Solitude and Beauty

Many may think that rural living is a lonely existence, but the solitude and beauty of it is unparalled. I enjoy majestic views, fresh air, clean water, no pollution, traffic jams, or loud neighbors. My dog really enjoys it too. She is not bound by fences or chains. She has free reign to run as far and wide as she likes. Here are some pictures of the views from my house. The thing that is most enchanting about them is the beautiful depth of colors that can be seen during sunrise and sunset. These colors aren't a once-in-awhile experience, rather they are something that can be seen almost everyday through the spring, summer, and fall months.
