We've been passing by lots of beautiful countryside on our mini road trips lately. I always want to take photos, but oftentimes there isn't really a convenient or safe place to pull off the road. But on this particular day, I did pull off on a side road and get out of the car. The cutest houses dotted lush, green hills, and in the distance I could see what looked like a little village with a church and more houses. On the other side of the road, sheep and goats grazed, and there were tons of big, beautiful trees. I can only imagine how amazing these views must be when the leaves change colors or when the hills are blanketed in snow. Sometimes I forget what a beautiful part of the country I live in until I look back at photos I've taken. All the more reason to keep exploring and keep shooting. xo, Mary
Beautiful landscape! I love the gentle hills and that grass certainly looks healthy!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I would love to look out my window and see green hills like that! :)
DeleteBeautiful! These photos look as though they should be somewhere other than the US-- like Scotland or Ireland or something of the sort!
ReplyDeleteI know, it did remind me of the sort of landscape I saw years ago traveling in the English countryside. Can you imagine what it must be like to live in one of those houses? Very different view from Alexandria or Baltimore! :)
DeleteBeautiful. There are so many great photos of landscapes like this that I wonder if people just pull off the road at every chance - which sounds scary to me! haha. But on our road trip we took advantage of lots of turnout areas.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Illinois is so desperately flat. I love seeing places with rolling hills.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view! The rolling hills and all that green!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so beautiful! And it's near DC?! It kind of looks like Ireland. Like Melissa said, Illinois is dreadfully flat and uninteresting. Gently rolling hills are where it's at.
