Fall Beans

I just love the color that Fall brings at harvest time. These beans are just starting to turn. Others have already lost most of their leaves. And in some places you can still see a sea of green.

Local Stampede

While on my way home I passed this herd of cattle cooling themselves in this stream. I couldn't help but stop and take a picture.



One of the cows got spooked by me and my camera and headed for higher ground. The rest followed suit as if they had all been stuck with a cattle prod.









Move Along Little Doggie!

Auglaize County Countryside

The following post was given to me by Lee Miller. (Looks like Lee has been very busy taking pictures lately). Thanks for sharing Lee. These are fantastic.


Many of us are town dwellers, and as we drive the highways and interstates we tend to ignore the countryside around us. Ohio has over 10 million acres in farmland and over a million acres in woodland. Agriculture is big business in Ohio, and certainly plays a large part in Auglaize County as well as the surrounding counties.



Unless we have reason, we seldom drive the back roadways of Ohio. But, those back roadways hide a certain beauty that is found in Ohio. Ohio may not have mountains, but Ohio has a subtle beauty that we all can watch for and enjoy, in the straight rows in the corn fields, the gold of the wheat, the contrasting golds and greens in the fields, the peaceful pasture land holding cows, or horses, and sometimes goats and sheep.



Watch for Ohio sunrises and beautiful sunsets over the flat fields and above our woods. It’s a pretty nice place to live.

Our Ohio Landscape

No matter what size town you live in, you don't have to drive very far before you find yourself looking at fields of corn, beans or wheat.



I just love a good old fashion drive in the country. I love taking pictures of old barns and silos.



The following pictures were given to me by Lee Miller and were inspirational in my going on my own Sunday Drive in the Country.



This picture of a wheat field much like Alex's corn field picture show the simple beauty of the crops we raise to feed a nation.



Besides Silos, Water-Towers and church steeples reaching into the sky its hard not to notice these fellows as they march across the fields.



Thanks Lee for the pictures and the inspiration to go out and take a few of my own.

Sunset On the Farm (Anywhere Ohio)

I live in the country so when I see a great sunset it looks something like this.







Not exactly palm trees and ocean but Hey its what I've got to work with. And for some odd reason I like taking pictures of silos. Go Figure.
