July in the Country


July in the Country


I was not raised on a farm, there is so much I don't know about farming.

I was raised in a semi-rural area and when I walked out my back door the farmer's fields were right there at the end of our property.



I used to watch Mr Kennedy on his tractor and then after the wheat harvest we were allowed to walk across the field.





Today, living in the country on a farm part time I have learned a couple of things.



I have learned that when the heads of the wheat bend down it is time to harvest.  This will usually happen late July.







These are such hot and lazy days.









I look forward to the wheat harvest and this is why.



Getting photos like this after the straw has been rolled makes me bounce out of bed and run out of the house in pyjamas and rubber boots, camera in hand.



It's not always easy to get the light just right.



Sometimes you have to wait for a cloud to float by.



What I didn't like about walking across Mr Kennedy's fields after the harvest was the wheat stubble.  It always scratched my ankles.

 That's why I took to wearing boots.




I love those long shadows and the colour of the light.



Before you go....



We want to show you one more thing.




A spectacular summer sunset.

 I like this one because at the top of the picture you can see an illuminated jet trail.



Thanks for stopping by.
