Seas of Green


I really enjoy this time of year. For those of you who are not from Illinois, the area I live in is pretty flat and is populated by corn and soybean fields. This time of year, the corn is getting to about head height, and when you look over the landscape, all you can see is green. It's something that those of us who live here really take for granted. We see it every day, so the beauty of it can be lost on us. This photo really doesn't do it justice. It's also really cool to drive down the backroads late summer, when the corn is over the top of your car. It's like driving down green corridors, and it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere.
