Late Day, Leelanau, August - Which Shot Do You Like Better?

 

Cloud Street

 

Field Corn, October

 

Until I locate my missing camera, the only photographs I can take are with my phone, and it's not an expensive, fancy phone, either. Still, better than nothing. Maybe.

I Just Can't Seem to Stop!

Good Morning ! Before the Storm...

The sky was dark, and the wind was blowing hard, but thunder and lightning and rain had not yet arrived when Sarah and I got out for our morning constitutional. Later on, my, my! But my camera battery needed recharging by then.

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.

The challenge to photographing these fields is a heavy power cable that interrupts the scene.

This is a situation where I miss Photoshop and vow to return to it. Because to my eye the full effect of the sweep of sunflowers depends on the background trees.

One Harvest Down, Another To Go

Summer Winding Down

Preparation for harvest

Mowed and drying in the sun

Ripening corn

Fields of Honey Gold

Both sides of the road!

But it's worth getting out of the car

and looking closer.

Love the Look of This Field
