Views from the Country

I often try to take pictures of things while riding in the car. Its hard to get ones that aren't too blurry, but here's a sample of a few taken the other day while hubby was driving.

I thought this one was interesting because of the neglected home and the power pole in the rear view mirror. Creepy. You can tell the house had been painted not too many years ago, but had been let grow up with weeds and small trees.



A close up:



Wouldn't it be a beautiful home if it were remodeled and fixed up?

Just for fun I played around with it with the Picnik website. Picnik is closing its site, so its totally free until some time in April.

Happy Tuesday!
