Description
Abandoned in Oklahoma by Debra Martz When I made my first visit to the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in northern Oklahoma I didn't expect my first stop for photography would be an abandoned house and windmill with nature taking it back. But shortly after turning off hwy 38 onto the gravel road leading into the refuge, this scene captured my attention so had to stop. I marveled at what a beautiful home this had been in its day and wondered why it was left to deteriorate. Now, I feel the need to stop every time to see if I can capture it differently. Today had storm clouds approaching and I had noticed a flock of Brown-headed Cowbirds in the field eating grain. They would all take to the air briefly and return to a different spot on the ground. I setup and wished for a flight over the house and to my surprise, I got my wish!!

Really love these old houses. They make a person wonder why they were left at all. This one looks like a very special place.
