stubble

 The warm season has been filled with growing flora in pastures, forests, and fields. Things are changing and summer turns to fall. Corn fields are being turned into silage. 

 Trucks on the roads carrying winter rations to storage. The silage spills out the top like bright green confetti.

Leaves on the maple trees are just starting to turn.

The only real upside to this transition is that as fields are reduced to stubble, and trees lose their leaves and fall to the earth, vistas open up. Forests are not hidden by the summertime mantle of greenery, and faraway mountains appear again along roadsides hitherto bordered by fields of corn.
