Ira said at 12:39 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: Aroma of ancient houses and old tree, which so it is pleasant to touch by a hand and to feel it warmly. And pine:) I very much like light poured from your last photos.

Lifequest22 said at 1:19 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Beaches often come to mind when thinking of Florida, but Florida also has some impressive horse county.
Patty :). Lefty--i knew you'd feel at home here. Doreen--the pine trees are actually in the state forest across from the ranch and are part of the camp grounds. So much great wood with texture and lines i was in heaven.
EMA said at 3:17 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: Nice angles and perspectives. Great tour! Thank you!
JuDeck said at 5:25 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: keep coming back to the last shot...it's so Sally Mann - in her landscapes
Lifequest22 said at 5:33 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: Thanks EMA. Jude--wow-that's a real compliment--i was born the same year as Mann. Hmmmmm!!!
Mirella said at 5:46 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: Many beautiful details and old things; excellent perspectives. Very good!!!!!!
Snooway said at 8:03 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: Lovely, especially the last two. The second one with the porch also strikes me
Eduardo.affonso said at 9:09 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: The last 6 ones are absolutelly great. Not to mention the first ones, of course. It look like Texas to me, not like Florida.
Jantass said at 9:38 p.m. on Sep 18, 2008: I LIKE THE WOOD, WHICH BEAUTIFUL MEETS ANCIENT AND RUSTIC... EXCELLENT IMAGES .......................................( ME GUSTA LA MADERA ,QUE BELLA SE VE ANTIGUA Y RUSTICA ...EXCELENTE IMÁGENES )

Lifequest22 said at 9:30 a.m. on Sep 19, 2008: Thanks for stopping by.
Pkeener said at 11:49 a.m. on Sep 19, 2008: love the tree. evokes wide expanse of the western plain. who woulda thunk it was in FLA?
Lifequest22 said at 12:20 p.m. on Sep 19, 2008: Thanks, Pam. Florida also has cattle ranches.
Patgf58 said at 4:13 p.m. on Sep 19, 2008: Great Tab. Linda yeah most folks dont think of Fl but anything outside of hurricanes, beaches mouse world and bad vote counts, ( see the latest in Palm Beach Co. ?) but Florida is 2nd or 3rd in beef production in the US. Really like the second from the last. Thanks - Pat
Lifequest22 said at 7:16 p.m. on Sep 19, 2008: Hey Pat. thanks, Glad you made it-you always know all the FL facts.
AliDar said at 3:50 p.m. on Sep 20, 2008: Not only are the Cartwrights missing, but they seemed to have taken their horses and cattle with them when they left. ... But I see a Grill at the watering hole, so if there's an icebox with a couple of cold beer in it, I'm sure they'll be a moseying along soon. The last too shots are my favourites. The field with the tree in the center, (reminds me of the title credits for the tv show, 'Six Feet Under') is pastoral perfect - soft and dreamy. Same goes for the last shot, and I'd definitely pick that site. :)
Maz2001 said at 10:01 p.m. on Sep 20, 2008: Great shots. Bushnell is a lovely town. I love the Red Barn there.
Cowgirl said at 11:29 a.m. on Sep 21, 2008: Love this brings back old memories when i used to go to horse shows all over FLA. YES the GRAHAM FAMILY OWN THE CATTLE RANCHES!!!!!!!!!!
Shenresi said at 6:45 a.m. on Sep 22, 2008: My fav of the Cartwrights was Hoss, and a fear for the Horses " Oh, no, not Hoss"-lol-
GeorgePL said at 12:09 a.m. on Sep 23, 2008: Very cool. I was surprised to find out that this is Florida! They seem so Montana.
Lifequest22 said at 7:49 p.m. on Sep 24, 2008: Thanks all.... yes Dar--they took those dang horses with them. :) Jane--I've never been to the Red Barn but have been to the Webster Flea Market. Bobbi---People are surprised to learn that Florida has so much horse country.
Gerardfotografeert said at 3:06 a.m. on Oct 23, 2008: By seeing this tabblo a temporary regression hits me, Hoss, little joe, very beautiful LInda A lovely variety off awesome photos.
PhotoPop said at 8:50 a.m. on Oct 23, 2008: No bikini clad Cartwrights, no flying weathermen, no marsupials, this is not Florida. As they would say in Boston " Ya think I'm RetAAAAAAArrrrrrrded," Nice job cowgirl.
L810th said at 7:32 a.m. on Nov 14, 2008: Hi Linda, A quick browse through your Gallery space and this Tabblo caught my eye. I love close up work and especially photos of weather timbers and rust (rustic). No's #1 #5 and the last one are my favourites and judging by the number of visitors here with good taste, you certainly keep good company. Mike.
Lifequest22 said at 7:01 p.m. on Nov 14, 2008: --Thanks Foto_Photo Gerard and Pop.
Thanks for stopping by Mike for a little visit to the ranch. And thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.
