Fall Foliage (High Plains Version)
Well, I realize we’re not likely to ever be overrun by busloads of tourists seeking a glimpse at our fall foliage.
A light rain earlier in the day brought out the muted colors in the dying grasses.

PS – I know. Color. Sometimes that’s the right thing to do.
Or is it?
Fringe
The fringe of the field, going from crop to dirt. But in a lovely way.

Full of promise
I’ve been watching this field for a decade now; it’s a dryland farm, so the farmer is dependent on the right amount of rain at the right time for his crop. I’d guess that half the years I’ve watched, he hasn’t had any crop at all – all those drought years were tough. Usually he grows (or tries to) cotton, but this year he switched to sorghum.
And maybe he’ll get to harvest it soon.

Triple Clean
The only thing better would be quadruple cleaned, right?
