The View from the Drivers Seat

Despite being past the peak season for the fall colors, Tennessee could not be more beautiful.  There is so much to look at and take pictures of--I'm getting better at taking them while I drive.  I just couldn't resist taking the one below of a farmer and his 2 dogs in an old Chevy pick-up.
I've no idea how many pictures of barns I've taken.  They are one of my favorite thing to take photos of.
      Scenery like this is as well.  

Of course it goes without saying that I really enjoy photographing the dogs while they are exploring and having fun.  Its been a little hard on this trip because they are constant motion.  But they do stop and recharge their batteries.

Todd has not missed a thing. 
  In true terrier form, he has loved and barked at all the sites and smells!
   
But I don't think Charlie knows if he's missing anything or not...
It's been a nice and relaxing trip to Tennessee. Tomorrow we head back to Virginia.  But today our goal is Ashevile North Carolina and maybe the Biltmore Estate.  We'll see where we end up.  Wherever we go, I will certainly be taking pictures of it.  Wherever your weekend takes you, I hope it's an enjoyable one!

  1. That big pasture looks like a slice of heaven. All cows should be so lucky. Glad that your trip is going well and some of the pups were able to vacation with you.

  23. Kim,
    Tried posting my last message and I don't think it work so I'll try again.
    Great pictures of your trip. The old barn and the farmer in the truck with his dogs is priceless.
    I also like taking pictures of old barns and house because I'm hoping to paint them one day. I figure down the road the houses may be torn down.
    You have a great eye for shooting just the perfect pictures.
    Enjoy you weekend with the crew.

    I had to smile at your pictures of our fair State, the colors at this time of the year are breathtakingly gorgeous.

  27. We are keeping our paws crossed for Jake. Sounds like there is little to be done about his wrist walking at this point. We just hope he gets to enjoy some good years in a loving home.

    How many dogs get to go on vacation with you, and who takes care of the ones who stay home? How do you decide who gets to go? And how is Jasmine?
