Golden Fields

Golden Fields
I drive by this field daily, and that tree always captures my attention, it seems like a perfect place to escape and read a good book. Last night I just had to stop and take in the gorgeous golden hues contrasted against the crisp blue sky. It was a treat for my eyes and I wanted to share it with you.

There is nothing like stumbling upon an open field. They are always so full of texture and life, truly a solid part of natures canvas.

It's amazing how light can shine behind something and make its beauty even more evident. It brings out details and colors, it shows hidden textures and depth. I love the feeling of being captured by new beauty.

Did I ever mention...I love barns, oh yeh, I think I may have once or twice. Haha. Well today I had a little time on my hands after work, so I set out to discover some of those beautiful buildings I love so much. I didn't have to look far, being that I live in the boonies I just had to drive down a couple dirt roads. These are some of my favorite pics from the day. Feel free to love them with me. Haha

another time another place

Have you ever looked at a farm and thought about what it would be like to live that life? Every time I pass one, all the unspoken wonder peeks it's curious head and I sit and let my mind drift to another time another place where that would be the life I wanted.
I've always been surrounded by farms growing up, I am sure that is why I am very much fascinated by them. It's hard for me to explain but it is almost like living back in the day where you worked with your hands and you grew your food. A hard days work consisted of waking up before the sun and having sweat pour from all your pores. Where at the end of the day you didn't want to go do do do, you just wanted to rest and be. There are moments where the idea of that kind of life still sounds appealing to me. Not an easy life by any means, but one that builds character through a daily pouring out of yourself. I think there is so much beauty that is lost by the busyness that our lives are often clouded by. We often overlook the majesty that surrounds us.
