mist, and the sky picks that up in its naturally softened hues. You've got a beautiful slope in the land, and it seems to slope upwards a little at the other end (a nice inclusion), and the reflections are just perfect, not too many, beautifully placed, as is the treeline in harmony with the silo. Above all there's a Jodie 'fineness', 'raffine', a delicate refinement that gives it a perfection; and that, in the end, is the final caress of your eye. Simple, beautiful & loving, and a fav from the minute I found it some months ago...
