The Beauty of Cotton

We headed out before the sun came up for some sunrise beauty.  I love our morning drives to the country to watch the sunrise together.  These cotton field views we found were so beautiful.  I'm sure the farmers that saw us on the side of the road were suspicious and thought we were mental when they saw the camera in my frozen hands.

Beautiful field of cotton in the middle of nowhere around Slaton and Acuff, Texas.

All the equipment was lined up perfectly for a cotton field sunrise photo.

Lots of fields left to harvest, but there are also a lot of
modules in empty fields across the horizon
that need to be picked up. 

Rows of cotton going as far as the eye can see.

Sun glow on a field of cotton and look at that sky.

The cotton bolls are so pretty with the glow of the sun behind them.

Look at how the sun is shining on the cotton stalks.

The sun was glowing off the tall cotton filled field.

I love blogging, but often times I feel like I'm talking to myself.  :-(
I want to hear from you!!

Horseshoe Bend--Slaton, TX

We went out to Horseshoe Bend this morning to watch the beautiful hand of God at work.  I love this area.  The sky was colorful and the breeze was cool.  It's a beautiful day that the Lord has made!

After spending the morning in Horseshoe Bend we made our way into the small town of Slaton, TX.  There is a Steakhouse on 9th Street where we stopped for breakfast.  I love the Mom and Pop places.  The locals were already there eating their usual and drinking coffee before starting their day.  

I'm sure we were the talk of town! 

A song comes to mind when I see these beautiful scenes of our day and it goes something like this...

I'm from the COUNTRY and I like it that way!!

Beautiful view with no building in the way of God's land.

Barbed wire and an old fence post equal beauty in my book.

The Sunflowers were already turned toward the rising sun.

Look at the wild grasses shining in the light of the sun.

The locals enjoying each others company at the Slaton Steakhouse.  I miss this.

 Everybody knows everybody

Everybody calls you friend

One last view of the country life before making it back to Lubbock.  This is the most beautiful thing ever!
Agriculture, wind turbines, and electricity all sharing the same space.

It was so good to get out of town for a few hours and enjoy the quiet places called the country.

I'm from the COUNTRY and I like it that way!!
