Today's Flowers: We Play with our Food Here in Connecticut

corn

Here's an ear of corn the stalk of which created part of the maze my daughter and her friends and cousin traveled on Saturday to mark her 12th birthday. The day was soft and dull, and the only sunlight came from the corn itself.

Happy Birthday to your daughter. I am sure being surrounded by her friends she didn't even notice the sun wasn't out. The corn is a beautiful shade of sun. Happy Halloween too.

The corn cob really looks like it is made of polished gold! A great shot indeed!

wow she is twelve already? I know what you mean about the sun. I have been enjoying the light when it does shine as everything has kind of a orangey/yellow glow. There is a freeze warning for our area tonight.

It must've been fun to spend your birthday finding your way out of the maze. It resonates life especially as she enters her teen years!

What fun to walk through a corn maze. I haven't done that for a while! Sounds to me like a great way to celebrate a 12th birthday!

A Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter. There's a very popular corn maze not too far from our house that the youngsters (and a few not-so-youngsters) really enjoy.
