Along a Country Road

I would venture to guess that most of us have certain routines that we follow.

And routines can be a good thing, for the most part.

 Friday mornings I routinely set aside to do my weekly grocery shopping.

I like to leave the house right after sunrise.

  When you get up with the chickens (even on your days off) this is not a hard thing to do.

I could get onto the highway but I prefer to take the more scenic route,

along this country road which is only a few miles from where I do my shopping.

These photos are from last Friday morning.

  

The road is mostly unpaved and off the beaten path, not to be confused with my road less traveled.

 I have taken lots of photos on this gravel road and have shared many of them here as well.

One of my simple pleasures of summertime is gazing upon a field growing high with corn.

It's not quite as high as an elephant's eye yet but it's getting there. 

And if you look really hard, you can see the corner of a fence in the distance :)

I didn't realize corn stalks have these really cool feet.

One of my first stops along the way was to get a few shots of this Canadian goose family.

I had seen them the week before but they were on the far side of the pond.

I was delighted that they were close enough to snap a few decent shots, although not the best.
Not that you can see it, but I was actually shooting between the wires of an electric fence.

Really... I swear.

You may recognize this hay barn from other posts...or you may not.
I find myself stopping once again to get more images of it.

I experimented a bit with different effects and angles.



The Queen Anne's Lace is in all of it's glory, everywhere you look.

Surely the Lord will allow it in heaven...

...but of course, no one will be allergic :)

Believe it not, there is a fence buried under the thick growth.

I promise :)

Gee, it's almost Friday again...
...time for my routine to start all over again :)
