Country Home in Drummonds

I photographed a home this week in Drummonds, TN.  It was an older home that made me think of my grandparents.  I could imagine an apple pie baking in the oven while I sat on the front porch swing drinking sweet tea.  

The property sat on 3 acres with various fruit trees and backed up next to a wooded area.  I can only imagine how pretty this place will be when the leaves change color.  In the back yard I can imagine a fire pit where hot dogs and marshmallows are roasted.

I took a partial shot of the home from the back door.  It's not really a typical MLS real estate shot but the composition reminds me of all the old country homes I would find as I roamed around the countryside looking for scenes to photograph.  While I was taking the photo I could see the scene in monochrome and edited it to bring the viewer back in time.

Photographing this property brought back a lot of happy memories for me.  It's on the market and looking for a new family to call it home.  If you're looking for a really affordable home in the Drummonds, TN area, this is the place.  For more information, check out the listing: 75 Caughron Road, Drummonds, TN

The Red Bush & Old Porch

This one always caught my eye as I drove by so I decided to go out early one morning at sunrise and photograph the place. So I'm standing in a ditch photographing with my tripod and camera and some lady comes along and tells me the people across the street were about ready to call the police because they thought I was deer hunting. Apparently people do that around here, they stand in a ditch along a country road and deer hunt. To me that sounds silly, but I really have never lived in such a rural area so some of the things that happen around here seem pretty odd. Also, it puzzled me they thought a camera with a wide angle lens on a tripod would look like a gun to hunt with. The moral of this story is when you stand in a ditch and photograph an old house someone may think you are getting ready to shoot a deer.
