The Scenic Route

Sometimes it pays to take the scenic route.  We've had some beautiful weather in Western PA this summer and this weekend I took advantage of it and took the scenic route home.  This really is pretty country and you forget sometimes about taking the time to enjoy the simple things.  I know, sounds so trite, but it's oh so true.  Here are some photos from my short adventure into the countryside.

The advantages to driving a convertible; pull over, point camera at sky, push the button.

There are some great farms in this country, loved this white barn!

Corn and wheat.

I love seeing these round bales of hay.

A friendly neighbor (took this one for you mom!).

This beautiful old oak . . . I'll need to find it again in the winter!

And closer to home, this beautiful sunflower.  I drive past these every day and will have more on them in a later post.

I hope you take the time to take the scenic route occasionally and are enjoying your summer!
