something drew me to taking a photo of this home in the main street. It was to do with the rustic exterior and the beautiful thriving rose bush
... oops, I hadn't realized until looking through the viewfinder, that the front door was actually open, and a light on inside. On my way!
storms up ahead
chick-pea crops
..more big wheels.

That second photo looks exactly like a place I stopped at in west Texas, except there was no roof. That little house is so neat looking with it's sun blistered paint peel. You're in my kind of country now!
Nice post! Love the shot of the old home with the roses.
The countryside is beautiful! I like the little house. It looks like it's been there for quite a long time.
Nice set of road trip pictures.
