Country Views: Late Fall

It is getting on in the year and now things have changed from the greens of Summer to the golden hues of Fall with the "brown season" just at the doorstep. I haven't been able to get out in the country lately but Wednesday I did and so I gathered a few images to share.

Freshly harvested fields leave an interesting pattern of lines not unlike corduroy.

 Fallen leaves gather along the road edges and the trees are blushing with golds and rich oranges.

A silent combine with a hopper full of corn sits under the Fall Sun

Barns For Jason: Sheep watch warily as I pass by on my single speed.

There is still a fair amount of corn left to be harvested. All the soybeans have been taken out by now.

A perfectly good car in the ditch. I don't see this often unless it has snowed heavily or unless there is ice. Weird!

The restored Bennington No. 4 School house in the distance to the right here.

Wild asparagus turns a beautiful shade of orangey-gold in Fall.  The shoots in Spring are considered a delicacy in Iowa.
