Before the sunrise on a misty morning.  A soybean field on the side of Great River Road (US Highway 52/60/64) just outside of Wickliffe Kentuky.

Whorled Milkweed, Asclepias verticillata near the Kansas/Oklahoma border near Wichita, Kansas.

Old deadwood on the forest floor near Lye Brook Falls, Green Mountain National Forest, Vermont.  The forest floor smelt just as brown and leafy as this picture looks!
