My creation

Rainy     days            
are                     for
                                                   reading
           art
                                reflection
              knitting
                             
                                cooking             joy    
    eating
                         drinking
                                              playing
renewal
 
and finding pretty new things to look at...

the view from here



the view from here, originally uploaded by poketypatch.
I was driving along our country roads and the tops of these silos popped out at me as they were reflecting the bright sunlight in a sea of green. The silos are several stories high and are used to story grain. The green is actually corn which is about 7 feet tall. I actually had to drive a ways until I got to a spot along the road where you could actually get a good view of the tops of the silos. The corn is so tall this year that it was hard to find the right spot. I took this photo with my 55-250mm lens whilst parked on the side of the road.... otherwise known as a "drive-by shot"!
