They're all great, but I especially love the all the ones with water features! Hoping for a creek or waterfall on my property one of these days.

Here's our water features:
The pond next to the barn:
The pond in front of the house (and our beloved dog Huck who died of cancer two years ago):
The pond in the horse pasture (sure wish it was this full now):
The creek that our north property lines runs down the middle of (made during a severe flood a few years back). That "lake" behind my hubby is our hay field:

Our home in Colombia South America
We raise fish for resale (and for me to eat)
Chicken coup for 200 egg producing chickens
We grow our own fresh coffee, none of the supermarket
stuff blended with wood chips
Our banana Tree
We have a mountain view from all sides
My faithful companion and friend "Susie"
Susie all dressed up in John Deere green and headed into town. (my wifes idea not mine.)
P. S. Colombia is a big country, this is the part of Colombia the news media never talks about.

Ravenlost, that looks pretty and peaceful, except when it was your hay field! Sorry about Huck.
Bob, wow what a view! I'd give anything to have my own banana tree. When I was a kid i'd eat so many I'd make myself sik, lol.

The Buck'n P Farm
I've posted before, but since you asked ...
Here's the house we're building as seen from across the pond.
Here's a shot of the front.
And here's a shot looking from front to back down one side of the wrap-around porch.

Thanks, Rose. Oh, how I wish we were in, but are still here in the Metro-Mess. We do go out every other weekend. We've actually put railings up around the porch ... after all, the back porch is about six feet off the ground. Don't won't anyone to take a tumble.
How's your place coming?

Doohap, great place! A tin roof, wraparound porch and water, what more could you ask for?
Ford8N, very nice looking place, cute truck too, and is that a Studebaker? My brother used to have a 61 Hawk, I learned to drive a stickshift in that car.

Yup, That is a '59 Lark VI with 3-on-the-tree and overdrive. I owned that car back in high school and bought it back again a couple of years ago (same exact car)
The truck is a '56 VW. The tractor is a '48 and I have a nice '66 Beetle.

Here's a bit of our new place. Never attached pics here before, I hope it works!

You have to stick the photos someplace on the internet and then link to that URL. (Flickr, Photobucket, etc.,) It was an excellent try though.

My wife is from Cali. She visited Colombia a few months ago. It looks like a beautiful country and I would go if it were safe. Hopefully things will continue to get better.
