Love this series.
The boat at the edge of the woods is my favorite. It just strikes me as funny, seems out of place there.
Love your backroads.. my fav. the stool I want it for my garden! :)
Your town looks straight out of a Mark Twain! i'd say this series is my favourite on your blog. :)
Ah! It's green! I envy that you have back roads and greenery such as this.
You can be proud of living in your county and enjoy such beautiful sights. I love the light of the sun falling through trees and the exuberant vegetation. The choice of objects like the stool in the yard, the signs and specially the boat (the one I prefer) under the warm light has been great.
Love the Land Docked, but all are great, feel really very nice there
I got a kick out of the Texaco sign...Brings back memories (yeah, I'm THAT old)...but all of the photos have a touch of nostalgia.
Intersting serie in the forest.
Again ... same as the series on the bicycle .. I love these kind of images. They are very interesting to me. Maybe because I like to document things in photos. I photographed lots of stuffs when I went to visit my hometown early this year. All that reminded me of my childhood, my parents, my home, etc ... I took the pictures of them. And I know I will appreciate them even more years from now.
Looks like a great walk, glad we could tag along :-)
The sign of the commonwealth travel is really nice. Nice backroads shots!
Nice series once again...

Nice greens in the shots, lovely capture!
i like photo number 3...
A very pretty vegetation and decorative elements.
great collection of shots!
These are all envy-producing shots to us city folk but I think the boat pic is my favorite of the set. You really are most fortunate living there.
ooo wonderful series, I love all the photos, they give me the feeling of calm and peaceful :)
mmmm I think you are living such a nice calm life there, the city life of Athens has really started to get into me...I would LOVE to live in your place than this grey city Im living now :)
looks like you live in a very pretty part of the world! lots of trees and it all looks so green..cheers :)
I love that Texaco sign. Nice capture. Very Julian-like. Cheers.
I like the old Texaco sign: it reminds me of a simpler time when one be able to actually afford gasoline. Nice series.
lovely series....nice framing , i like the rusty stool in the middle of the garden...great find:-)
These shots have a nice old fashion feel to them. Very lovely.
The boat is a lovely image. Nice title too.
I'm loving these 'country village' shots thjat you're bringing to us. Keep it up!
that sign is too cute.
Great colors - a really nice look into daily life.
