What can I say other than I really enjoy looking over our heartland horizon. The combination of one-third landscape and two-thirds works for me. Here’s hoping that you agree.

Heartland Horizon
Midas Touch
There is no doubt about it. Even in the heartland, this is a truly colorful time of the year. It seems that everywhere one looks, one can see that Mother Nature really has a Midas Touch.
Unity
Sometimes even the most simple subject can turn into an interesting image with just a bit of help. This plant drew my attention when I noticed that it was so consistent in its colors and textures. Given that foundation, the rest of my work with this went well. Sometimes one needs a bit of unity in an image to really make it work.
Heatland Shadows
I took a less traveled road today and this is what I found…a field of corn patiently waiting for the final harvest. Life is good in the heartland.
Harvest Gate
Just when I thought I had a complete set of images of my front gate, I found another that just had to be shared. This image is titled 
Harvest Gate.
Return To Sender
This is one of those moments that paid off when I had my head in the clouds. As you might notice, a rather unique cloud drifted overhead recently, making for an interesting image. Truth be told, it was not easy to pull this cloud out of its background. Hopefully you will agree with me that it was worth the effort. On the other hand, if you are not thrilled by this image, you can always return it to sender.
Tranquility
I spend a good deal of time with my head in the clouds, looking for something interesting to photograph. Fortunately, I do have those occasional moments when I remember to look at what is beneath my feet. This image was made during one of those quiet times when I remembered to bring my mind back to the simple pleasures that can be found on the ground. When discovered, I almost always have a feeling of peace and tranquility.
Heartland Highway
If you are looking for a quick run to the grocery store or anywhere else, this simple country road is not for you. However, if you are looking for a scenic drive on a less traveled road, this heartland highway could be exactly what you are looking for. For the curious, this road is a gravel surfaced dust machine running through southwest Iowa. Personally, I love it. Here’s hoping you will enjoy this image of a road that runs right by my home.
Multiple Choice
For those of you who follow my musings, you no doubt have noticed that I have made some fundamental changes in this effort. Hopefully this is an improvement. Honestly, this has been nothing short of my usual tech war. After more than two weeks, I think I am in a position to post a new image. This one is built on that old school assignment of shooting something that is no further than ten feet from you front door. I made this image right outside of my front door. It reminds me of a something that has long been a basic item/tool in my professional career. I call this image “Multiple Choice.”
