Along the byways far from town,
Away from mob and traffic sounds.
Serene and cloistered hamlets wait
For those that forgo the interstate!
(R Weisser 2012)
In the real estate business, it is hard to get away for more than a day or two. As a matter of fact, I haven’t had a day off in 2012 yet.
So instead of thinking of “getting away” in terms of weeks, days, or even hours, I often take breaks that may last only minutes, but provide an enduring legacy to my photo archives.
Do you ever choose to take the “scenic" route? Yes, we are pressed for time, and there is precious little extra for the extravagance of leisure.
But there are places near our homes and places of work that are worthy of meriting a little detour every now and then.
It may takes a few extra minutes and a couple of dollar’s worth of fuel, but the rewards far exceed the investment in time and money.
Robert Frost was correct. There is something about the “road less traveled!”

Richard - I like taking the scenic route! Glad to hear someone else does too!
I have to admit that there are times when I do take the scenic way to view the beuty.
And again, both your poetry and photography are worth the visit. Sometimes, Richard, your posts are my scenic route on AR.
Such a nice weaving together of this thought and real estate. Richard, you are the master of this. Nice!
Whenever I can I really enjoy the scenic route. We, as I guess many places do, have so many small, older towns full of charm and beauty. Taking the scenic route in life can be relaxing instead of stressful. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and tranquil pictures.

We all need to find a little time to "escape".
Richard I take scenic routes as often as possible - which is often. There are such pretty sites to see and it doesn't take that much longer. Somehow I feel refreshed when I arrive as well.
Richard...more often than not my wife and I take the path less driven. Many very nice surprises we have found.
Carol...
It's the BEST way to get to know your territory. Thanks.
Harry...
It's a good way to clear the mind. Thanks.
Leslie...
That is one of the nicest comments that I have ever received. Thank you so much. You made my day!
Richard - We take the scenic route as much as possible. When one lives in the city it's such a breath of fresh air for both body and soul. We laugh as we count Jack Rabbits instead of love bug aka VW cars :) Have a great day in all you do!
Yes and I hope I have my camera with me as one never knows what they will find. So many of the scenic roads are disappearing in my area that I cherish the ones remaining. Your photos are perfect examples of the serenity.
Just did this last evening. There are so many "roads less traveled" in our area and they provide the most serene and peaceful drive you could hope for.
Paula...
Thanks ... I try to do something like this every Sunday!
Sue...
Some days it's the ONLY relaxation that I get. Thanks.
Kathy...
Even if it's just for a few minutes. ThX
Anna...
It usually doesn't take that much loner and it's so much more fulfilling. Thanks.
Bill...
And that's what makes it fun. THX.
John...
Here we count cows! Lots of them. Thanks.
Teral...
I always have a camera at the ready too! Thanks.
Peggy...
It's a wonderful way to see the world from a different perspective. THX.
William...
That was written so nicely that I think that you should write a whole post with that theme in mind. Thank you so much for the VERY kind words!
Actuall Richard i do often take the scenic rouote. I would even do a train ride in place of a plane ride where feasible. Your pictures alone should sell everybody to take the scenic route
