Today was overcast and a little cooler. It seemed a bit more like Autumn. I decided to pull over in a few spots to take pictures of the beautifully colour coordinated animals I see most mornings.
There are many more sheep than this, but these were closest to the road.
The same farmer keeps these cattle. They match the sheep very well. Even his sheep dog is this colour.
A little farther down the road I see this beauty.
These are his friends. They were a little farther away, so I played around with zooming in. I love when they are all out in the field together.
The trees have only just begun to change colour, little bits here and there. I am so glad that I get to drive through the countryside every day. I don't know how people commute to the city, spend hours on a highway, drive along congested roads. Some mornings I might meet four or five other vehicles at the most. I am much more contented when I am surrounded by wildflowers, birdsong, and a big dose of "green".
A great blog as usual. I never tire of looking of sheep especially when they're on the dinner treble. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Treey. I am not fond of lamb. Not even with mint jelly.
DeleteSorry about the spelling, but I've got predictive text.
DeleteJenn, Your drive is a pleasant one. I used to drive 25 miles to work...but in winter it would seem like a hundred and twenty. I hated snow, heavy rains and fog...the worst for driving. My sister and I rode to work a lot together...if we were in the same dept.or shift. We would take turns driving. Once I went into the trades...we never got to ride together. But I could visit her on my break. :) Wishing you a great weekend, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteEven though my drive is short, I've still gone through some pretty awful snow storms as well. Have a good weekend, too, Susie!
DeleteI have woods and a steep road into the valley to the river for my daily trip. We're both fortunate. Good to see milkweed along your verges.
ReplyDeleteI think people are much more conscious of milkweed these days. There is quite a bit behind our property, but I still only saw two monarchs this year.
DeleteOh what a lovely commute, and photos! I live in a city and walk to work everyday, which is lovely. I don't think I'd do well driving and sitting in traffic.
ReplyDeleteWalking to work is good, too. Thanks for visiting my blog! -Jenn
Deletewhat a lovely view; you are very lucky. I wish I was near something so lovely and pastoral. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! -Jenn
DeleteWe drove down from North Bay on Friday. Their fall colors are way ahead of ours!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed more colour in just the last couple of days. But yes, colours increase the farther north you go.
DeleteI like all the coordinated animals. :-)
ReplyDeleteI work in home support so have to drive to and from homes in my city all day. It is so exhausting. I can't imagine if I lived in a city any bigger than the one I live in. My dream is to move to one of the smaller islands nearby and retire.
I hope that dream comes true for you.
DeleteYou have such a lovely, peaceful view on your way to work. Sure beats the urban, concrete jungle!
ReplyDeleteThe trees are starting to change here in Maine. Most young people seem too busy to see them. It is good to slow down
