Corn Field 2

This barn and corn field is right on a very busy road. There is no place to pull off to take a picture and it's not like I can stop in the middle of the street. On the way back home today the traffic was backed up and I was excited. I pulled out the camera and took this from the car window while my husband drove.
As a youth, of 13 I went walkabout in western New South Wales Australia for a few months. When I found myself in corn country, I went looking for work, but there wasn't any, but the farmer showed me what ripe corn looked like and how to bend the stalks without breaking them, gave me a Billy (Cooking Pot) some Butter which I replenished and some salt and sent me on my way with the words, you won't go hungry for the next 300 miles. I don't think I have eaten better in my life. Fresh (Straight off the stalk) corncobs are the best food on earth!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I could eat my weight in fresh corn and boiled peanuts. I'm really from the south. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like you were driving through Nebraska! You should have stopped to say hi LOL
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors in these peaceful images!
No not Nebraska, I'm in Alabama. We have lots of corn and cotton here. Glad you all liked the picture. I've been imagining this shot for a while and the traffic worked well for me today.
ReplyDeleteI really like the second picture from the water in the foreground to the white fluffy clouds in the background.
