sun rays fanning down
through woolly gray clouds over
a still-green cornfield
After weeks of blistering sunshine in a cloudless sky, so surprising this morning to see a spectacular sunrise with crepuscular rays streaming through clumps of altocumulus clouds. I pull off a side lane to enjoy the ephemeral moment. The sun rays seem to be fanning a cornfield which is slowly being baked by a scorching wind which feels like being inside a convection oven. The tasseled tops of the corn are still green but the bases are turning a withered yellow from the drought. The clumpy cloud cover provides some relief from the direct sun but altocumulus are not rain clouds and by noon they've vanished into hot air.
