While walking a rural gravel path, I heard a noise behind me....

Run or take a photograph ? Click !!!

The plane lifted just before it reached my location. :)

There is scarcely any writer who has not celebrated the happiness of rural privacy, and delighted himself and his reader with the melody of birds, the whisper of groves, and the murmur of rivulets. ~Samuel Johnson

Winter rural landscape. HFF

Have a great Friday and weekend.

Foggy morning on the way to work.

Even in the drought the Almond trees have bloomed. We had almost no rain all winter. The rivers are way down . Yet today was such a wonderful treat to see everything in bloom and all the baby animals frolicking about.

The landscape is a state of mind

Happy Truck Thursday

As I worked on the editing of this barn in a nearby town, I realized I had already posted a photo of the same barn taken on the same day, but from a different direction! We often take day trips to visit our son and his family, and pass by this barn both going and coming. Hopefully, you will enjoy it again with different light and editing! flic.kr/p/2b4roQs

Shot outside Shaftsbury, Vermont with the Olympus E-5.

No travel, no lakes, no mountains... That's the surrounding rural area where I live: farmhouse, poultry, abandoned farmhouse, trees, endless fields... It is not lazy, bored, or unmotivated, the mileage putting on my car was pretty high for the past winter, too much wandering for nothing... that's kind of stuff I have - with sky and a peace! ;))

An old barn, a silo, tractor and fence...rural perfection! Oh, and that mailbox....

с.Дунилово, Ивановская область

Деревянную шатровую церковь, освящённую в честь Успения Богородицы, из деревни Курицко, что на берегу озера Ильмень, можно увидеть в Музее деревянного зодчества, в Великом Новгороде. Дату постройки церкви – 1595 год – удалось определить благодаря проведённому дендрохронологическому анализу. В облике древнего храма несложно найти основные черты русских православных деревянных церквей XVI – XVIII веков. Прямоугольный сруб лежит в основе нижней части постройки, на нём прочно стоит восьмерик с шатром высотой семнадцать метров. Венчает конструкцию небольшая глава в форме луковки.

Snowing two days in a row, good workout shoveling snow on the driveway, also made me itchy feet to wander the rural area. Three hours driving along the surrounding countryside roads, stopping for photographing, the farmland, river, bridge… The blowing snow hit the face and lens, questioning myself, why not cuddling next to the fireplace with the drink in one hand and a book in the other hand while listening to the music… 😉

Have a safe holidays!

North of Picos de Europa the climate is cooler and much wetter. This is reflected in just how green the grass is in this shot from just north of Santillana.
