I’m not fond of long distance driving, but stopping along the route for picnics and photo shoots makes it enjoyable. I love the scenery and enjoy my hobby of capturing the moments.
On our way to Connecticut we stopped for gas and a bite to eat, I met a lovely lady who was very knowledgeable about sunglasses. I gave her my card and hope she writes! 🙂 This was my traveling outfit.
I saw this quaint little A-frame cottage on the way there and simply had to stop on our way home to take a photo. I could live here, I don’t need a mansion to be happy and actually prefer a cozy, clean and well-decorated home–by a river!
A view I would enjoy looking out my kitchen window. We followed this river along the highway for miles and miles.
Covered bridges always fascinate me, I love walking through them: it gives me a nostalgic and romantic feeling. Reminds me of Bridges of Madison County with Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.
My traveling outfit on the way home: new black and white top I bought at PacSun and black slacks from a dollar store in Torrington.
I have taken photos of old church buildings and this one was worth a little detour, from ca. 1830s.
Derelict old buildings make interesting photos, but in real life they give me the willies.

Interesting A-frame designed cottage. I wonder how the interior looks

I think you could make friends where ever you go. My hubby says I do that all the time, just start talking to strangers, that people start talking to me. I think I got this gift from my moms side for sure. You look lovely, really pretty in te floral top and black pants. I so agree with you, don’t need a mansion, my hubby and I are considering later in life the possibility of a log cabin .
Have a great week,

It is great to travel with a son doing the driving…..we certainly relish David driving us places.
Rivers, covered bridges, old churches and you in the photos…..all impart a sense of serenity and tranquility. I relax when I read your blogs.

WOW Ralph, you have a keen eye, I didn’t notice them. If I had I might have bought them. You’re right they’d go great with my outfit but then I might see the world through lemon eyes and does that mean everything would look sour?
Thank you for stopping by! 🙂

lol. I hear women suffer a lot to look beautiful. You are sugary enough to counteract such a thought my friend 😀

Thank you Ute! The scenery is worth the drive and I always say, the journey is part of the fun, not just the destination. 🙂
