This rural scene, once common all over Guilford County, is getting a little harder to find these days. Over the last ten years, Greensboro's population has increased 29% and with that population increase, we are losing farmland. The above farm is actually out of town, Near Oak Ridge on Route 150. The majestic oak, barn, tin roof and rolled hay look so nice together. It is Friday and we'd like to say we're heading out of town. However, locals will recognize that this is actually a scene leading INTO Greensboro.
We're sharing this with Sky Watch Friday, a meme where people all over the world share a photo of the sky above. We found a great website where where you can identify hues of blue. We're labeling today's sky Maya Blue. It's not exact but it is close! If you posted a Sky Watch, what color is your sky? Check here!
My favorite triad of nature colors, blue of sky, green of summer, gold of the sun. Love this photo!

Great shot. That was once a common sight here too. August was a time of tall corn and hay baling.
Now it is back to school and a break from the activities of July and the busy Autumn season ahead.

If you are referring to John Denver, then that's one of my favourite songs! Lovely country shot!
