I was back in my old stomping grounds of northeast Ohio visiting my mother after dropping off my daughter at college. My Mom & I went for a walk through fields and woods that I used to spend a lot of time in as a kid. It was interesting to see how things have changed—trees grown, fields vanishing to thickets and woods, old paths disappeared. This shot of Joe Pye weed shows a bit of color coming to the maples as well.

I stopped by a local farm stand to buy some sweet corn. This row of sunflowers was growing between a harrowed field and the road. I spoke with Henry, the farmer, and he said that these were “volunteers” that had popped up on their own after he’d harrowed in the field this spring.

The humid, rainy weather that we’ve been “enjoying” for the past three weeks has finally broken. We revel in the clear, cool air that is much more typical of Vermont summers. Here, fair weather cumulus clouds reflect in a weathered window of an outbuilding behind the Greensboro Library where my duo, the Swing Peepers, performed yesterday afternoon.

Morning sunlight pours over this view along in the Huntington River Valley. With all our wet weather, the corn is struggling a bit. I like the linear interaction of corn rows and the cirrus clouds.
