Late August Corn

Woodbury, Connecticut, 8/30/21

It's been a rough season for the local farmers, alternating drought and downpours all summer. The corn looks quite stunted. Hot, humid, and hazy.

Sunflowers

People generally plant sunflowers in decorative groups, not a tiny cluster in dense green ground cover. Maybe it seeded itself from nearby.

Dusty Leaves

Walking across the bridge, I wondered why the tree branches overhanging the stream were such a weird light green. The I realized they were thickly coated with dust, even though we'd had rain recently.

The imported wildfire smoke is gone, but it's mid-summer in southern New England and even at 1:00 PM on a fairly clear day the sky is a pale, not deep, blue. This is a corner of a factory complex in the Waterville section of the city that has been vacant or abandoned for as long as I can recall, and I've been making photographs around Waterbury since 1975.
