I had a hankering yesterday to get lost, to explore. I took a random road off the interstate in the middle of Ohio farm country. I wasn’t sure where I was going or what I was going to see. I wandered through endless farmland, near abandoned buildings and around one lane curves. I didn’t see a soul for hours. Eventually, I found my way back home and to familiar surroundings. Of course, anyone with a smart phone can never truly be lost. Take a drive, get lost and see what you find.
Damn! Loving the black and whites with a splash of color!
Best kind of days are the days you just go without a plan and explore what’s right under your nose 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
That place look the town where i was born and grown up! I love it!
Where did you grow up?
In the countryside of Modena (Italy). The landascape is similar
Wow. I need to visit Italy. It’s one place I’ve never been.
Beautiful!
Thx.
I love getting lost and finding new places. I went completely off the map in Copenhagen once (my tourists map that it! I went further than the cartographer thought any tourist would go!) I wouldn’t like to do that in some areas, but Copenhagen seemed pretty safe. 🙂
Thanks Hannah. Yeah I think most of Scandinavia is safe to do that in.
Knock, knock – who’s there? Somebody with an eye for beauty…
Sheila. Thanks so much.
Reblogged this on dominicspoweryoga.
Thanks for the re-blog.
Glad someone else deliberately gets lost! Great pictures, as always.
It’s great isn’t it?
looks like a fun trip!
It was fab.
i love your comments that accompany the photos – they always seem so apt! Great to see pictures of everyday ‘ordinary’ life!
Thanks so much. 🙂
God & Country is an amazing picture. For a second, I thought it was two pictures next to each other. The contrast between the two sections is stunning.
Thanks for your kind words.
Definitely amazing!!! I want to do that more, just roam and see where I end up and catalog my travels by way of photography too…such an inspiration you have given me by sharing this, thank you!
Thanks and you should. but be safe.
True, especially these days, need to watch where I wander and/or have someone to wander with me. 🙂
Beautiful photos and a wonderful idea. Thank you
Thanks Jillian.
Hankering, I love that word. Great photos, once again.
Thanks Rosemary. You ever had a hankering?
Beautiful?
Thanks… 🙂
These are some really fine photos! I really like that God and Country one. Interesting. I also like that word hankering, but here in Texas it would be hankerin’ without that g. Thanks for sharing.
Well in the South where I grew up (TN, AL, MS) we don’t put a ‘g’ on it either but I had to pretty it up for those who don’t speak Southern or Texan. 🙂
Nice pictures!
Thanks. 🙂 Guess your countryside is still white.
Yeah it is. I promise to get out and take pictures soon…
Love how you have played around with a dash of color here and there – beautiful gallery.
Thanks viveka.
Gorgeous countryside. It looks a lot like Kansas, only without the nice architecture.
Yeah I was thinking it looked a bit like Kansas.
Beautiful photos! 🙂
Thank you much.
Taking the long way home–like it!
Thanks so much… 🙂
Nice to see some blue skies!
Yes, indeed. 🙂 Thanks.
Lovely set of photos!!!
Thanks Sally.
You have such a way of seeing things! Beautiful.
Thanks Judy.
Getting lost is good fun, sometimes. I admire you for purposely going somewhere you’ve never been in order to get lost!
By the way, high five for being ‘Oxygen’ buddies 😉
Thanks! I’m going to have to follow you to see what you see in Asia. 🙂
and I’ll follow you for more of your photographic adventures :)!
Jealous. I miss not seeing people.
I take it you are in a big city right now? 😉
Country view is so pretty 🙂
Thanks so much. 🙂 Glad you like that one.
Beautiful! I used to live in Ohio. Nice memories there and you captured many. I love getting off that beaten path now and then, too.
Thanks Tricia. Where did you live?
I lived outside of Cleveland for three years. Not quite as flat as central Ohio but still quite rural and beautiful.
I live in Southwestern Ohio and we have lots of hills around here. I was up near Columbus which was a bit flatter.
My parents lived outside Cincinnati for a few years; it was lovely in that area, too!
Wonderful shots. But for the flat ground, it could be New England. One of my joys is getting lost on the rural roads up here. So many discoveries that bring joy.
Yeah, it was flat in this area. Although we do have quite a few hills around these parts. 🙂
Happy accidental tourism!
Exactly. 🙂 Thanks.
Where did all the wire go? Those two fence posts look a little lost and confused.
Yeah, I thought so. 🙂 It looks like that one of the right is saying “Wilma.. Where’d the wire go.” 🙂
A favorite form of entertainment for my husband and I is always going for a drive along country side roads and we have gotten lost alot it makes for a wonderful day. We really enjoy your photo’s thanks so much for visting my blog
Thanks so much. 🙂 Glad others enjoy getting lost like me. Maybe I should for a “get lost” group and we’ll roam the countrysides of the world without a plan. We’ll just get lost. 🙂
sounds good to me!
I remember having a conversation with a friend about how one of the funnest things to do is just go get lost!
It is fun. Well nowadays it’s hard to get lost with all the equipment we carry with us. 🙂
I somehow manage to still be pretty good at it. 🙂 But it’s so true. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if all our gazmo stuff just stopped working.
Thanks for the day in country, Seth! Beautiful!
The God and Country image is great – perfect title. Also really love the graphic quality (line and shade) of The Grand Entrance.
Thanks so much Chas.
I like!
..Thx…
what camera did u used?
Nikon D3100.

yeah.thanks a lot.
They are all fantastic but I love the country view and the granddaddy post the best!! Beautiful!
Thanks so much…. glad you like them.
Great vision
Thx so much… 🙂
it looks like you had a great drive! wonderful photos as usual…it is too difficult to choose a favourite so I won’t…love them all! 🙂
Thanks Heather.
I’ve been very lax recently in reading my favourite blogs, so thought I’d catch up with everything today. Glad I did – I’d forgotten just how good some of your pictures are. Thanks!
That’s very kind of you. Thanks.
Those would be great blown up and framed. Be a great mood for a living room or reading room. Kind of a still beauty…
thanks so much. That’s very kind of you.
I LOVE “Country View”..its perfect. Even captured the clouds so nicely. Great set Seth!
Thanks Tasha. Glad to see your survived Elmo or Ermo.. what did they call it?
Nemo…lol It wasn’t bad at all. It was actually fun! I took my doggie Bianca out when the snow stopped and she practically disappeared into the snow. Roads were clear the next day. Weather says another snow storm is coming this weekend. I hope we do. I’ll make a snowman 🙂
We are getting a light snow here today so that means y’all will get another Blizzard a few days after. 😉
The fences really do look like they are talking 🙂
Thanks so much. /x 🙂
Love this series a lot!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoy these photos.
Awesome shots! Love the post
Thanks clicketynix.
Inspiring as always. Thank you
Thx Sarah.
