Country Living...

ront

We live about 20 miles out of Spokane, WA. I have a 60 round trip commute 5 days a week to work and home, and that does add up in $$ spent on gas, BUT, country living , is the life for me. I just have to walk down my road a couple of hundred feet and have some very nice scenery and lots of quiet. Here are a couple pics from this week end. I hope that you feel the peace.

I'm with you on the Country Living, I couldnt imagine living in the city, it might be for some people, but not for us country boys

Nice shots, Ron. Beautiful light in the sky. You can keep the country life, however.

I often think as I drive through some of this beautiful scenery, "Boy, it sure is pretty, but I don't know if I could live here." I'd miss Seattle's cuisine (especially the seafood) too much.

That first one is stunning Ron. +1 for the quiet country life. I have been pestered this last 2 weeks with black bears wandering through my property on four different occasions, all in broad daylight. I've encountered them on the patio and the deck on numerous occasions in the past.

Why don't you shoot 'em! With your camera, that is.

Thanks for the comments guys:).

Mahesh, I know that a lot of people really like the city life and that is great. You do get out into nature a lot though judging from your photos, and I am glad that you do!

You can see some of them here Taken with my wife's point and shoot. They had tipped over the trash barrel and made quite a mess.

Unfortunately they don't have a fixed schedule and most of the time I am working on my property without a camera when they wander in and are long gone by the time I get back to the house for it. We have a deck off the second floor and I used to hang the feeders from it. One time I was in the house and saw a large male coming toward the feeders. I ran down to the family room, grabbed my camera, ran out on the deck and leaned over to shoot him. He was standing on his hind legs forelegs upstretched looking right at me and I took the shot. Of course the cf card was in the computer card reader.

Ron. I am with you... love the country. That first shot sums it up. I don't know how people can argue with that.

Oh Jack, that is just sad!! I sure have done it before though!! That is why I am very thankful for the 2 memory slots in my A700. There is ALWAYS memory in one or the other.
I will look at your other pictures.

Thanks, Ron

I really like that first shot, the lines of the fields and the lines of the clouds work well together. I also like the slight side light of the sun on the field in the background.

Thanks Ron. I really liked the lines in the wheat also. I had been watching for several days for what I thought was a nice sunset where things seemed to come together for a nice photo.
