On the side of the road -- drive-by shooting 6! by marlboromaam

On the side of the road -- drive-by shooting 6!

The wild roses are so pretty this time of year! They just cover whole sections of roadsides and ditches, and hang from the trees!
Beautiful textures! Love that splash of pink!

Very cool! Almost got a drive by today!
May 18th, 2012  
Beautiful drive by. Is the drive by a challenge right now? 'Cause that's how I get about 3/4 of my shots? LOL I think people know me as the crazy old lady in the white truck with a camera who'll just stop in the middle of the road to take a picture!
May 18th, 2012  
Wow ... I wanna live by your side of the roads!! Ours our just brown ditches and kinda ugly!! NOW this a gorgeous "dirve by!" Just love wild roses and the beauty has to just add to one's happiness as you drive along and see this!

Its amazing how much beauty you see on the side of your road! I think I need to go for a drive in the country over the weekend as these urban areas just don't have this kind of beauty! Wonderful shot!

Love wild roses. Not many around here though. Very pretty.
May 18th, 2012

@aleksandra Country roads are where the wild plants grow, gal! Get yourself out there! Thank you, Aleksandra! Always enjoy your visit and comments!

@copperheadglass Thank you, Meredith! They multiply pretty quickly. 10 years ago, they were a small patch on this roadside. Now, it's nearly one mile long!

@myhrhelper Thank you, Kathy! There is no order to the plant life on country roads. All wild chaos mixed together.
