As though it was drawn by a Sharpie, a layer of fog lays in the distance just above the soybean field.

Daybreak
A tree adds interesting irregularity to the horizon while Venus shines her beacon.
Calming, early morning
Gratitude
Life is good. It is not perfect yet it is pretty good. I have decent health, four walls as well as a roof and a bed, reliable hydro and gas, good work, healthy and good dogs, a lovely partner who is also my companion and best friend.
I have so much to be grateful for.
Harvest
Wheat harvest is in full swing. A combine marches through the wheat; when it reaches the end of this swath it will do-si-do and roundabout onto the next swath.
Ready
Combines are beginning to take off the wheat, I expect this field will succumb soon to the march of the harvest.
Drawn
Lately, I have been drawn to fields of winter wheat. They are ripening, nearing harvest. Combines have been moving through town and on local roads, presumably pre-positioning for the harvest hustle and bustle.
It’s one of the early, large scale crops to come off. This field will come off soon. With this weekends’ predicted very hot weather, soon may be a very few days from today.
I’m drawn in, reminded of what a fruitful, bountiful part of the word I’m blessed to live in.
Ripening
Winter wheat, ripening on a warm summer day.
Echo
A ‘weed’ echoes the shape of its much taller neighbour.
Blue and green
Soft shapes and colours greet the morning light.
