I am fortunate enough that in many of the areas I travel through, I have the opportunity to return to them at some point in the future. I know at some point, my luck on that will run out, and I need to just start stopping and photographing these places of interest. The St. Matthews

Tucked among the trees at the corner of State Highway 171 and Eatman Street, the Grand Cane Methodist Church has that rural, picturesque look and feel. Having driven through this area of DeSoto Parish more times than I can count, it has always held my interest as a photographer. I have even snapped a few

I enjoy photographing cats. Mainly because we have 3 of them at home, and they sleep a lot (less movement for photography). Also, I like their prowess and curiosity about things. Compared to hummingbirds, they are relatively easy to photograph, and I take the opportunity quite often to make pictures of them. Recently, while dog/cat/house
While photographing the Original DeSoto Parish Courthouse, I noticed an imposing old structure to the northwest, just one block away, and I made a mental note to visit it before leaving. Turns out, the building was the (old) US Post Office. Based on nearby signage, this area is part of Historic Downtown Mansfield. I find
