In the shade of the woods |

The sunflower |
Sun struggles behind morning clouds above McKee Beshers WMA |

End of the trail at the cornfield |
Entering the cornfield |
On the other side of the cornfield |
The towpath beyond the cornfield |
The river on the other side of the towpath |
Heading back into the cornfield |
Through the cornfield! |
In a corn field at he end of the trail |
A field in McKee Beshers WMA |
Stream in the Wildlife Management Area |
Settling down on the rock |
The seat |

In the sunflower garden |
Amidst the flowers |
