I know I’ve mentioned this before, but the county where I live now is the most beautiful place I’ve ever lived. I had a quick trip to the dentist this morning, and thought to bring my camera along to capture a lovely view or two. This is what’s across the street from my dentist.
Further to the right, a church nestled in a grove of trees. It was – still is – a clear, bright day. The sky an almost startling blue with not a cloud in sight. The only sound, the slight hum of the tractor carrying across the fields, and the occasional car passing me by.
I snapped a few photos, but then just stood there, loving watching the farmer go about his mowing, likely the first cutting of the year. I probably should have waved. Out here, you can be pretty sure he’d wave back at you.
Looking down the road, heading west. On a day like this – cool, dry, sunny, and inviting – it would have been nice to go down this road and explore more, see where it would take me. But life being what it is, I had other stops to make, other things to do. In fact, in all the years I’ve been going to my dentist, I’ve never once taken the time to follow this beautiful road.
It’s the downside of our lives sometimes … not accepting an invitation because we’re too busy. The backroads are always a great invitation; I need to open my schedule up a bit.
That’s a great location for a dentist – I’m sure that mitigates some of the pain of having to go! I hope you do follow that road some time and tell us where it led you.

Driving to and from my dentist, especially “the back way” behind Spruce Run Reservoir, definitely lightens the load. I think that’s an excellent idea – I will have to make my next appointment on a day and time when I can do that. It can only be lovely.

These scenes are lovely indeed, Jeanne. I hear you, about just standing there, looking on. I would too!
