We had company again this weekend and they headed out bright and early this morning. As we walked them to the car to say goodbye, I noticed how GORGEOUS the early morning light was reflecting on everything around me. Their car was no sooner out of our driveway and I was already in the closet grabbing my camera bag.
I thought I would share some of the beauty that surrounds us.

This field is up the street from our house and the sea of wheat grass(I think that is what it is) looked so pretty blowing in the wind.

This little patch on the side of the road caught my attention because of the beautiful backlighting!

Around the corner the grapes are beginning to grow. Eventually they will be turned into wine:)

We live in an area that is surrounded by farms and lots of cornfields.

Right now the corn is sprouting up everywhere....

Including the farm that is just behind our house.
Actually, this is the first photo I took this morning right in our own backyard.
With all the rain we have had, it is growing rather quickly this season!

Once I got close enough, I realized that there were actually little water droplets on all the stalks that made for a few more interesting shots.

It's rare that I have my camera in hand so early in the morning, but after today, I am thinking I might have to do it more often.
Happy Sunday Everyone!
Feel free to ask any questions if you have them. I am always happy to answer.
Shot with a Canon 5d Markiii
The close up shots of the cornstalks were taken with 100mm Macro and everything else was taken with a 70-200mm. Settings varied from shot to shot. The only thing constant was my ISO that remained at 100.
