This week should have been a lot of fun for me with rustic being our subject for You Capture, but I put it off and then the weather was cold and then I’d put it off again and then it would rain and then I put it off again and then I finally said “screw it” this cabinet in my kitchen is rustic.
And it is, isn’t it?
But then tonight, Brian and I took the kids out for dinner and shoe shopping (for me!), which is rare (the dinner out on a school night) and since we were already out driving around and the fact that the sky was blue and the sun was brilliant, well, I was encouraged to drive around a bit to take some photos. And I’m so glad I did.

I love your shots! Something about rustic just stirs my heart and makes my mind wonder. Awesome! Have I told you how much I love this weekly challenge??? Well, I do! A lot.
I love your rustic kitchen cabinet, and the sun in the last
picture is awesome.
my hubby took me riding around the countryside to get some barn pictures and we had a great time… we used to have lots of old barns around here but most are gone now…kind of sad….
as always, your pictures are WONDERFUL!

oh same here – I kept waiting for the perfect day and the weather has not been helping! Too much rain – I wanted to get over to our old church, but never did. So alas my house had to do. AND that latch / window is in your house? I want to see more!!!!!!!! Love your outing photos!
Beth, I love how you captured the sun in the last picture. Do you shade your lens to keep it from glaring?
I love your cabinet…and the rest aren’t so shabby either!
I love these shots, Beth! Great subject!
Wow. I love these photos and your words. I didn’t get anything this week. Just a photo I took of my mom’s old dog that I thought looked rustic but it was too blurry.

Great captures, Beth, as always! That kitchen cabinet must be a new addition, because I can’t for the life of me remember where it is in your kitchen! Do tell
Love, love the old truck and sun flare shots over the barn. You’ve really mastered them, girl!
I was a total loss of creativity this week and didn’t participate. I was too busy painting and cleaning and all that fun stuff. Can’t wait to see what everyone else came up with…and next week’s challenge? Letters? I can do letters!
For waiting till the last minute, you did a great job.
I have to agree with Nell, this is one of my favorite things all week!
Swing by the IE Mommy and check out my “attempt” at Rustic.
You are an amazing photographer!
Your pictures are great again! I love how you focused on the hardware on your rustic cabinet in the kitchen and I love the picture of the car without an engine. (I hope you don’t love it because you think it reminds you of the cars we used to drive.) And I’m very impressed with the detail you captured on the silo. They’re all really good pictures!
Okay, I lied, I am participating. I was inspired by looking at what others had done.
wow. these are great. well done. i especially love the first one out of the outdoor scenes. it’s colours, being so light in an evening set up, work really well. its quite uplifting
I know your house is not very old, so I am impressed at how you made new look old in that photo.
I had some tough times with this one… not alot rustic around me but I did the best I could… dont fail me ok? lol
Hi! Thanks so much for the challenge. I just found it a couple days ago so the best I could do was finally getting around to PP on an image I’ve loved for a couple weeks. Thanks for giving me motivation to post more. Your pictures are gorgeous!
Beautiful captures Beth
I love the car! I was all ready to shoot some farm stuff…and my batteries died. I was not impressed!
Great shots! I love the cabinet. This one was hard for me. I’m looking forward to letters. Fun.
I definitely wish the weather would have cooperated this week. There’s so much cool stuff around here…
I love that cabinet! I meant to tell you that last time I was over, but I was too busy stuffing my face with chocolate.
Great shots! I think this “rustic” theme stretched our brains.
You have such mad skillz! I am so jealous…
I love rustic, too. I drive by an old house frequently, and I’m always tempted to stop and take a picture of it. It’s beautiful. But I chicken out because I’m afraid they’d come out and yell at me.
RUSTIC ROCKS!!! Old barns are my absolute FAV….which is why your 3rd shot is my fav!!! Wow, that little bit of sun coupled with the old blue wood of the barn, etc……incredible capture! They are all fab but that is aaahhh, yes….awesome! This was a great challenge….the weather didn’t work for me either this week. But I love your challenges cause they keep giving me ideas for captures…..you ROCK!!
Oh wow …. your pictures are so peaceful, allowing one to dream no matter what the theme is. Great job!
Ooooh! I love that first one, Beth! And the last one, too. I like how the sun is just right. Did you do any editing to that one? All of them are very nice.
I had a really rough time with this one!! Like, REALLY tough! Way to inspire, Lady!
I am in love with that old truck! One of the best things about Texas for me is the amount of small towns with old stuff sitting around in it.
I enjoyed this one, but I did have to look up the definition before I went out! Ha!
Great photos. I especially love the old car.
Awesome photos, I love the rustic theme this week.
These are fabulous! I see rustic for sure in them. Love the old truck!
you are so creative with your shots!! Thanks for hosting this, it makes me look for picture that I normally wouldn’t!
Love this challenge…tho, I’m fashionably late.
I love the sun flare ~ I tried to do a few shots like that the other night & I couldn’t get them to show up right in the shot. It’s like the camera kept diffusing the light or refocusing to even the tone. I have my white balance on outdoor, would that mess up the shot?
I love how you captured the sun. Fabulous!
The cabinet shot turned out great. I also really like the first barn shot – great job on the flare!
Your photos are always so lovely.
Oohh, I love the photo with the sunburst – great shot!!
Oooh, I love that one with the old silo. They are all really beautiful pictures, Beth. As always.
My first time here, and first time taking part in the challenge.
Love your photos – great take on rustic.
Love your photos! I just found you and can’t wait to go out and shoot next weeks. I joined in today too.
I didn’t get a chance to get out and snap anything for this week’s challenge. But I’m looking forward to next week.
By the way, your shots are AMAZING. Love them. You could sell some of those!
That would be an awesome location for senior pictures! Or even engagement or wedding (mood contrast)!
I love them!
