Gone to Market, Part 1

I went to the Ottawa Farmers' Market on Sunday,

and it is so much larger than the markets around home!!

I started taking photos of the kale,

and the other produce.

Beans, and beets,

corn, and peppers,

two kinds of them, 

and cherry tomatoes!

And I barely touched the surface of all the produce!!!

I am linking this post with Nature Footstep Blo-Ma,

and will continue the sensory exploration tomorrow...

Cornfield in November

I was walking toward the cornfield,

and admiring how the sun worked its magic

on the dried leaves of the plants.

Not brown any longer, 

but golden.

Add the frost on the tassels of the corn,

and the sun coming trough the silk,

and you truly have magic...

I am linking with Today's Flowers, so drop in for a visit.

Corn

The corn plants are now taller than I am.

 

Cornfield

The corn is about knee high now,

 enough to make walking across 

 the field challenging.

Skywatch Friday

The corn crops are ready; in fact, the eating corn is nearing the end of its run.

 But this is field corn, grown to be used for purposes other than human consumption. it won't be harvested for weeks yet.

In the Cornfield

About half the cornfields have been harvested now.

 I wonder why the farmers leave it so late...

Corn

The corn is getting very dry, so I don't think it could be used for human consumption any longer.

The weight of a lot of the cobs has turned them upside down.

Today's Flowers

These are the female flowers of the corn plant. Tomorrow, I will show you what the seeds look like!

Corn

The corn is in full swing! I have never noticed the way the pollen hangs from the male flowers at the tops of the plants!
