Getting Colder

7 Degrees and the Lili wants one more chance to show its colors, and the bunny rabbit gets tucked into his leaf bed.

 

Helpful Bluejay

 I needed help raking so this guy pitched in. He was awfully slow though.

Combining the beans

Combining the beans in North Liberty, Iowa.
 

Combining Corn

Our son Stephen called and told me that the field next to them was being harvested. I’ve got photos of the beans being harvested, now I have the corn. @ North Liberty, Iowa
 

Matching Trees

 I was trying to get a photograph of pelicans along the Mississippi River and wasn't having any success.  They were just out of range of my 500mm lens.  However, when I turned around the real picture was behind me. The matching trees.

Baled Corn stocks

Standing Alone

Mississippi Palisades State Park

 Took a trip along the Mississippi River on the Illinois side and stopped at the Mississippi Palisades Park. There was color but I think the week of October 13th will be peak week.

Right Place Right Time

 On our way to Cedar Rapids, I saw this combine working to bring in the beans. I just had to have the photo so pulled over (just happened to have my camera and a long lens) and took this shot. Right place, right time.
