Slow Going 11-05-21

********
“Getting behind slow moving
Farm equipment for two miles
In the country is equivalent
To waiting for two stop
Lights in the City.

You’ll survive.

Stay back; enjoy the
Scenery and share the road.
It’s harvest season.”

We actually pulled off the narrow road to let this farmer pass us to continue on his way.
My doing leaf peeping with photography made us even slower than him.

The native plants in our area are not known for beautiful fall colors.
Green to brown is pretty much the norm; except for non native tree and plant species.
This was "Fall Color" peak here.

Laughed about your commentary... imagine myself stopping for photos and waving others to pass around me. We don't get a lot of autumn color either.

Love the poem, it is just like that out in the valley here. Love your shot too. V

It's all about harmony here and the beauty of country living in more ways than one.

Well assessed and stated, Liz. Can be longer than a few stop lights. Blessings. V
