summer harvest
One of my favourite summer sights is seeing bales of hay sitting in the fields. I've been trying to carry my camera with me as I travel around so I can capture moments like these.
The hay wagon was a serendipitous find. It was sitting in the middle of a field with the hay so neatly stacked on it. I frequently drive this road and would have missed this completely had I not had my camera with me. The next time I drove past, the wagon was behind the barn and the hay was gone.
It's hard to believe that summer is winding down already. It's been incredibly hot and humid this year so on one hand, I'm looking forward to the clear, crisp days of Fall. But on the other hand, I'm always disappointed when the garden begins to wind down for another season. This year everything came out earlier than usual and I've noticed that it's finishing earlier than usual too.

Harvest season is so fun and beautiful! Lovely photos:)
ReplyDeleteI am jealous. I really want to take photos of some hay bales but there never seems to be the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I've looked forward to this season as well. Haybales in the fields always remind me of Van Gogh. le sigh.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them and for inspiring me to capture some of my own. :)
Aren't those bales a delightful subject? Beautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteI love the nostalgic mood these create, Lynda, both by the subject matter and the treatment. It's rare to see these bales here anymore – often they are covered in black plastic. But I did see one beautiful field full of them that I passed by, thinking I would go back. But I didn't. I'm glad you were able to capture these! xo – g
