While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Summer is over and school is back in session. While some college campuses are reopening for a few classes, other universities are sticking to virtual classrooms. But with the start of the term comes a whole lot of challenges for students, professors and institutions.
