I just call them 'photo shoots' and only our dog Sasha accompanies me - she has all the patience in the world and loves to go for a ride (to the point where we have to spell, not say, the word 'ride').<br /><br />Keep working on the dream to live in the country - we did it years ago and have never looked back ! You couldn't pay me to live in the city, all cooped up like chickens ! ;-)<br /><br />Great shot Chas and nice effects.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095516510953968940.post-44138128311189357892010-10-13T17:24:50.519-07:002010-10-13T17:24:50.519-07:00I do those kind of drives often.

And they had ponies that were their only friends--barn cats of course.<br />I never did find any of it a disadvantage and still many years later live this way.<br />Dream on and it will happen.

Makes me what to join you, to find that place where life is simple; a place where the greatest concern is whether to swing on the tire swing, or walk along the tree line that borders the north pasture.<br /> I think we all have those kinds of dreams; some of us get to live them. Keep that place alive and you may find your self there some day.

I love your photo and here's a suggestion for you regarding wanting to live in the country, write down what you want and put it into a wish box. The country has so many positives yet there are a few drawbacks as I'm sure you're well aware of but the peace, the solace and the two finger wave are well worth the few drawbacks! <br /><br />Have a fantastic Tues.
