My sister and I grew up used to the idea of getting in the truck or car or jeep with my stepfather and just going for a ride. No purpose whatsoever other than to just ride around and look and see what makes up the world around us.
I love to ride around and gaze out of the window and take in everything. Ohhh and ahhh over houses and breathtaking views. My sister and I are not the only ones. My brother-in-law likes nothing better than to get out and just ride.
We did so Sunday afternoon.
Steve did the driving and I don't think he was too happy with me having him stop the middle of the road/highway/intersection so that we could make photos. While my sister and I drive from the backseat and used our imaginary brake pedals we did manage to end up exactly where I have been wanting to go since moving here.
We live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We live in a place that is so beautiful at times it takes my breath away. I stand in awe at the tops of mountains. I can feel the power of God when I look out across all the He created.
These are some of the things we saw.
We saw cows giving birth.
Land for sale.
Backs of houses.
Fronts of houses.
Houses that could be seen only from the height of another mountain.
I also love, LOVE where I live and feel incredible when I just take time to take it all in, like you did.

Felt like I was in the car riding along seeing everything through your photos. Being from a large family the view from the middle seat was never very good, I so longed to sit by the window. No, I didn't stick my head out like a golden retreiver given the chance.
First visit -- really beautiful photos from your drive. We love Sunday drives but don't have a car now in Manhattan... So it is walks through Central Park on the weekends...
Cheers.
Oh i love to ride around too. Love it there is nothing better on a beautiful sunny day!
I love your baby bird and his ice cream!
Just gorgeous!!

Beautiful scenery...and beautiful babybird ;)

Ooooh pretty! (And sticky!)

Love the theme...and the photos.
Amazing photos.. sounds like such a wonderful time. Very cute little bird too :)
I am SO jealous! We have no 'mountain' views here. Closest we get to that is the top of the ramp going from one highway to the next. :(
