hello hello! last sunday hubby and i engaged in a partial day spent being "sunday drivers". you know the type. that car meandering in-front of you when you have somewhere you need to be quickly and they...well...they don't!
yep. that was us! because that day the coating of heavy frost made for some scenery too lovely to pass by. so buckle up and join me for a little recount of the sights! and you don't even have to chip in for gas money! enjoy!
s u n d a y sight seeing...
BREAKDOWN of what's going on {above}
top left corner...despite the gray day this swamp was spectacular! the white forest in the background was set off by the earthy colored reeds....
clockwise. a tree from within. this silo is home to that tree you see. yes. it is growing right out and above it. how many years do you suppose that took?? or maybe they built the silo around it. which sounds silly but you just never know. guess this will be the old thought of which came first...chicken or the egg??
ok. cheating a little with the next one. this truck was actually spied in nebraska on a past road trip. but had to show today. because i'm enamoured with its charm and color. darn good thing its securely fastened to the building.
lastly...the leaning tree. it's skeletal silhouette highlighted by the blanket of frost.
oh there's more...continue on my friends...
here we go again!
the large photo {above} was what started this all. i spotted this earlier in the day by my lonesome. and just about caused a pileup with my rubber neck glance and hasty u-turn. the weeping willow nearly made me do just that. truly...i have never seen something so simple and yet so spectacular. and the red fire hydrant was like the cherry on top. it just made it that more special!
right column...
top. this pig has more than fair share of bullet holes. but spending years being used for target practice can do that. still a fine looking ham if i do say so...
middle. windmill in the distant background...offset by a run of barbed wire fencing. green acres is the place to be...
bottom. i'm just a fan of how this sign popped against the scenery. and the fact that it once was used for a four way intersection and since recycled for a different location. minus the fourth street.
glad you tagged along on a little road trip today! hope you enjoyed the journey! all the while doing so from the comfort + safety of your own "seat". with not one person honking their horn @ you! that was saved for the girl making the abrupt u-turn in the street. guilty as charged. but what a sight to see!
have yourself a fabulous start to your week!
WOW! I am not one for cold weather but with all that beauty even I would have ventured outdoors!!! The trees....oh the trees!!!!Thanks for sharing your Sunday drive!! It was great!

There is a funky little restaurant in Kirkwallk, Orkney, Scotland that has an "American" theme and your picture of the car on the wall reminded me of it. It is full of American license plates and a couple car grills.
I so enjoy your blog found through "Beyond the Picket Fence".
Thanks for blogging
