If you were to get in your car and just take a drive around Oklahoma, what are some of the things you would see?

The first thing that probably comes to mind is dirt roads and a lot of grass but some of the most beautiful sights come from the nature that is surrounding us.

Oklahoma is a state with a lot of character and gorgeous sights that can be easily missed. You will only catch them if you pay attention to your surroundings.

So the next time you are “just driving through” Stop and smell the roses. Just take a couple minutes to appreciate the beauty in the nature around you.

You can find beauty in the simplistic of sites depending on the mindset you have when you look at it.

From beautiful sunsets to rustic dirt road Oklahoma is lucky to be surrounded by so much nature and wildlife.

And when ever you feel down remember that the telegraph newspaper came out with an article titled “One in eight young people have never seen a cow in real life” we should take pride in the fact that we can see cows in real life anytime we want to.
