i was feeling a bit restive...edgy just hanging around the house by myself...so i took off down county line road to go to the park and have a stroll by deep river just to get some sort of perspective on the day...after a couple of miles on the trails i left and stopped by the corn field just to see how things are going with the industrial monoculture...i lucked into a field of soybeans butted right up to the cornfield so i could photograph both feedstock populations at once (top two photos)...the national corn growers maintains that despite the cool, wet weather in the spring this will be a good harvest year and form the looks of things they are correct...lots of hot pockets and soda out there just over the county line...the bottom photo is of the wall of dense yellow number two lining the road opposite the tandem field...tombstone pizza anyone? ( if the corn isn't in the cheese it will be in the sausage...or sausage substitute ) the third photo is from my stroll by the river...lots of trees in the water today and the one standing up looks like it's due to go any time...nature...nothing lives forever...the fourth photo is of a quiet stretch between the trees...if i'd had a canoe i wouldn't be writing this...but i can't help but wonder what the nitrate level in that murky water is.
