tara // etsetara - o meg, this post makes me miss joplin!

thanks for the lovely photos.
Janet - Isn’t the school in Marion County off 50 Highway?
Lori - So sad about the heart rock. At least you have a picture of it. My kids find heart rocks for me too. My 6 year old boy brought me one today and said “mommy I found you a heart rock but it was muddy so I washed it off in a mud puddle and dried it on my shirt. ” Sweet boy. Oh and the old, rusty forgotten places make me so happy too.I need to stop along the way to enjoy them as well.
colleen - You are good … photography is awesome.. so glad craig let you stop… we are all the richer!
Jen - District 34 schoolhouse…hmmm…my grandma is from Chapman. Was this anywhere near there?
Mel - You have such a great eye – for color, for photos, for arrangement – I always love seeing the world from your point of view.
Julie - Looks like you all had a fabulous day. Love all those old rustic buildings, so sad that many of them are abandoned.
chasity - so many beautiful photos.
looks like a wonderful day.
Traci - That’s a beautiful heart rock! I always look out for heart shaped rocks too, for some reason. You’ll have more. :]
