This is a beautiful old church in rural southwest Missouri.
It was in good shape, but kind of over grown.
I'm guessing it's not used any more.

It's getting to that time of year now when temperatures are
beginning to reach up near 100 degrees. Even cattle are
looking to cool off in the shade and in ponds if
they have access to one. If you like swimming in ponds,
as I did as a kid you should avoid the ones the cows use.

When I was 5 or 6 years old it was
allowed to feed the giraffes at the zoo. There was a particular
elevated vantage spot where I could stand face to face
with them and give them peanuts one at a time from
my open hand. It was cool and scary at the same time.
That enormous gray tongue would snake down and
trade that peanut for drool. (the cameleopard)

I was driving through a rural area of northeastern Kansas, south of Kansas City. The fields were planted right up to the edge of the road. It seemed the plants might grow out onto the blacktop and converge in the middle.

During the heat of the day, cattle gather together in ponds and under hedge rows to stay cool. Though you don't think of cows as being camouflaged, they do tend to disappear into the dark shadows. Their individuality blurs into a larger unified mass that gives bulk to the shadow.

I've always liked the grid setup of the roads in some sections of Kansas, every mile you come to an intersection of another road. Here you can see where the next crossroad will be by the row of trees that line it in the distance.

"I have always had faith in extreme close-ups such as this one. They have their own charm, ensuing from the amount of detail concentrated on the very limited space -- the very essence of the presented theme. And though this piece is a miniature both in size and theme, it is not such in the aesthetic implications, which may be rich and vast, and which hold their own when compared to any regular landscape. The seemingly untidy and random composition carries an important and adequately self-important message of the beauty of nature; of how it can be found in almost any surroundings. The untidiness is a superficial camouflage of the well thought-out plan that constitutes this painting. Hence, the artist achieves what may be the primary goal of every painter: to make it look easy what was difficult to accomplish."
