haystacks are my FAVORITE! when we lived on a farm, we used to play on them. and then when ed and shirley moved us to lafayette, there were fields of them near our house. it was my FAVORITE time of year! the way the air felt, the way the grass smelled, and the landscape with the green and tan...i just love haystacks.
ReplyDeleteI just love haystacks – the way they seem to make order out of nature!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being that person, that one person, to see the beauty and thank you for sharing it with us!
Happy Easter to you!
Nothing like a roll in the hay..er I mean a roll OF hay to make your day, huh, Beautiful Beth ? ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous shots...off to visit the cute kiddos now...
Happy Good Friday !
Yes, there is so much beauty to be seen and shared. Good Friday blessings to you, too.

We have the hay like that all around this area. Great picture of it. The little hands by the ladybug are so sweet. I went to the other site to see the photos, so great.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fields and hay bales. Such a little thing, but certainly to enjoy - the little lady bug.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of all those bales...how can such a simple everyday thing be so interesting? Love those shots.
ReplyDeleteI love field photography! (That's what I call it, LOL)...have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeletein a wide open field of beauty ...i see it too, thank you for making such ordinary things not so...and those kids...wow what a sweet photo shoot you had...
ReplyDeleteI see it too, and you are so so right - somebody will see the beauty you saw. We see yours. (That sounds wrong. teehee.)

I love fields of hay bales...always reminds me of the farm, have a great weekend Beth, hugs.
ReplyDeleteI drive 30 minutes each day to a collection of school buildings that appear just when you(if this is first trip) are sure you're lost. I'm priveleged to teach at a country high school surrounded by fields such as these you've photographed. "My kids" are mostly from farms and one of our biggest programs is Vo-Ag. You've shown the beauty in this way of life. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to checking out your pictures---you have a gift of capturing the essence of your "subject(s)."
I'm also a grandma and my son has 4 children who mirror the spirit of those in the pictures below.
Oh Beth lovely shots as always.
ReplyDeleteI long for the smell of haystacks (and fool around in them, well not these tight rolled ones).
Happy Easter.

What lovely photos! This weather just has me completely giddy.
ReplyDeleteLove those landscapes with the rolls of hay. Nice!!!
ReplyDeleteThese shots are so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeth...your photos remind me of the recent activity around our place. Three days ago I started seeing tractors in the fields around our lake. Wow, it sure seems early for that.
ReplyDeleteHope your Good Friday was meaningful.
You are so right, but it takes an artistic eye to take the photo and then apply just the right processing to it to get something that is pleasing to the eye. You certainly did it right.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. You certainly do have a way of making the everyday seem unique.
ReplyDeleteAlways have to laugh when I see the rolls of hay. When my husband and I were on our honeymoon nearly 25 years ago, it was in late September, and the whole area we drove through in SD and MN had field after field of bales. We somehow started calling them buffalo herds, and created joke after joke about how the "buffalo" were being treated, sometimes badly as they had fallen from a truck; we even stopped by a field and took photos of each other either riding or petting a "buffalo". It is still part of our lives when we head out for our anniversary trips. [And we're both serious, so this is a bit outside our normal personality traits... but fun and funny, especially when g-kids are with us on a drive and have no idea we're so "strange" at times.]
ReplyDeleteIt's just field grass, but I too always marvel at what a farmer can do with a bale of hay.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Beth...so much to see and love if we open the eyes of our hearts!
ReplyDeleteI love hay bales in the fields...But I have never gotten use to them not being square. I love how little one'e enjoy the world. Friday I was able to explore two old abandoned farms and took a lot of photo's. I am still excited.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that ladybug is thinking?
ReplyDeleteYour fields of hay photograps are so beautiful! Now that is something you don't see in the big city areas like San Francisco!!
You are a wizard.
ReplyDeleteI always get whiplash when I see bales of hay in the fields as I drive by. What a gorgeous sight. Your captures are magical, as always.

ReplyDeleteI actually LOVE a field full of haystacks/rolls/bales... Coming froma farming family (sort of)- they just seem to call to me-lol!
ReplyDeleteThese images made me think of the first time I ever saw one of those huge round hay bales. I remember that I actually gasped. I thought they were so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis post also reminded me of the book Jospeh Had a Little Overcoat. Have you read it? I think you'd love it. It's just like you.
