This is a field of buttercups just outside Brookport, Illinois. You can see Brookport's new watertower in the city park just beyond the woods behind the field. Soon this field will be poisoned or plowed for agriculture, but at least in the early spring we are treated to a blast of color that only nature can provide. Isn't it incredible? And the photo doesn't really capture the vastness of the field. But you get the idea, right?
