Monday's Country Backroads

click on photo to see the beauty!
Can you guess what is in the photo? When I look at it, it reminds me of green corduroy fabric. This is a recently cut hay field, located on a side of a hill. It is so perfectly cut that it could have been sketched and painted on canvas.

What I have discovered by living in the country, is the overwhelming beauty that surrounds me. Nature's art is in everything the eye can see.


The country backroad to the farm continues to have wildflowers in bloom, like the Firewheel. You may also know this flower as Indian Blanket.












Isn't she a beauty?

    I am always amazed at how nature places seemingly clashing colours next to one another and they look beautiful. When we do the same , it looks awful.

    The furrowed field of grain is just perfect. I immediately thought "Amber waves of grain".

      And, I think the fact that it is on a hill, intensifies the beauty!

    You are so right, we have only to look for the beauty. I particularly like the undulations of the land and the sweep of the lines - thanks to Maarit I can also smell the hay! Firewheels are hot, hot, hot!

      Hello Elaine...I've always called them "Indian Blankets", but my search today, also gave the name Firewheel. And speaking of hot....it was another incredibly hot day of 102 degrees.

    I love the hay photo. Yes, the country is the place to be. Just don't everybody move there.

    Meggie, It does look like corduroy or a comfy knitted sweater. And, you know, I'm a sucker for wildflowers and you've captured her beauty perfectly...Mother Nature would be proud! XOXO
