Doing A Double Take

This crop duster over a sugar beet field in Payette, Idaho, reminded me of a scene from the movie North by Northwest, sans Cary Grant and corn!

When I spotted this sign outside of a house in Charlemont, Massachusetts, I thought it must be the home of some desperate parents! It took me a minute to realize they were selling goats!

On my first visit to Oregon, I wasn't aware that there were open range cattle, so coming around the corner and meeting this fella sure had me doing a double take! As you may notice, this picture was taken through my windshield!

Japanese Red Maple Tree

Deerfield, Massachusetts

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Joyce Kilmer 1886 - 1918
