“Mary was bigger than Laura, and she had a rag doll named Nettie. Laura had only a corncob wrapped in a handkerchief, but it was a good doll. It was named Susan. It wasn't Susan's fault that she was only a corncob. Sometimes Mary let Laura hold Nettie, but she did it only when Susan couldn't see.”

Call me ignorant but I had no idea that corn comes in such interesting and unusual colours. Last weekend I saw these corncobs which served as decoration on the roof of a food stall in a local park. At first I thought they were fake but no, they are real. My normal yellow corncobs will look quite boring to me from now on.
What has not gone under the harvester is an important source of food for many animals in winter.
Was nicht unter die Erntemaschine geraten ist, ist für so manche Tiere im Winter eine wichtige Futterquelle.
Looking at me as I snap its picture :)
This is our lot line fence next to our back patio.
We place dried corn cobs on a nail so the squirrels and birds can enjoy them. Not many kernels left on this cob!
I bought this colourful corncob at the pumpkin exhibition. It's so called Indian corn or Flint corn and edible although I mainly bought it as a decoration. Turns out that the boy cats love it and I suppose that my new decoration will have a short lifespan.
A simple capture of this cardinal peeking through the bushes. Behind it are the cobs of corn that our neighbor puts out for all the birdies :)
Finally, it's harvest time! We enjoy walking across the open fields and the delicious corn!
Many thanks to all who takes the time to view, comment and fave my pictures!
Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. Wikipedia C. 1964
Marina City is a mixed-use residential/commercial building complex that occupies an entire city block on State Street in Chicago, Illinois. It sits on the north bank of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, directly across from the Loop district. The complex consists of two corncob-shaped, 587-foot (179 m), 65-story towers, which include five-story elevators and physical plant penthouses. It also includes a saddle-shaped auditorium building, and a mid-rise hotel building, all contained on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name. Designed by Bertrand Goldberg, Marina City was the first building in the United States to be constructed with tower cranes.

The Royal Grand Palace is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam and later Thailand since 1782. It consists of not only royal and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square metres and is surrounded by four walls, 1900 metres in length. After King Rama I ascended to the throne in 1782, the palace was built. Prior to this, the royal palace and centre of administration had been located in Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. For various reasons, the new King considered the former capital to be unsuitable and decided to establish a new capital on the other side of the river. Admission fee is free of charge for Thais and 500 baht for foreigners. You'll need to wear culturally appropriate attire when visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok. This means being well covered. Visitors should wear long skirts/trousers and sleeved shirts—basically anything that covers more than the lower arms and head. Fortunately, after the covid period, it is not yet busy with tourists. Thailand has just ended their quarantine policy. Face masks are no longer mandatory. Great to visit the Grand Palace one more time now and see the Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn, a corncob-shaped tower, called a prang. The two golden Phra Suvarnachedi are located east of the terrace, on either side of the steps that lead to the Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn.
Impressive 200 years of royal history and architecture at the Grand Palace in Bangkok with more than 100 buildings. The Royal Grand Palace has been the official residence of the kings of Siam. It is the city's biggest tourist attraction and a pilgrimage destination for devout Buddhists. Most of the architecture, royal or sacred, is classified as Ratanakosin - old-Bangkok style. The Royal Pantheon is located on the east side of the upper terrace near the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. In 1782, King Rama I founded the Chakri dynasty in Bangkok. This building with a corncob-shaped tower (called a prang) also called Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn. It is only open to the public on Chakri Day, which is celebrated on April 6. Next to the Royal Pantheon are two golden Phra Suvarnachedi. The two chedi were built by Rama I to commemorate his parents. The two chedi are almost identical. They each have a marble octagonal base 8.5 meters wide and topped with a golden square stupa with triple indented corners 16 meters high. The upper spire is decorated with nine levels of layered lotus bud motifs. The structures are covered with copper plates, painted over with lacquer and gilded with gold leaf.
De Royal Grand Palace is een gebouwencomplex in het hart van Bangkok, Thailand. Het paleis is sinds 1782 de officiële residentie van de koningen van Siam en later Thailand. Het bestaat niet alleen uit koninklijke en troonzalen, maar ook uit een aantal regeringsgebouwen en de beroemde Tempel van de groene Smaragd Boeddha. Het heeft een oppervlakte van 218.000 vierkante meter en is omgeven door vier muren van 1900 meter lang. Nadat koning Rama I in 1782 de troon besteeg, werd het paleis gebouwd. Daarvoor was het koninklijk paleis en het bestuurscentrum gevestigd in Thonburi, op de westelijke oever van de Chao Phraya-rivier. Om verschillende redenen vond de nieuwe koning de voormalige hoofdstad ongeschikt en besloot hij een nieuwe hoofdstad te stichten aan de andere kant van de rivier. De toegangsprijs is gratis voor Thais en 500 baht voor buitenlanders. In april 1981 gebruikte de plaatsvervangend commandant van het Thaise leger, generaal San Chitpatima, het paleis als zijn hoofdkwartier voor een poging tot staatsgreep tegen premier Prem. De staatsgreep mislukte mede door ingrijpen koning Bhumibol. Een paar uur later ontmoette generaal Prem echter koning Bhumibol in zijn paleis in Bangkok en de koninklijke familie en de premier vloog naar een legerbasis in Noordoost-Thailand. Premier Prem kondigde op de radio aan dat hij niet was afgetreden. Het Thaise leger trok zich weer terug uit het paleis. Gelukkig is het na de covid periode nog niet druk met toeristen. Thailand heeft zojuist hun quarantainebeleid beëindigd. Mondkapjes zijn niet meer verplicht. Geweldig om het Grand Palace nu nog een keer te bezoeken. Het Koninklijk Pantheon in het Grand Palace met een maïskolfvormige toren een prang genoemd bevindt zich aan de oostkant van het bovenste terras bij de tempel van de smaragdgroene Boeddha. In 1782 stichtte koning Rama I, de Chakri-dynastie in Bangkok. Dit gebouw, ook wel Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn genoemd, Het is alleen open voor het publiek op Chakri-dag, die op 6 april wordt gevierd. Twee gouden Phra Suvarnachedi bevinden zich ten oosten van het terras, aan weerszijden van de trappen die naar de Prasat Phra Thep Bidon leiden. De twee chedi werden gebouwd door Rama I om zijn ouders te herdenken. Ze hebben elk een marmeren achthoekige basis van 8,5 meter breed en bekroond met een gouden, vierkante stoepa met drievoudige ingesprongen hoeken van 16 meter hoog. De bovenste torenspits is versierd met negen niveaus van gelaagde lotusknopmotieven. De structuren zijn bedekt met koperen platen, overschilderd met lak en verguld met bladgoud.
Not too sure why they were doing this but it look like they were having fun. They would toss the corn cob in the air and jump at the same time
