Travelin' with Upcountrygirl

I love the desert, the mountains and the ocean. This page is for all you "real" cowboys or those with just that extraordinary country spirit. You can see other photos of my favorite places on my poetry pages.

Safe travels to all of you.

Stop and smell the flowers no matter where you are.
