Welcome to my little part of Virginia. I'm was born a city girl, but I'm developing such a soft spot for the countryside. How can you look at scenes like the one above and not be smitten? There's just something about a field dotted with hay bales that makes my heart sing.
I love to find them in clusters too!
And you guys already know that I have a fondness for barns. Just look at all those white windows!
These wild raspberries are growing all over the borders of our property. We've started harvesting them, and boy are they yummy. They usually last until the week of July 4th or so. I freeze them to use throughout the year. This year I'll try making some raspberry sorbet.
This guy came for a visit - he wanted some raspberries too.
I'm so sorry this photo didn't turn out more clear. I was driving when I spotted this doe and baby far in the distance. It was a hazy, humid day, and I zoomed in as much as I could - can you see the baby drinking it's mother's milk?
I found this growing on the side of the road. Don't know what it is, but it's lovely... in a prickly sort of way.
These wild lilies are blooming in huge masses all over the place right now. Aren't they stunning! I think I might dig a clump up and put them in my yard.
Another shot taken while I was out driving. I couldn't resist the way the sunlight was playing through the trees.
I took this one last night. It was shortly before dusk. I love the way the setting sun made the clouds glow in 3 distinct colors - reminds me of cotton candy.
Just a few minutes later I was able to capture this wonderful shot. I just love it when the sun beams break through the clouds. I can't tell you how many times I've seen something really beautiful and said, "oh darn, I wish I had my camera", and this time I actually did!!! :)Well, thanks for visiting my little part of Virginia - hope you liked it!
