Welcome to this SkyWatch Friday post! Greetings from our dairy farm in northeast Iowa, USA! The first photo was taken last Sunday evening around 7 p.m. as we were finishing up a day of baling hay.
The next photo was taken today around noon. It shows tassels on sweet corn---that’s corn for us people to eat. Yum! Corn-on-the-cob! Can’t wait! Currently, the field corn---which is for the livestock---is just beginning to tassel.
This final photo shows our oat field, which was cut yesterday using the same machine the hay was cut with. In the right corner area of the picture is a deer standing in the field. More photos of the intruder will be in the next post.

Spectacular skies and photos that show their true color!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI loved your milkweed photo! I have tried several times to grow this plant but have had no luck. Oh well.We were just in western Illinois and I was reminded of the large skies of my childhood there (and in your photos). Such weathers! Here in Vermont we also have our weathers but not so much sky - mountains instead.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful scenes!
