I live in Buffalo, Minnesota, a community of about 15,000 people that’s a short drive to the suburbs of Minneapolis. I don’t consider Buffalo a suburb in the true sense, however; it’s a town with a long history and its own personality. And from our home, we can see horses, cows (both dairy and beef), and fields of corn and soybeans. I love the juxtaposition of town meeting countryside, and I hope our little city doesn’t outgrow that – at least not too much.
Last night, the wind died down (it was howling all day long) so I snuck out of the house for a short run around 8 p.m. The sunset was glorious as it peaked over the corn fields and I took a few photos along the path I run on several times a week. You wouldn’t even know we live in a housing development with many houses by the looks of it – and that’s just the way I like it.

P.S. If you’re on Instagram, you can follow me via @MNGobbleGal and you’ll see more photos like this, plus plenty of our pug, Earl, who is quite popular in his own right on Instgram. (Go figure!) I often use different filters on my photos, as well. Most of these below were created with Snapseed, a free photo editing app I downloaded on my iPhone.
Go Buffalo Bison!
Corn.
Soybeans.
Cattails leading toward a little pond.
Uh oh. The sumac is starting to show its fall colors. Already?
A soybean #selfie? 🙂
