Oldest Parish in Clermont County

MIssy and I have been taking Sunday drives now that spring has arrived. They started out as scouting trips looking for a yet to be disclosed purpose, but they've become more of a traditional Sunday drive, complete with the aimless wandering about that gets people yelled at on Saturday. Can blue hair be far behind? But, hey, I bring the camera and suddenly they've become low-grade photo expeditions, so who knows what we might find?

We found this old lady tucked back off State Route 50 on a Sunday Drive last week. This is the oldest Catholic Parish in Clermont, County, Ohio. Not much significance in its location but the fact that it was built in 1839 and still in operation in this rural setting is impressive. They have one mass a week, at 8am on Sunday morning.

Sets are coming...

Sunset at Mount Storm A Few Days After the Ice... Storm

Several days after the Ice Storm of '07 I found myself in Clifton at Mount Storm seeking a sunset. I set out to do the basic sunset image but quickly began fantasizing about doing something different, which had been my focus thorughout the entire week of shooting. I found this evergreen sagging from the weight of the ice upon it and decided to park it right there. I became so absorbed in the details of the tree I nearly forgot the sunset behind it. What drew me to this image was the ice capturing the late day sun rays.
