This fall it seems like the clouds have taken on a lot of unusual formations, probably since they haven’t delivered any needed rain, but instead they are wispy and thin.
Wispy Clouds
Ever since the movie Fields of Dreams came out, it is hard not to look at a corn field waiting for baseball players to come out from the field. And while the movie had the line “If you build it, he will come.”, in this case it is, “If you plant it, it will come.” And the ‘it’ was the combine on the far end that came in a few minutes making these rows vanish, like the baseball players vanishing in the field.

When taking pictures of the fall crop harvest, sometimes there is a long wait for the combine to come back to the end of the field where I was and so the camera looks around for other interesting subjects like this close up shot of a grain truck and seeing the reflection in the gas cap.

But to the future generations, the current fancy equipment may appear just as ancient as photographs of my grandparents harvesting with teams of horses.
