Corn Field

Over the course of this year I have taken quite a few pictures of the cornfield.

I enjoy the corn, and so do the chickens. The first 4 or 5 rows would always be embarrassingly empty.

We would build memories with it all year long.

I remember the younger chickens getting lost for a couple hours, me crawling around the muddy field on my hands and knees trying to get them out with no luck. Then them coming out and laughing at me like "Haha I wasn't really lost" Meanies..

Oh, right, those were the fun times..

Here is a look at the corn over the year.

There is the new coming up corn.

The is the somewhere in the middle but actually closer to the end corn.

The ready to go corn.

Then no corn.

Then we have to wait till next year, so we can trample half the field running through it like mad people (okay we only do this every year or so..), picking a bunch for the chickens, ducks, goats, and even the weird cat.

SHS 10.6.12.

If you were looking forward to seeing my shop this weekend, well lets just say that I forgot all about it and didn't do anything to make it ready for the public! I will try to work on it this week so you can finally see it!

Now, on to the hunt ;)

1-- This is a archive photo from February (see that fluffy white stuff?). Very surprisingly I couldn't find any good shadow pics so this is what you get!

I wasn't sure how I was going to do this. But I really wanted to focus on the sparkling water. So thats what I tried to do..

• Frame.
• Cloned out kayak.
• Brighten.
• Focal soften on bottom half.
• Vibrance at 39% opacity.
• Quote.
