I discovered this picture the other day. It was the day we took the boys to the pumpkin patch. It was the patch on the coast near Davenport. It was the first time for all of us at a "real" patch.
We arrived first thing in the morning, after we treated ourselves to breakfast at a restaurant! No one was there except us. The nice lady at the stand asked if we wanted to attempt the corn maze they had on site. She explained some rules and hints and gave us an estimated escape time of 45 minutes. We weren't going to do it, mostly because of the time, but the boys really wanted to and, heck, we were having family day so why not?
After approximately 10 minutes in, we (Richard and I) got the fever. The lady said this sometimes happens. The closterphobic feeling that starts to resemble, "The Blair Witch Project", but during daylight hours. It didn't help that the path was VERY bumpy, full of broken and rotting corn stalks making it difficult to walk, and painful on the ankles.
...back to the picture. While Richard was going down a dead end path, I stopped and looked up. It was then that I realized what a pretty view it was from inside the maze... with the ocean in the distance. To me, it semed odd that there were corn stalks that close to the ocean. This, I thought, doesn't look anything like Iowa's corn. I know, I've been there.
Anyway, I didn't think much of this picture until I stumble upon it the other day. I like it now. Seperate from the rest of that day. Alone. Although the horizon is a bit slanted, and considering it's from my point-and-shoot, not bad, I still like it.
