August in south
central Pennsylvania is always marked by a dry landscape of washed out pale greens
or browns. Rain comes only in the form of thunderstorms that may drop lots of rain,
but it evaporates quickly. Hay fields stop growing and the plants wither. Corn
fields start losing their vibrancy and the edges of the leaves begin to turn a
yellowish brown. To sum up the views in a word – blah.
This August is
different! Rainy days have been the norm. They have been spread out evenly over
the summer. What would normally be dull is now bright green. The different
crops provide a patchwork of greens from the dark green of the corn fields to
bright green pastures and different shades between. Here are some photos of the fields along Route
75 through Path Valley Pennsylvania.
