Fall Colors

One of my favorite activities is to jump in the car, and head for a drive in the country. This is something I remember we used to do as a family when I was growing up. Seemed like we would drive far away, and would be gone forever. I love a good country road. All dirt and gravel, no blacktop to be seen for miles. Better have a good sense of direction too, because that cow only knows the way back to the barn.

I have to wonder. Were those trips to the country on a sunny weekend afternoon, really just a ploy to drop us kids off in the middle of nowhere? Maybe mom and dad couldn’t get their stories straight? Or maybe they just couldn’t let go of those two adorable trouble makers bouncing around in the back seat? That’s probably why they never brought a camera along. Good thing I bring mine along each time I go. Like yesterday:

Better Days

Beautiful Red Barn

Who wouldn't want to come home to this?

Almost all of my snapshots are taken from the car window. One day, I will learn to take better shots. Until then, I’ll just have to enjoy the scenery while it goes on by.
