This capture was a few rows over from the graceful stalk of corn depicted in yesterday's soft pastel image. I felt it demanded a starker, harsher edit. The styling needed to be as ruthless as the harvest. *A reference to Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching.

The farmers started harvesting the feed corn late in the evening and could only take one rotation around the edge of the field before calling it a day. The next morning, I spied this lone survivor 'guarding' the remaining phalanx of stalks. *The following morning, it and the 'army' were gone.

The pink flowers and green buds of a blooming Crepe Myrtle tree. The photograph is taken from below the tree towards the blue sky and fluffy clouds on a bright summer day. The colors are boldly intense and oversaturated. The photograph has added grain and gives the appearance of a vintage postcard. It depicts a hot and humid summer day.

Crepe myrtle flowers and a leaf captured on the ledge between a car's rear window and trunk. The flowers curve with the glass. A ray of sunlight through the tree's branches illuminated the single leaf in the picture perfectly. In the shaded background is the shedding tree.

The scene shows a shallow beach area looking out on the Chesapeake Bay from Hughlett Point Nature Preserve in Northumberland County, VA. The water is calm with a fallen tree in the shallow water near the shore. To the right foreground is a fallen tree that has been stripped of its bark and limbs by the weather. A stand of heavy brush blocks the view of the water on the right side of the image. The sky is a collection of wispy clouds. An odd string of low long cumulus clouds float just above the horizon.

The Robert O. Norris bridge is over 2-miles long and connects Virginia's Northern Neck an Middle Peninsula regions. Specifically Lancaster and Middlesex counties. Built in 1957, there was a toll on the bridge for many years. It served to isolate the Northern Neck from newcomers and economic expansion. Many longtime residents will say that "back in the day" they sometimes paid a late night toll with a cold beer to the bridge attendant. The toll is no longer in place. Thus the "Been-Heres" (born and raised in the area) are no longer "protected" from the "Come-Heres" (everyone else). But it's all good. Everyone gets along. It's a beautiful area. A pleasant little paradise. By the way, I'm a "Come-Here" for going on 30 years. The differentiation is more of a joke than a prejudice. Or, at least that's been my experience.

Please see the ALT for a little vignette about the bridge.

A private driveway entrance at night. It is illuminated by a streetlight. Because the road is surrounded by trees and scrubs, it appears to disappear into a black hole between the bushes. The scene stretches from the bright streetlight in the upper right corner diagonal across the image. The further the light extends, the more the darkness of night devours it. The lamp light finally surrenders to the darkness as it reaches the trees and foliage at the left of the image. In the center of the image, a street sign catches the light. It, and a few overhead wires are the only things to suggest anything inhabits the area.

A country road at night. Two streetlights illuminate the full summer foliage of the trees that surround the light. The surrounding trees are black, ominous silhouettes of mystery. The empty asphalt road below the lamps reflects the circles of light. Just above the tree line the faint sky is filled with wispy clouds.

This is what an American looks like. I shared a table and tent with Washington Birthplace National Monument during the Virginia Resolve event where a very large crowd participated in a citizenship ceremony. (Certificate redacted). xiomaro.com/event/virgin...
