a couple weeks ago, while I was waiting in line at the grocery store, I happened to pick up the latest Arizona Highways magazine off the newsstand. the cover photo-- a view of Sedona awash in a fresh coat of snow-- had caught my eye. as I quickly paged through it, I came across an article that featured some great scenic drives near my hometown of Flagstaff. feeling too cheap to purchase the magazine, I filed them away in the back of my head instead, right next to the few marbles I haven't lost yet, to save for a rainy day when we were looking for something to do. well, that "rainy day" happened to be earlier this week, when a case of cabin fever forced me to escape the confines of my four walls and head out on a drive. after feeding the kids lunch I jammed them in their car seats and away we went.
before long, I was greeted with this picturesque scene, complete with an old, decrepit barn and a rundown chicken coop. perfect for this week's theme, "something old." (there was also a vacant house on the lot, not pictured, but maybe it's for sale? talk about a gorgeous view!) I imagine those mountains in the background must be pushing a kajillion years old, too. I mean, they're at least a few years older than Gary, who I briefly thought about photographing for this week's challenge. considering I'm only 36, his 41 years sound ancient. kekeke.
and for inquiring minds who want to know, here is a rundown of the stats:

Great picture-love the stats too. I love this "project 52' -so fun to look at all the pics while I sip my coffee. Everyone had great ideas. Can't wait to decrease my work hrs so I can join! Donna
Awesome filing system Jessica! Love the shot!
We have the same looking barn right at the back of our development, and I went to take a picture of that, but it has a high gate all the way around it. So I couldn't get a good shot. Love this one!
One of my favorites of yours :)
I forget that I need to check your blog on top of your IG! :)

Hey Jessica,
Is the 24-70mm lens your go-to?
Just wondering what lens you use the most when on trips...like your california trip over the holidays. Are you switching lenses?
Sorry for all the comments.
just love your stuff :)
