Lens-Artists #64: Countryside and/or small towns

This week Amy has challenged us to show countryside and/or small towns.

We’ve traveled many back roads during our travels around the United States. As we drive along I love seeing the crops growing in the fields and knowing where our food comes from. I am grateful to all the hardworking farmers who grow the food and other crops that we need.
