Life's an adventure!

Not too long ago, I went out on a little local adventure. I decided that I wasn't ready to go home one afternoon, so I went out, and drove around near our home, a place out in the country I'd never went before. You see, when I get on a route, I just get on autopilot and never get off of it.

I'm stubborn that way.

I decided that I'd explore around in the country and see a few places I'd never seen before. I started about 2 miles away from home, and trust me, it's so flat where I live, I could still see my house.

New roads I'd never seen before....

with a little country entertainment.

Random wildflowers. No idea what these guys are.

The bottom side of a perfect dandelion.

And then I noticed, the bend, up the road.

I contemplated for a while. I didn't know if I was going to be intruding in someone's front door, or if this was a real road, it was dirt after all. I started envisioning myself hacked up in tiny pieces, or playing the banjo on the porch with a hairless boy.

I worked up some courage, and went for it....

and came to another curve, unknowing where it went either...

Around the curve took me to no place scary. Just a curving road, winding through bean fields, up and down hills, over a river, and around more bends.

I stopped at the top of a huge hill, and decided to stop and take a couple photos of some flowers I saw along the road.

Fallen branches.

Red buds.

Beautiful red and green foliage.


I decided to park the car in a little turn out, and explore a little more at the top of this hill, what I found was this beautiful overlook...

Full of yellow flowers, overlooking a newly turned field. I'm going to bring a couple here someday for photos.

I already have the whole session planned out in my noggin.

Then I noticed the redbud tree.

I love redbuds!

And random old barns

Where I took my own photo.
(for some reason I just like it this way)

There was a random little violet, all alone.

And a fallen log covered in moss.

It was time to go, before I got caught and yelled at. So I made my way back to the jeep.

Stopping one last time to get a pic of my feet in a field of clover.

Flip flops are not appropriate wear for adventures.


Right now I'm on another adventure, a bigger one. I'll tell you more about in over the next couple days. Stay tuned
