The third photo series - though I am now remembering previous series ideas (The Stillwater and Ohio Barns - that's a really old one from when I was driving back and forth between Versailles and Urbana University) - so - the third series - "Outstanding in their field". I know I've already written about how fascinated I've always been with the way whereever you look in the Ohio countryside, you see the edge of some forest. It has been beaten back to make our acres and acres of fields, but the primordial forest of Ohio still peeps out. (Perhaps, primoridal is overstating the issue - but don't you wonder how long those little miniwoods have stood?) In addition, at very regular, irregular intervals you'll see a tree or a small collective of trees at the edge of what may have been or may still be a fence row or where a home once stood or who knows? I love these brave trees standing alone or in small groups hoping to recapture the fields and take Ohio back. (You can see some of this in Post 1, too.)
Here are a very few sending their love and speaking their courage.
