The Beckoning ~

It was a
new-to-me road
that beckoned,
calling my name softly.






 I am glad I heeded its call.

Ruth Hiebert said...

Oh yes,that road needed to be explored. Love those back roads and the beautiful scenery they yield.

Oh there is nothing I like better than a new to me road. My Sweet Wayfaring blog is all about that ... all the things I find down new to me roads ... not letting life pass me by.

Thanks for showing us what you found down your road .. in that delicious autumn light.

I love taking new roads and this one is gorgeous. i am glad you took it to. I like Rustic Road better than Scenic Route... the colors of the foliage are fantastic and i can tell you were Way way out in the country by the numbers of the Ave and St

Love the "Rustic Road" sign

They should also caution for breath taking beauty!

Thank you so much for taking me along. I am refreshed.

Love the street signs in what appears to be a field...also the note under the first sign "rustic road" have never seen that before

Steve Gravano said...

Beautiful! IT's always fun to explore with camera in hand!

Susan Cowger said...

Amen and amen. I love the cattail bursting forth!

Side roads and scenic routes. Love it.

Rustic Road indeed. They could have named it Wondrous Road.

Isn't it neat when God does that? [We didn't hear Him tell us to NOT go down that "dog" road. Don't THINK we ignored Him. THAT was a crazy and scary time.]
