Take Me Home Country Roads

[red]

My "neighborhood"

 

[SparklingWaves]

I love that song by John Denver. It really just gives me goose bumps.

Oh, you live in "God's Country". These pictures are beautiful. I wish my neighborhood looked like this. My dogs would be so happy. I hope to one day live in area where my dogs can run free as their were meant to be.

Thank you so much for these beautiful pictures. What a nice gift for a glorious Sunday.

This beautiful countryside is only 55 miles from NY City

I get to appreciate both the city and the country every day

 

[Shimmer]

That's awesome.

I'll take pics out at my mom's house today and show you the COUNTRY!

Show me the country ... real country

Hey I'm ready to sing "This land is your land, This land is my land, From California To the New York Island"

absolutely love it ... yes it's God's country

 

[Shimmer]

I envy that, I've never been there or seen it.

Red:

Great pics! The pic of the Llama (or Alpaca-not sure) made me laugh. It made me think of Tina from Napoleon Dynamite! "Eat your dinner Tina! Daaang!"

Shimmer:

That driveway pic brought back some memories. When my dad was first developing the property we lived in for some time, we were the first house in the area, which was very forested. Until they paved the driveway, I had about a quarter mile of what felt like dried up river bed to navigate every day. I swear that ride knocked several brain cells out of commission.

Beautiful pictures Red & Shimmer. Funny, I always think of NY as extremely fast-paced & busy (like the pics from your office window). It's great to see a different point of view

I had to walk that stupid road to catch the bus for like 8 years. SUCKAGE. And if it was flooded and we'd bought groceries? Hello carrying 14 bags nearly half a mile. You couldn't even slog a wheelbarrow through that crap. :/

I can top dirt road

There are bears up my way, and lots of them

One day I was getting my kids off to school, opened the front door and there was mama bear, papa bear, and the cub on the tree. Like you think I'm walking out that door?

Chased them away with Oreos

works everytime .. well almost

We have bear, emu, beaver, copperhead, rattlers, bobcat, turkey, small cougar, cottonmouth, coyote, fox, etc. I tell you, you'll nearly shit your pants when a bobcat jumps across the hood of your car while you're driving down the driveway.

no copperheads in NY, sorry

yes, we've got turkeys, and big ones. At times they hold up traffic as they cross the road. And those freakin' deers are all over the place

... I swear, forget Bambi and all that nice stuff, they are pests

never seen a bobcat
