<\/center>It’s been a while since I posted a photo in this series. I have a soft spot in my heart for old farmsteads, although I grew up a city kid in the mountains, and North Dakota has many for me to photograph. This farmstead sits southeast of Bismarck.<\/p>\nWith a new baby and more than enough other irons in the fire, it’s not easy to find subjects for my photography habit. Most of the pictures I post here are taken while out running errands or on the way to or from work. Winter brings its own challenges along, but I had a particularly fruitful trip around the outskirts of town this weekend. This is only one of the sights I captured along my way.<\/p>\n
It’s neat to be able to find so many pictures from right around our beloved cities…that’s the reason I founded this blog in the first place! I can’t count how many times I’ve heard that Bismarck and Mandan are boring, or that there’s nothing to do here. I’ve never believed that.<\/p>\n
Here’s a note to you teenagers out there: nobody is going to grab you by the ears and shove entertainment into your skull.<\/em><\/strong> There’s plenty of cool stuff to see and do around here, you just need to take the initiative and explore it. You’ll learn to love the Bismarck-Mandan area as much as I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s been a while since I posted a photo in this series.
