I Stand Corrected and Harvest

A couple of days ago I shared how I doubted Google when their wizardry told me I was seeing algae bubbles on rocks. The fact that not all the rocks had the bubbles caused me to doubt what I was reading. To settle the mystery, today I went into the river and pulled one of the bubble-hosting rocks out. Sure enough, the bubbles I saw did appear to originate from the algae on the rock. I was wrong, Google was right, I learned something!

Near our home the last cornfield was being harvested this morning. Like a little kid, I could watch tractors and combines and trucks in the field all day. Since I had time, I took aerial and ground photos of the process.

As I was flying over the field being harvested I noticed how the standing corn and combined corn appeared like a rug/mat when I composed a small segment without anything else included in the image for reference.
