I'm a farm girl who hasn't lived on a farm for almost 50 years! I lived on the Oregon coast and on tiny islands in the western Pacific, but for the last 35 years, I've lived in a rural community just 25 miles from where I grew up. When I look for photographic subjects, I often drive into the "country," which is actually close to my house. Today, it was the "loop" through farmland from Indian Creek to Willow Creek and back home by the (rural) highway 84. It's even better when I convince my husband to drive for me, as he did this afternoon. I'm happy to join in on the new
Rural Thursday blog hop.

I too love driving through rural Oregon, so many wonderful things to see. Great shots! Thanks for stopping by my bog! :)
I just love your new header of those tall grasses in the late afternoon sun. Glorious!
I was amused to see that friendly donkey face looking back at me. There is something endearing about donkeys Well, until they open their mouths to communicate! Eeeeeks!
All gorgeous!! The last one really speaks to me, though. Oh!! Those golden wisps of tall grass. LOVE!

That donkey is a sweetie -- at least he looks like one. Great captures Evelyn. Thank you so much for sharing at Rural Thursdays! :)
tall wisps of golden grass, the light in that shot is beautiful!!
i think farming is in your blood, you either have it or you don't!!
Beautiful afternoon drive. I have a loading chute similar to that one, but I think any animals would fall through the bottom it's so old.
That looks like a great place to go and browse for some lunch. I'd really like that tall grass!
That last shot of the sunlit grass is beautiful! But they're all good, of course!
Wonderful shots. I really like the last one a lot. Though that Donkey is pretty cute.
Great shots. I love the donkey. Wonderful expression.
