Half Dead
Most days I take the back way to work, which means about a 20-mile drive on a two-lane farm road. I look at this tree every day, and have been a little sad this summer to see that most of the tree’s branches are dead.
The other morning, I pulled the car out of the garage, noticed interesting clouds in the west (the way I’d shortly be heading), and went back inside for the camera. And this is what I saw when I got to the tree.

Attention to detail is vital
An actual sign, out on the highway. I am pretty sure there’s nothing more to say…

Without any frame of reference, these dunes of millet could be dunes of anything. And located anywhere. It was oddly disorienting, because I was literally a few steps from the road.
But I liked the feeling.
(This is last of the ethanol plant photos. For now…)

“It seems like there ought to be birds.”
“Oh, THERE they are.”

It looks like a sand dune, doesn’t it? I guess it would correctly be called a millet dune, but that sounds sort of funny.
If you wanted, you could also call it “more or less 15% of the fuel in my tank, eventually.”
