This was taken in Wassie, on the way out of town, traveling south.
This field is about ready to be harvested. Fall is HERE.
Okay, you have to look close and right in the middle of the picture. There are five wild turkeys headed towards the woods. When I saw them, they were standing right on the edge of the road. By the time I pulled over and stopped and got my camera focused, they had humped it across the field. But you can still see them if you look close. At least you can see their heads and necks and part of their bodies.
I think they were all lady turkeys.
This was on a gravel road going mostly west outside of Wassie (Waseoja for those of you not from the area). The light through the trees and the interplay of light and shadow on the leaves was just breathtaking. It is so much better in person, but the picture still catches a little of the awesomeness.
Some sort of vine in the woods climbed up the trunks of the trees. It was the most stunning shade of deep, rich red...especially when the sun was directly on it.
Most of the red in there is sumac. It just seems to catch fire when the sun is on it.
Same area without the telephoto option. Notice how the trees are beginning to turn too. It's looking like it is going to be a really gorgeous fall. I love it when there are tons of colors. I love the autumn palette the best.
Also, Fall is my favorite season.
Up near the top of the tree sort of to the left, there is a big clump of that red vine. It doesn't show up in the picture so well, but in person, it looked just like a brilliant banner. I love how that red color just leaps out at you.
There is more red here, but this picture is meant to show off the limey yellow color of the leaves and the way the sun splashes them with light. I like the dead stuff looking all skeletal in the front too.
Telephoto shot looking into the sun-drenched woods. Lots of red.
A great ridge of sumac here.
Same general area--a slightly different angle.
Telephoto shot of the beautiful redness.
After school tonight, I just didn't feel like going home, so I cruised some gravel roads and took some pictures out in the boonies. This is just a tangle of underbrush and woods off the side of the road.
More stuff along the edge of the gravel road.
This is actually in Wassie--the river with the wooden railed bridge. It's so quaint.
Pampas grass along the side of the road in Wassie. It looked cooler in person.
There is a little drive of some kind going off into the woods. I really would have liked to drive back in there and have a look around. But I could hear "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance in my head and decided against it.
This is the road that runs through Wassie, North to South. Looking South.
Big G wanted some cows. There are some cows and a scrumptious old barn!
Telephoto of the cows. These are beef cows here.
A lovely golden field, almost ready for harvest.
These horses are just down the road from Jim and DeAnn's house. There is a donkey (or maybe it is a mule...don't know for sure) in the middle.
A better shot of the flop eared mule.
Such a nice pastoral scene...because of course, it is taken of a PASTURE!
More cows. These are young stock--Holsteins, like my dad used to have. These are dairy critters.
A little closer view of the cows. I love cows. They are such pretty creatures.
So, that was my photo essay of the day. Not a lot of information, but just some random shots of the area where ai live and what you can see there. I also saw a black cat on the edge of the gravel road, crouched in a hunter's spring position...I watched her wiggle her back end a few times before pouncing on whatever tasty, hapless morsel she was stalking. Whatever it was, she got it. LOL. She was a beautiful shiny black kitty. I would have loved to have given her some love, but I didn't want to interrupt her meal. LOL.
