Before this week gets away from me I wanted to share a few more photos from my adventure last Sunday. Photos that are not barns. Because really there is more to life in rural Michigan.
I stopped in the small farming community of Coleman. I think it’s a farming community because right in the center of town is a grain elevator.
The working parts
I thought the whole thing was picturesque. I suppose if you’re a farmer it’s just equipment.

But to an outsider it’s all color and angles.
Years of feed sold here
Interesting. In a dusty sort of way.
At least the driver can see
I parked near a store. Can you guess what they sell?
You guessed it!
They sell auto and bicycle parts! Cool combination.
Along the way I also passed this garden. I actually turned around and went back for these photos.
So pretty
They even had a cow.
Moo!
It was a fun adventure. I’m glad I went. Hopefully I can get back on the road sometime soon!

Interesting photogenic angles. The truck windshield is a great example of practicality and no wasted energy, and the sunflowers and morning glory are beautiful bright spots. I enjoyed your adventure.

My favorite is of the blue/red truck with the green background –all colors are balanced. Cool.

That shot was the one I noticed as I drove by that made me stop and go investigate.

Bahaha, I love that cow!! Of course, I would have barked my head off at it…but I still like it! 😉 Wow, looks like you live in a very cool place with lots of pretty nature and niffty buildings! How’s Miss Katie doing?

Miss Katie is getting a little miffed that she has not been featured on the blog in awhile. I am pretty sure she will go on strike during school this weekend.

The cow made out of an oil tank is brilliant! WHat a great way to recycle something that is usually deemed as “hazardous waste”.
Love the bicycle hanging too. People are so clever.
Small towns are the best. I drive by a farm on my way to work, and I keep meaning to stop and take a photo of one of their signs which reads, “Punkins for sale”. It cracks me up every time I see it.

Except for the color, that truck could be parked on my dad’s farm! Can’t decide which I like more: the cow or the flowers. That specific color of blue is right at the top of my list of favorites…
