Lately I've been taking scenic, country roads to East Texas instead of taking the boring stretch of Interstate 20. It's much more fun to drive through all the small, quaint towns with all the fresh fruit stands, interesting old buildings, and sweet homes and farms along the way. The drive takes a little longer, but it's well worth it to see all the interesting sites. At some point I started taking photos of brightly painted homes. There's a certain 'appeal' to the bright cheery colors. I thought I'd just share a few of the photos I've taken this summer.
This house is really quite charming. Quite an eye-catcher right off the main highway.
I love the tidy look of this bright red tin roof with the gray siding.
The American Flag really stands out against the blue.
All American picket fence. This looks so cozy.
Aren't the trees beautiful on this front lawn?
This appears to have been painted recently. There were signs of painting equipment that I edited out.
I would love to see this little house restored. It's been vacant for so long and it's on a beautiful stretch of Hwy 16.
So cute!
Next time I drive through Edgewood, I'm going to stop and check out this little cafe. I'm betting they have awesome homemade Southern dishes.
I've posted this home before, but here it is again. I love that they took the time to paint the little bird house the same color.
I find the most interesting things to photograph on these little country drives. I have a Garmin GPS in my car and sometimes I'll veer off the path on to little tar covered country roads just to see where it takes me.
Enjoy and have a nice weekend. Stay cool!
