I took an Independence Day journey across four states to reach my childhood home and visit my family for the long holiday weekend. It was a soggy and messy drive but I made it safe and sound. This area, bordering two southern states, was all I knew until I left home at nineteen. Now, I share a taste of it with you. There will be more to come.

You were lucky indeed to have that backdrop for those 19 years.
Indeed. 🙂
the barn so red with a back drop of trees in grey tone..its so contrasting in theme..the green fields of Alabama, the horse you ride on free..climb up the old tree and look for old timers parked beneath..remember the hwy 64..it takes me home..at ease
Thanks Kalabalu.
you are welcome 🙂
I went to school in Northern Alabama for some happy years. Your pictures are nostalgic for me. They bring back the beauty of the hills.
Nice Donna. Where did you go?

Home sweet home. Hope the sun came out for the rest of your stay.

Home, no matter how far, how long, to or since is a particular kind of sweet 🙂 Insert superlative of your choice photographs 🙂
Ha. Thanks Ella.
I love the red barn. Such a DEEP red!
yes. It was probably more deep because it was raining and wet.
Well you really brought it out.
Love the old cars
Me too. Thanks Dan.
Great pictures from familiar countryside. I hope you had a good meaningful visit.

Beautiful pictures. Having grown up in KY myself, I do miss the beauty of that area.
