I have to smile when I read this week's quote, because I just returned from photographing 50 plus Beautiful Horses of Pennsylvania! My sister Sharon traveled with me throughout the state. I had my MapQuest notebook filled with directions, but we relied mostly on my new Garmin nuvi for directions from one farm to the next. And sometime it seemed to be directing us "where there is no path." With our tight schedule, we were not in the mood to follow the advice of this Ralph Waldo Emerson quote!

If you have a Garmin, you know there is a little blue car on the screen that represents your vehicle, and a purple line that indicates which road to travel along. The car moves along the purple line as you drive along. It really is super! And for the most part made our trip easy.

But on at least two occasions our little blue car was moving along in a snow white field -- no roads in sight in the little screen! Where were we??? On a dirt road somewhere in Pennsylvania!

I'll be blogging more about our adventures in Pennsylvania soon. I've got to go look through the 6,400 photos and choose 50 that will become the paintings in the series! I love this part of the project!!!
