We enjoyed our horse and buggy ride with our two horses and our driver, Steve.
I loved the short drive down the dirt roads
I loved observing the simpler, slower, more peaceful way of life,
the friendliness and gentleness of the people.
Next time I don't plan to spend just a couple of short hours with the Amish.
Next time, I plan to park my buggy for at least a couple of days!

That is so cool - I really thought they wouldn't allow photographs. How neat!

I sometimes wish I lived in a simpler time.
Beautiful photos of a simpler life. :) Thanks for dropping by my blog today! God bless you and yours!
I loved visiting the Amish when we were in Michigan a few years ago. Great pictures!
Great and very interesting pictures!
Beautiful captures!
My grandma lives in Amish country, in southern Minnesota, and we love visiting with them.
You got beautiful shots!!!! We went to Amish country last summer and I LOVED it.
Hope to go back again!!!

Love your shots! I don't blame you I would park my buggy for a few days too. Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
Very interesting. We live in a community with a busy highway full of speeding cars and the occasional Amish buggy. It's fascinating and sweet. Thank you for more interesting insights with your lovely photos for Sweet Shot Tuesday. I'll have to share them with my senior mom and grandchildren as well.
Awesome.. I grew up near large Amish communities.. I am surprised that your Buggy driver allowed a picture...although there are different rules to govern different sects.. The bishop determines the rules for each group> Beautiful photos!
Beautiful and they look so peaceful. We actually converted to the Mennonite faith and spent lots of time with them and were around the Amish (still are somewhat). A seemingly very peaceful way of life, although, they can be very stressed out because of all the hard, hard labor they believe they need to do -- things aren't always as they seem...visiting is nice, though, to step back in time a bit. You captures such PEACE and SIMPLICITY in your photos.
That is really neat. Thanks for sharing. I have visited before and would love to go back at sometime.
COol shots! I am surprised the driver allowed you to photograph him!
I just found your blog through another blogger and I must say I am SO jealous of your trip to see the amish. That is one of my dreams is to be able to see them and observe their culture. I'm surprised that guy let you take his picture. I thought they didn't let people do that. Terrific photos. If you need someone who shares your interest of the Amish to go park a buggy with, I'm your girl. lol :) http://throughaphotographerseyes.blogspot.com/
beautiful. its such simple looking photography of a simple lifestyle. I love how you catured it with muted colors and the texture you added to one of the pics was great. great great shots!
LOVE those!!!!! What a wonderful place. I would go there in a heartbeat... but only if they would allow my camera & laptop- so I could continue to blog :) Hehehe
I'm surprised they let you take their picture!! When we were there, they all kind of hid their faces when they saw a camera.
Wow, what a visit. I remember going through Amish country when I was younger. I'd love to go back again sometime. Wonderful pictures!

Great pictures, wish I could have gone :-)
I love these. My hubby's family lives in Indiana and when we go to visit, we always take a drive to Shipshewana. I love it! My hubby's family were raised Menonite.
Looks like you all had a wonderful time! I love the slower more relaxed pace, but I'd miss my cell phone, internet, camera, running hot water... hehe!
Serious envy here! What a cool field trip! Lifestyle-wise, I think we may be turning a bit Amish... :O)
