Greetings and Good Day to You!
Welcome to the Pics By Lis website!
My name is Lisa M. Ford, and Pics by Lis is my business. Being a Sixth Generation American Family Dairy Farmer, I live and work on my family's farm, on which I grew up with my cousins and a vast variety of our critters. I feel my life and family's lifestyle have given me a unique perspective in today's world; from growing up as a farm kid, living, and working on our family farm to the privilege of interacting, daily, with Nature and many of Nature's Curiosities.
As my father always says, “Family Farmers are something of a rarity and soon will be extinct like the dinosaurs, something only seen of in a museum.” This perspective is a bit of something I would like to share with others. And henceforth came the creation of Pics By Lis.
Although for years, I have been writing, drawing, and photographing all sorts of things, Pics By Lis officially came about in 2000 as a combination of many of my interests. And, although Pics by Lis has created or worked on other websites in the past, this is its first official web site, created in 2007.
(Many Thanks to my friends for the site)
I hope to share a bit of my life and environment with you through my books, stories, photographs, graphics, and such, and hope that they relate to you, in your life and environment.
Fellow Farmers and Naturalists might recognize a few familiar faces and scenes, reminiscent of your own farms, homes, and experiences. Those who are a few years or generations away from the farm might find it reminiscent or gain a little insight to country/farm living, and nature's curiosities. Maybe you will look a little closer at your own environment and notice nature peeking through at you.
I hope that anyone who visits this site will smile, maybe even laugh, and reflect a little more. I, also, hope that the Critters and I help to improve anyone's day.
