Nature at it's very finest! 
All my life I said that I would live in the woods, far from a town or neighbors. I have a house on 30 acres of land, seven miles from a two red light town. My neighbors are few. I know them well, but we rarely interrupt the solitude of  each other. I'm living my dream! God loves me. I shot this photo last spring, it's what I see no matter what direction I look to every morning of my life! #MyBackyard #trees #forest #woods #blue #sky #landscape #nature #foliage #colors #pines #oaks #sweetgums #maples #sunlight #natural #country #outdoors #Alabama #America
Visitor's to West Alabama, should definitely take some backroads just for fun!  
I've been passing by this thing for years, telling myself that I needed to get a shot. I finally stopped last month, but I didn't like any of my shots, so yesterday I took a few more. It's a John Deere, but I don't know the model or the year. Do you?
