It was an amazing sunset. We don't get this kind of spectacular display every night, but are blessed when we do. Thank you for your comment.

This capture was a few rows over from the graceful stalk of corn depicted in yesterday's soft pastel image. I felt it demanded a starker, harsher edit. The styling needed to be as ruthless as the harvest. *A reference to Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching.

The farmers started harvesting the feed corn late in the evening and could only take one rotation around the edge of the field before calling it a day. The next morning, I spied this lone survivor 'guarding' the remaining phalanx of stalks. *The following morning, it and the 'army' were gone.

It's Weems Rd going toward the Village. Just above the fog on the right side of the picture is the steeple of Claybrook Baptist Church.

Lucky You!
I guess for you it would be, as Jimmy Buffett once said, "Just another s***ty day in PARADISE."
Enjoy!

Someone's been reflecting on the Huainanzi.
A good Sunday (or any day) read.
Have a good one.
