Description


Hello all ~! Back from my visit at my Mom's house in Mi. Had a wonderful relaxing stay with her at her beautiful new home and celebrated her 70th B-day. The second week into my visit we took a drive to Nappanee ,Indiana Amish country where it seems time has stopped from over a century ago and a simple life is preserved- a life nearly forgotten in today's fast paced world. We visited an Amish farm and went to see a play Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical, Carousel there. Had a great time and took lots of pics of the farm . It started to rain mid afternoon and I got completly drenched taking pictures lol . So when we were driving home my Mom stopped to get gas . I ran behind the gas station to capture the rainbow over the Amish farm and fields of corn , just my luck there was an Amish buggy and horse there! The sky and light were amazing and I hoped my Mom didn't mind me taking off on her. The farmer in suspenders and tall muddy boots( reminded me of a civil war outfit in fact) then return to his buggy (with his lunch from the gas station store) . I was surprised he actually said hi to me when I pointed at the rainbow above -he was so friendly ! Puzzled by his greeting as Amish usually do not talk to the "English" ,I asked the bearded farmer if he was Amish. He said "Nope , you see I bought this here rig from the Amish farm next door I told myself if and when gas got over 3 bucks a gallon I would up and buy me a horse and buggy, not gonna pay those prices". Then he said, " saves money, why don't you get one"? , I replied uhm great idea would love to have a horse but I don't think that horse and buggy would do very well on the southern Cal freeways !!!" LOL!!!! Have missed you all will try and get caught up on comments soon ( will be harder though my Mom got me these long fingernails almost impossible to type with :oO) ... Love to ALL!!! ((( BIG HUGS ))) ~Kimmers ! ♥ :O)

Wow - this has an almost heavenly glow and beauty. Really gorgeous in the classic Kimmie style. So grand to have you back. Glad you had a super time visiting your mom and happy 70th to her! Carousel is one of my all time favorite musicals. Hugs - CC

Kimmers, that is one heck of a shot. Almost looks like an oil painting. the colors are so vivid. I wonder how many miles to a bucket of oats a horse gets?

outstanding photo! What luck for you that you have the rainbow “gotten”! One must look twice, because one cannot believe that is a photo!

With the first glance on your splendid photograph, Kimarie, I am tried to write how all occurs like if, in its divine kindness, HE had sent its blessing on the farm "amish", for their harvest from grains! The shape of the clouds makes me think in more of that it's a court! Know why. Your stereotype is really a splendid summary of this which is the culture "amish", even if, little by little the underhand pollution of the modern world, gently makes them forget their origins. To arrive with their habits at living in an America of today seems to me to be an exploit as remarkable as to make to a splendid photo also, full with respect! Great thanks dear friend artist.

LOL at a horse and buggy on the California freeways. If the traffic there is as bad as it is here, near NYC, I'm sure using horse and buggy would be just fine. Heck, you could probably walk faster, lol. Anyway, welcome back, Kimmie. This is beautiful. I love what you did with it! I think the rainbow really adds just that extra magical quality. As always, a pleasure to see your wonderful work. Have a great day! -M :^)

It looks like it's poring a rainboe out of the sky. And that little bit of lighting by the horse is beautiful. A gorgeous country scene.
