Beauty in the Backroads

If you know me at all, you know that I have a passion for outdoor photography. There's nothing I enjoy more than heading down the backroads with my camera.
You can often find me jumping fences, sneaking on to properties I shouldn't be, or laying in the grass, all in the name of a good picture.

I thought I'd share a few of the treasures I've discovered on those backroad drives.

We happened upon this place today on a drive down a country road. It sits at the front of a large farm property. It appears as if it was once a small mercantile.
I'm glad the owners of the farm kept it on their property. It appears they also keep it up. The porch had obviously been swept and the windows were clean.

Here are a few more I thought you might enjoy.

I love the way the spring sun brings out the vivid colors in nature.


This was in my own front yard.



Here's an old home I discovered on a drive a few weeks back. The sun was so strong that day, it was hard to get a good photo of this. I plan to drive back there now that everything is more green and get a better picture.
However, the subject was interesting enough that i wanted to show it to you anyway.


Isn't that a fabulous place?

I hope you've enjoyed these pictures. I'll be sharing many more with you from now on.

What do you like to photograph?

If you show your photography on your blog, please let us know in the comments so we can be sure to check it out.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter !

No matter how you choose to celebrate, I hope you have great Easter.
Me? I will be sending up prayers of thanksgiving that I have a risen saviour who has demonstrated more grace with me than any one person should be allowed.

I can't help but think of all the people I love who have passed on, and how they are at the ultimate feast today celebrating the resurrection of Christ, with Christ. I cannot even begin to imagine the magnitude of the celebration. As a lover of the Lord, I look forward to that time when I can see Him face to face.

May you all remember why we have this holiday and acknowledge it as such.

And for those of you with little ones running around the yard trying to find the ever elusive Golden Egg, please post pictures on your blog so we can all share in the fun!

What does Easter mean to you?
How do you celebrate?
Any great traditions you'd like to share?
