IOWA'S BEAUTY

I seem to put a lot of desert roads on the blog, and except for this years Queen Anne's Lace, very few from Iowa. Our state is pretty in its own way. There are many flowers along our roads. Here's an example.

This one had a little help to get the holly hocks.

I don't know how many of you know what a Grant Wood painting looks like, but usually they have terraced crops in the picture. These two are similar by showing how the corn flows from one area to another.

It amazes me that every stalk grows to the same height. You'd think there'd be at least one obstinate one in the field!
