Corn as High

 

On a hot summer day, as we wind our way down country roads a line from an old musical keeps running through our mind...

Grand Old Lady Trees are one of my favorite subjects, standing guard over a farm track off a busy highway, imagine what changes they have seen.

The Road Home

 

The Road Home

In the not too distant past most people had a family connection to the land. 

The family farm whether it was in the care of parents, grandparents or aunts/uncles was the gathering point for families. 

I think having lost that  touch stone of tradition has created a vacuum where a lack of understanding of the importance of sustainability has grown. 

Is this ripe for development, or the source of sustenance for a hungry world?

Wonderland

 

Wonderland

Along one of the city's busiest thoroughfares there are still remnants of  what was.

Most bear signs 'zoned for development, will build to suit!'

For many the the heavy equipment has already flattened the land and removed the visages of before. 

Here and there though, remnants of the earlier wonderland remain. 

Defiant, young trees reclaim what was forest and field.  

Nature is ever hopeful.  

UPDATE:

this scene is no more, the bulldozers have done their work, and a new strip mall is being built.

It seems to be a fact of life, we head to the lake for a few days of rest and relaxation, and invariably it rains.  What a good excuse to kick back with a book, or haul out the board games. Sometimes these are the best days of our holiday!
