This is a view I pass by every day on my way home. I've been noticing the lone corn stalk in the field for about a week now and wanting to take it's picture. Our days have turned fall-like with gorgeous blue skies, very low humidity, and warm evening sunshine bathing everything in a glow that just begs me to photograph it.
Last night on my way home I stopped to take pictures of the lone cornstalk. He looks so out of place, yet so strong and vibrant. I look at it against the backdrop of first the barn as I pass, then just sky, and then the mountains..... and it stirs some emotion in me that I can't quite place.
And it reminds me of the saying 'Bloom where you are planted.'
Even if you are all alone.

I parked a little ways from the field with the corn stalk and walked past a vineyard to get to it. Last night I only had my little camera with me, so I packed my big camera today in hopes of grabbing a few more shots.
I parked in the same place tonight and walked the same path by the same vineyard when I was smacked in the face with the sweet, rich aroma of GRAPES!!!! It actually took my eyes several minutes to focus and see the grapes on the vines. I smiled and reminded myself that it would be stealing to take one. Oh, but they smelled SO good!
On my way back, I decided to celebrate the grapes by taking their picture. And as per usual, my last shot was my favorite.
I can't believe I walked past them only the night before and did not even NOTICE them! Gorgeous, wonderful, sweet-smelling pearls of deliciousness. And no, I did not take not even one. :)
Ive been noticing that stalk! Cool story... didnt know the grapes were so fragrant. I like the grapes pic a lot. Not alot. Because an alot would eat the grapes.
