This past weekend, the rich colors of October were beautifully on display in the harvested produce of Green Acres Farm in Milan, Tennessee.
“My favorite color is October.” ~Unknown
October colors
corn
A Yellow theme
On my walks this week, the yellows of this season as summer fades into autumn have really been popping out and catching my attention. Here are a few photos from those country road walks.
“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.” ~Jim Bishop
Humidity hanging in the air
“What dreadful hot weather we are having. It leaves me in a complete state of inelegance.” ~Jane Austin
Amongst the chopped corn stalks
Dry brittle corn stalks
Shooting up out of the snow
Enticing the birds.
A red cardinal
Searching for much needed food
Lights atop a stalk.
A hungry brown thrush
Feverishly pecks away
At a frozen cob.
An alert sparrow
Spies a kernel on the ground
Lunch for one is served.
September
“The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down…”
~Helen Hunt Jackson
Rows of Corn
A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine. ~Anne Bronte
