Black cherry???



Not sure what this blooming tree is, but by the leaves and the bark I thought wild cherry or black cherry. I took these over in Edgar County, Illinois at this little graveyard....if the graveyard had a name I did not see it.

Fields of gold....

Click any photo to enlarge
I took these pictures May 20--just a few days ago. Then while trying to visit all the blogs that participated in Skywatch Friday, I came across the post at Nature Remains. Look at those photos and then look at these and see if you think it kind of funny. Great Minds Do think alike!

It is kind of hard to believe but this corn will probably be to or well past 'knee-high by the Fourth of July.'

For Sky Watch Friday




As usual, to join in the fun, or just to visit people that have joined, see Tom at Welcome to Wigger's World.

I messed around again the other night trying to get moon shots...next time I am going to try to think and remove my filters. Hopefully that will eliminate the double images. I did have my camera on a tripod, and used a cable release for the shutter. If anyone wants to know the specific settings on these ask and I will try to get back to you relatively soon. On some I made the moon out of focus to make it appear bigger, but you still see the real moon in the reflection.
