Homage to Dad, red barns, green country side, Walking Dead

Linda stopped the car, turned around, and took aim for a picture of this scene when she saw it. It is a gorgeous scene, and inspires mania to think there ought to be a law to require barns to be either weathered gray or painted red. That's homage to my father, who believed red was the most wonderful color in the spectrum. It's homage to these fabulous green days. And it's homage to Walking Dead, to paraphrase the nun, "Everything is better than its worst trait." Nodding thistle, the bane of agriculturists, has no place in cow country. But it does have, besides it's beauty, a benefit to some wildlife, including hummingbirds, goldfinches, butterflies, and bumbly & honey bees. Sometimes, there are two sides to a story. Never in telling the truth - that's a constant - but in plant life , it is sometimes amazing how wrong headedness tries to exterminate some of the really good guys - like hemp and marijuana - before looking at the big picture. - EW Comments | Permalink

From across the campus - the tree in the Crown

One sees, momentarily, the illusion of a tree growing through the crown of Begley Chapel; at first, reminiscent of those wonderful old abandoned silos with with a trumpet vine 'do. A bit ironic, since the architect drew on silos as an inspiration for the famed structure. But it's not, of course. Begley Chapel is one of the most meticulously maintained places of worship in the nation, and is certainly one of the most famous. - EW Comments | Permalink
