Fall Color, Windmills and Sting...

The soy field behind our house has turned this amazing vibrant yellow. Everywhere I go, the corn is turning brown, the soy is yellow, and the leaves are just starting to show a hint of orange. I never really understood about the "amber waves of grain" I sang about in grade school until I saw the Midwest. Its incredible. One interesting side effect of waking up to a bright yellow soy field every morning is that I perpetually have the song "Fields of Gold" by Sting stuck in my head...

"Shadows in Dudley"

"Grain Elevator"

"Yellow Soy"

On a recent trip to Bellflower, IL, we took a detour to photograph a large cluster of windmills. Some people dislike the way windmills look on a horizon, but I think they blend with the pattern of planted rows of soy really nicely. They're beautiful in their own way -- and who can argue with clean, abundant energy?

The Stuff I Saw Along The Way...

We've been really busy getting the word out about Jordana Wright Photography in our new region. After numerous trips around town, distributing business cards and flyers, and some adjustments/updates to the website, everything seems to be falling into place. With all of the work to be done in my office, its a definite relief to get out into the country side to explore. We're still enjoying some beautiful weather in the Mid. Every day has been a new adventure -- exploring country roads, backwoods, and stopping to photograph all the stuff I see along the way. Here are some of the shots from the past week -- all taken in and around Paris, Illinois.

Don't forget to stop by the website to see all the recent additions!
