Set against blue-grey mountains and slightly overcast skies, a peaceful homestead is nestled among yellow rolling hills and grassy fields. The combined aspects of the white picket fence, stacked hay bales, and colorful cars bring additional energy to this scene. The rich, full trees towering above create a feeling of protection and seclusion for this homey escape.
