Child of the corn

I’m gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin’ my corn pop up in rows ~ Tim McGraw (Jess Leary/Craig Wiseman)

Ok, it’s not my corn but I own it in my mind.

I stepped from the green grass in my backyard into the cornrows to watch the clouds dance across the field of blue above me.

Like a child, I sat down to greet the cornrows on their own level. The roots looked a bit parched so I stood up and did a little dance of my own.

One with the corn, I reached alongside the 10-foot stalks to fight for my share of the life-sustaining light and warmth of a late-July sun.

Firewater

Actually this post is about the fountain at Newport on the Levee at Newport, Ky.

At first glance it looks as if fire is spewing from the same holes as the water; on closer examination, the optical illusion is explained.

I guess the illusion of fire comes from the lights reflecting on the water.

On this last one it looks as if the same stream of water arcs into opposite holes, which is not the case.
