Photograph of a dirt road and a farmhouse in Rayzor Ranch, Denton, TX. The dirt road winds away from the camera towards the right, disappearing between lines of white fencing and tall, tufted plants. Grass fills the space on either side of the dirt road, trimmed to a short height. Straight ahead from the camera are two dark horses, contained within a portion of white fencing. In the background beyond the grass and fences are two buildings, the one on the right twice the size of the other. Both buildings have light-colored roofs and red walls. The larger building has two windows in its roof and a yellow light illuminating its front porch, a feature the smaller building appears to lack. Tall bushy trees fill the area behind the buildings, covering the horizon.
