You've been busy! Great shots. I like this one best, the patterns of light and shadow across the green.

Wow, are they only just cutting the hey there? It's long since been done here.I love how they are all lined up like a fence.

Do the round bales also belong to the Amish? Just wondering because I didn't think they had much in the way of machinery, and you certainly don't make those round bales by hand.

Alice, I think the Amish only make the corn shalks. There is a machine that makes the round bales. A friend of mine who grew up on a farm, said making these corn shalks is hard work. The friend who lives next door to the Amish farm says that the whole family -- right down to the 7 year old boy -- spend days making these shalks.

A perfect shot of an Ohio farm view. I really like your choice of framing and the point of view you give us is wonderful. Very charming.
