Description
Pumpkins and Indian Corn - Dora Sofia Caputo
Image captured during a pumpkin picking visit to a pumpkin farm,on Long Island, New York.
The sound of rustling leaves and the aroma of smoke from wood-burning fireplaces are hallmarks of autumn. Really, the fall harvest season wouldn't be complete without ears of Indian corn embellishing the decor in homes and businesses. From wreaths to centerpieces, Indian corn seems to be everywhere in October and November. Everywhere, that is, except on a dinner plate. It's corn, but can you actually eat it? And where did it come from?
According to folklore, these colorful ears were named after the indigenous people of North America. They'd been cultivating it for years when they introduced it to the Europeans who arrived in the Western Hemisphere in the 15th century. But "Indian corn" isn't exclusive to the North American continent. Experts say that it grew in China, India and South America for centuries. And our ancestors didn't decorate with it -- they ate it.

I really like the subdued tones in this one, Dora. It manages a quiet, almost reflective mood while retaining the warmth of the autumn season.
