One Very Lucky Guy Here

Hello Everyone,
I am only 28 years old but looking back I realize that I have already had a lifetime's worth of adventure and experience.  I feel very fortunate to have been able to do so and see so much at a young age.  Hopefully, by me sharing these experiences with you it will inspire you to go out and see this great planet God blessed us with.
Dunring my travels across both North America and Europe I have experienced a lot of once in a lifetime opportunities. As I tend to stray from the beaten path.

A bit about my travels

I have visited Italy 14 times in my life for over 1 year worth of time.  I took a lot of photographs in that time frame and have chosen to share a few with you.  As well, I have been to Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, France, Austria, Germany, and throughout both Canada and the USA.  In time I will share photos from all of my destinations but I am still in the process of loading them.  So, if you are patient you will be able to travel the world right here at RuRal Rooted.
I also have all sorts of DIY projects that are all my original creations I have came up with over the years and continuing future and more great recipes.  In between all of this wonderfulness will be my continuing exploration of my local community.

The World's Biggest Debate

Many times in life I have debated
What is better coffee or chocolate?
...

...
The debate continues.

You Row My Boat

Let's jump in a boat and begin to row,
Where we will go I do not know
But let's just take out time,
And go real slow.

Can I help You?

Photoshop Graffiti

Guns

Endless amounts of time and money
Invested into devices that in return
Robbing others of time and money.

Airplane Passenger

How gracefully we soar through the air
No worries, no trouble, and no despair.

Government

Watching us at all times
Borrowing our pennies
And stealing our dimes.

Upside Down

The world spins round and round,
So what was once right side up
Is now upside down.

No One Seems to Care

An old widow begger wanders the streets
Pleading and crying to everyone she meets.

Abandoned Rail Towns in North America

Abandoned tracks slowly rust with each rainfall.
As the memories of railroad towns wash away.

Hold Your Head High

Alone we walk the path of life
Full of misery, pain, and strife.

peppering the orchard floor
while children starve.

heavy rainfall passes through
radiant forest.
