photo heavy post on country road beauty
… continued …
In order to get much of anywhere in my little community, you’re ‘forced’ to take a meandering country road surrounded by acres of hayfields, mountains, and livestock.
My favourite days are those where I’m not in a rush or meeting a deadline. Stopping to take photos of nothing that turn into something does it for me just like a junk DIY.
Here’s a little peek at my homeland. Hope you enjoy these!
Doesn’t this photograph resemble some world famous painting? It’s something about those trees… I gasp every time I drive by them.
And then there’s ‘my’ little red rustic shed lost in a field of tall grass. I just want to chain it up to my truck bumper and drag it home.
The last two are virtually the same photo. The 2nd one, the only difference is I’m on my knees. It really pays to try different stances.
Sigh… I’d bet the owner of this shed has no idea how famous it is in my eyes. 🙂

Wow Donna! Reminds me of Montana in the summer..
Beautiful!!
One of the biggest daily joys in life is enjoying the landscape and scenery as you go about your daily business. You have so much to soak in and love here! What a blessing!! Thank you for capturing it so beautifully and sharing it with us. {I’m in love with that little calf, too!}

Amazing photos! Your part of the world is spectacular!

Donna your photos are just gorgeous!! What a beautiful part of the world you live in ~ I am thinking I would be driving around alot 🙂
Those mountains in the background are just amazing. And I think you should hook that shed up to the truck, mostly because it would make for a great story.
So pretty. So lush & green. The baby calf is so precious. I love white faced calves. Thanks for sharing. Breathe deep every time you pass by.
Wow, these pictures are beautiful!
Beautiful pictures! Makes me want to take a road trip. Plus, a photography lesson from you would be nice!!!
These photos are stunning Donna! They make me want to jump right in … go for a walk … have a picnic and day dream. Thanks for sharing them.

Hi Donna! I enjoyed your local scenery very much, especially the little red shed! And those trees along the slough are so perfect! You live in a beautiful part of BC. Have a great day! Pamela
That barn is a photographers heaven! Love your pics! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful photos Donna, I think we (I’m just across the border) live in a gorgeous area and your photos really do it justice. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, Donna! Now I just want to jump in the car…Road Trip!!
I love your country photos and although I live across the country from you, I have a similar scenic drive to get anywhere. In fact I went out today to get some groceries and thought I really should take my camera but I didn’t since I was so busy. I pass by cows, sheep, horses and some beautiful old barns I’ve been meaning to take photos of but never have. So I get home and read this post… I guess that’s a sign for me to take the time to take some photos!
Beautiful photos! I agree on the shed! There are some around here (I have to use country roads too) that I just love.
*hugs*deb
Our “worlds” are very much the same-only no mountains here. Just flat, flat land! Beautiful photos.
Love these and I love country drives too. It can be just around home or on new roads… just love it. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂
Beautiful Donna…♥ the one with the 3 cows!!
Masterful photography to say the least, AND gorgeous scenery in Canada…lucky you!
that was a wonderful journey. thank you for taking us along. love that little red shed. it is in great condition, do you know what it’s use is? pump or well house maybe?
love your pictures!! and yes i agree there is something about that pictures that triggers a memory of a famous painting.! love the pics!!!
question what camera do you have?
I have a Nikon D3100. It’s a nice beginner SLR that’s pretty user friendly. Thanks for the kudos!

I love Canada scenery and you have captured so well!
I AM SO JEALOUS!!! You live in my dreamland.
Donna, What a lucky girl to live in such a beautiful place. It does my heart good that you seem to always take the time to enjoy what you are surrounded by. One question…what is keeping you from pulling into the driveway and finding out about that little red shed? Who knows what mystery lies within, and maybe it wants to come home with you, too!!

Haha… oh how I wish! It looks to be some sort of shed protecting all things electrical is my guess. It’s a landmark at this point! Well, to me anyway. 🙂
Nice photos! I especially like the scenic river with the trees. Thanks for sharing.
I can see why you want to take the little red shed home with you; it’s adorable! There is nothing like the open, country spaces. I live in the more populated region of Kansas in the US, but love driving west through the Flint Hills and the plains. So many beautiful places to see in the world. Thanks for sharing some of yours.
Thats why we live here!
I was JUST in the most gorgeous country side (and seaside) escapes ever. And yes, I was in your country experiencing it. While I certainly have beauty close to home, I cannot believe I’ve lived this close to Canada WITH A PASSPORT and just this past weekend, for the first time, made it to the Gulf Islands. Lots of driving and ferries from Seattle(ish) to get there and worth every moment. TO the point of me wanting to make EVERY weekend a Canadian one.
Lovely country. Even better people. I must get back and definitely get your thoughts on where to shop, where to stop and take photos (along every road, really) when I’m there.

Nice!
We love the country roads we stay on them when we go places as much as possiable. Love your pictures. Have a great day. Denise
Lovely pix. You live in southern BC, right? I am on Vancouver Island, so we have similar surroundings. I love country roads so much! I’m determined some day to live out of the city. Thanks for that nice little trip, I enjoyed it!
Thank you for refreshing my memory of the Fraser Valley. Such a lovely landscape and you’ve captured it beautifully. I do miss B.C. sometimes 🙁
Ahhh, those photos took me away. Thank you so much for bringing us along on your stroll. I am breathless by the color palette of the green/blue and pop of red. They work so nicely together.
