It’s been gloomy and grey here
And I’m sad to see winter trying to say farewell.
But sometimes, all you have to do
Is look up (and hope you have your camera with you)
And appreciate the rays of light where you find them.

Very cool, I love when the sun makes it through the clouds like that.

Back in the dark ages, I went to Catholic grade school and if we were good little girls, we would get Holy Cards with pictures of the saints — who were always surrounded by “heaven’s” rays that looked exactly like your pictures. I don’t go to church now, but I do believe that the sun showers blessings on us — (and definitely on you). Thanks for sharing them!

to answer your questions…those are corn shocks. The amsh cut the corn with a binder and stand them up like a teepee until the ear of corn dries enough to be harvested. If the ear of corn is not thoroughly dry it will mold if they put it in a storage bin.
