Driving through the country roads of Lancaster County near Intercourse, Pennsylvania, corn and tobacco crops are plentiful. With corn being harvested and tobacco drying high in the barn eaves, something that is an every day scene for the Amish is special event for me.
This morning is for your viewing pleasure and this afternoon more awards will be presented to many deserving fellow bloggers.
For those that are waiting on pins and needles to find out what is behind the Bishops Door, well….I went and looked at my photo library and honestly was quite disappointed by the lack of photos I took in the garden, and what I have aren’t what I consider show worthy. So either a new field trip is due, or this may be a wonderful opportunity to be creative.
For now, let’s enjoy some Tobacco & Corn. Have a wonderful day ! Bella

All amazing photos! Tobacco in Pennsylvania? Wow, never knew. 🙂 🙂
Me too ! It was a surprise to me as well! I saw it hanging in several barns.
I enjoyed the rustic look and feel of these images.
Interesting to me as well living in tobacco country that it is cultivated in PA as well.
You’re in real tobacco country Phil. Truly is a rite of passage there.
Yeah well you have to figure that any state that has a Marlboro County has to be big in tobacco.
I like very much these photos of crops, Emily. It is crops we don’t have, but that I have heard about, and of course we have both in the shops. That is, it is forbidden to display tobacco products in shops now, believe it or not, but you can get it if you know what you want and ask for it…
Really Bente? For certain you have corn at least I would think. Norway truly is an innovative country and trying to care for their citizens. They just legalized marijuana in a couple of states here for recreational use. Smoke still the same.
No corn fields in Norway, Emily, too cold. But I guess you can find a couple of plants in some gardens in the south part of the country. We even have problem growing wheat you now.. Barley and potatoes on the other hand! 🙂
There are some great textures in these images. I love how corn looks when it is dried out.
Thank you so much Leanne ! Truly appreciate your compliment as you’re such a fabulous photographer & coach. They actually use the corn stocks as fodder for cattle. Not a single thing is wasted.
Amazing textures and colours!
Thank you so much Madhu. Hope all is well with you.
Loooooving the depth of field in the second last one Emily! Great captures. 🙂
Awesome Ian ! I was thinking that it perhaps makes you wonder what is along that corn row and debated where to put the point of focus. Thank you so much for your compliment.
Your photos of corn and tobacco are brilliant; love them!!
You are too kind Judy! Thank you!
That’s really amazing to see the two together, Emily. Great photos. 🙂
The Amish are truly efficient in the space that they have. The farms that they own are so expansive !
Great shots and blog
Thank you so much ! I love your photography. So spot on, and unique subjects. Wherever do you ever find them?
Some of them in nature, others in zoos 🙂
Excellent shots… 🙂
Awww… thank you!
I love the pathway through the corn! Very mysterious!
Thank you so much Michael. I think it’s a personal favorite of this day.
