Fields in Snow with Cable

These fields of corn, with sunflowers in the foreground and a tree-covered hill as backdrop, have been particularly beautiful since our recent (unexpectedly early) snow.

My Favorite Farm, Beautiful in Every Mood and Season

I never drive by without pausing to admire this farm in its neat, productive setting, and this morning the natural lighting was extraordinary.
