Recently, I went on a day trip across North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Sometimes, what we really need is a drive to appreciate the things that surround us everyday yet we may not notice. It’s the things that this country was founded upon, the earth that so many have worked on to help make this place the place that it is. Although, I live in what I call “the big city” now, it’s so refreshing to venture out into the wide open spaces and just take a breath of fresh air. It’s what those Dixie Chicks sang about not so long ago… Here’s a little glimpse (at Part I)…
Call me crazy but I had to pull over to grab some of the following shots and I’m really glad I did. When I took the lower photo, the chains or hoses (?) were ever so slightly making noise in the light breeze.
Peanuts anyone?
I wish I could’ve pulled over to grab a better photo of these horses. This isn’t even a portion of them. Hundreds and hundreds of horses. It was amazing!
A littler earlier, in Texas off highway 377… if you look closely that sign most definitely says “Booze”. Just makes you want to pull right in, doesn’t it?!
And a little later, still off highway 377 this place was asking you to pull right in… even though I’m still not exactly sure what it was…
And somewhere in between…
By the way – can someone please explain to me what’s up with these trees? Bottom halves of trees in river. This is probably a “she’s definitely from the North” comment but help me out!
Come back next week for a few more pictures from the trip including the town of Tishomingo and Oklahoma sunsets. These may be some of the best I’ve seen!
Today I’m linking up with Communal Global, The Jenny Evolution, Photography Essentials for {Wordless Wednesday}.
