Wide Open Spaces...in Florida?

I was telling my SIL, Katie, that if they came to visit us they would like it because we are staying at a park that is in the country this winter.  She said she didn't know Florida had "country".  So last week, while driving over to Avon Park, I decided to grab some pictures for her.  As we were driving, Austin and I talked about how so many people truly don't know there are rural areas in Florida so I decided to share them here too.

There are many places where there is undeveloped land.

There are many places where there are farms.

And I'll be honest, it is some of my favorite land to travel in Florida.  It is not maybe the prettiest view.  But it is peaceful.  Excuse the blurriness, because Austin was driving and he doesn't slow down for me like Nathan does.  Something about other people on the road and him not wanting to look lame and all.

And here's another shot of the double rainbow we saw.  This time with the "real" camera vs the cell phone camera.

I will try to get more shots when I have an agreeable driver escorting me.  In the meantime, enjoy some of Florida that does not look like Ft Lauderdale, Daytona or the Magic Kingdom!
