"The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry...
"November Corn"
Bucks County, Pennsylvania
...Stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half playing swirls,
and the wind hurries on...
a tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving.
But there's no detaining the wind."
-Aldo Leopold
Day #12. November 12th - I am thankful for the first bit of snow we got. Not because I like snow, quite the opposite. But if I didn't have the cold of the snow in November, I do not think I'd truly appreciate the warmth of the sun in June.
Day #13. November 13th - I am grateful for mercury glass. Yep, mercury glass. And that HomeGoods obviously understands my love....and is very willing to supply my habit.
Here's where I'm linking up today ..."The Party's On"
Please join me on Sundays for Song-ography.
This week's song title is Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".
Great shot! And what a wonderful quote - captures the feel of these November days perfectly!

ReplyDeleteLove your shot, and you have captured the feel of November. Snowing soon and a long winter to look forward to.
ReplyDeletei love it....what a great "feel"!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is snow?
ReplyDeleteTrue, the sound of wind through the dried stalks is like none other, same for wind in the vast fields of wheat... love your choice of B&W! Thank you for coming by to share on Rurality Blog Hop #40!
ReplyDeleteI can almost here the rustle.
ReplyDeletePhoto and quote - a perfect melding of art and word!
Love this...I live in the midwest and see lots and lots and lots of corn. And soy beans.
ReplyDeleteStunning photo, especially in b&w. I love that quote, too--it really evokes the rustling of the corn!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe 'leaning' stalks are representative of the 'lean' days to come. Love that you didn't try to doctor it up with color♫♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/out-the-window/
ReplyDeleteWatch out for the corn in Bucks County...next thing you'll be seeing will be "Signs."
ReplyDeleteLOVE the black & white shot of corn!
ReplyDeleteVery creative photography and wonderful quotes ~ for Rurality ~ thanks, carol, xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shot. There is something so majestic and yet so eery about the "silence" of a corn field. When I was much younger, our property used to be next to a corn field and I was always so spooked by the sounds you could hear in the night and I would never venture out into the field either. That may also be part of the reason I have never gotten up the courage to try a corn maze. :)
ReplyDeleteThat photo is absolutely lovely. I'm not sure that I could love it much more than I already do! (: So simple & detailed all at the same time. Love it, thanks for sharing! Blessings to you!
