This week Nancy Merrill has asked us to share some photos of the country. Perfect timing as we just spent a few days in what is “the country” compared to where we live in the suburbs, with houses all in a row and little open space. To me the country means stretches of open highway with fields on either side and mountains in the distance

It means animals that are not cats and dogs but goats and cows
and flowers and gardens and beauty wherever you turn

Beautiful countryside. Looks so restful (unless you’re the farmer). Thanks for joining the challenge!

I think countryside and restful are synonymous! Except for the farmers, as you said!

In my career, I spent a number of years “on the road” in NY State, endlessly traveling the Thruway, Rt. 17, Catskills, Adirondacks and points out west, including Niagara Falls, Buffalo and… well, all over – and loved every minute, every season. Thanks for bringing back some memories. M 🙂

These are such relaxing photos, Lisa. I especially like the skinny red bird house and the garden photo underneath that one. Very pretty.
