Haha. A little play on the word maize for my title.
Another spectacular sunset this evening here in Virginia Beach. Just had to find the right place to capture this gorgeous sunset and I think I did pretty good this cornfield and barn. Not only did I have to find a good place to compose this image, but it had to be easily accessible and some place I could park my truck.
Feel free to let me know what you think and thanks for looking.
There are two lighthouses located at Cape Henry within Fort Story military base near the northern end of Virginia Beach.
Red Breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) perched on a pine tree in a pose typical for this breed. A flurry of these birds arrived to a relative's backyard in Virginia Beach, VA and then departed as quickly as they came.

requesting grace to reveal itself in sand dunes and sunshine and love and love and love as i put one foot in front of another today.
Looking out from our fifth-floor hotel balcony, with the VA Beach boardwalk in the lower foreground.
This is the main tourist beach of VA Beach, and most of the time it was pretty heavily populated with people, but for whatever reason this stretch was empty for around twenty minutes, allowing me to snap this lovely shot. :)
There was also a storm rolling in, as you can see in the pic, but the sun was still shining on the beach and water from behind the hotels, creating the wonderful contrast I was able to capture. :)
This large bronze statue of King Neptune is a located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA. It was sculpted by Paul DiPasquale. The statue depicts the mythological god Neptune and is located at the entrance of Neptune Park on the Virginia Beach boardwalk at Laskin Road. This sculpture weighs 12 tons and stand 34 feet tall. It was built and opened in 2005. The design consists of a 12-foot tall rock base surrounded by various fish, dolphins, lobsters, and octopuses. Above this base, the figure of Neptune begins, starting with his waist. Neptune holds a trident in his right hand and rests his left hand on a loggerhead turtle.
In 2003, the Neptune Festival requested submission designs for a statue. Cameron Kitchin, the Director of the Contemporary Arts Centre of Virginia Beach asked DiPasquale to submit his design of a statue of King Neptune. DiPasquale sent the clay model to the Festival’s sculpture committee.
Upon arriving in the United States, the three pieces needed interior support before being reassembled. Due to exceeding its budget, the Chinese manufacturers inserted a weak metal to support the statue. This material was cleared out and substituted by a stainless steel skeletal support. According to DiPasquale, replacing the interior and reorganizing the individual pieces together required a month and a half of welding.
In 2015, the 7 foot maquette that served as a model for the sculpture was donated for display at the Cape Charles boardwalk.
