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.

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...

Not all of the cornfields have been harvested yet.

Natural Windbreaks

On the drive to North Gower, we were wondering why so many fields had half a dozen rows of corn left standing parallel to the road.

Then we reached a point where the wind had blown the snow across the fields, and discovered the corn stalks were a natural windbreak.

Husband rolled his eyes that I wanted to photograph the snow,

but I had never seen anything like this before.

Can you imagine this much snow blowing across the roads during a storm?

Skies over the Cornfields

This cornfield has not been harvested yet.

I have no idea why, but I doubt the farmer planted it for the deer that are taking refuge in it.
