Picture of the Day - 8/25/08


"The American Farmer" - We're driving from the Detroit area in Michigan through Ohio to visit with our good friends Bob & Mary in Indiana. This is a pretty typical farm in this part of the country. The crop pictured is soybeans, which are used in a variety of ways (oil, part of margarine, tofu and protein supplements). Feed corn is usually alternated with the crop of soybeans to keep the soil from "wearing out". I decided to emphasize the sky because the clouds were interesting and to give the farm a sense of place.
