You see things on a farm you don't see everyplace else

I need to go through my photo collection. Over the years I have taken several photos of things I figure most folks just don't get the chance to see.  For example, seeing a sunset is nothing unusual ... to me.  I remember visiting with some kids raised in the mountains who considered it a treat.  And when I worked in a "town job" I realized one night I hadn't seen a sunset for a few days. 
Something I have tried taking a picture of for years are spiderwebs. At certain times of the year there are jillions (I'm sure that is a real number) of them you can see when looking across a field into the sun just right.  I tried taking this at Mom's recently.
You just barely can make out a few across the top of the grass.  And we in the country become complacent about things like deer and turkeys
  and wildflowers

OK, the next one wasn't in the woods, it was in Gramp's back yard
Ever see a Buckeye bloom?
And of course there is machinery and places
this is my backyard.
People like to come out in the country and take pictures of barns and things.  That's OK.  But they sometimes miss the little things we who live here take for granted.

Neal came visiting and brought his parents

It was nice of him to allow them to come along.
Everybody smile...
Adam and David hunted Easter Eggs as well

Oh,  and David is getting better at communicating.  He wanted to watch the DVD Cars 2.  My understanding is his Mom said no.  So he wrote it on the chalkboard
PaPaw was impressed.
But the answer was still no.
