and in our immediate area, may well be the last cutting. we are in a drought very early this year.
The rich, sweet smell of the hayricks rose to his chamber window; the hundred perfumes of the little flower-garden beneath scented the air around; the deep-green meadows shone in the morning dew that glistened on every leaf as it trembled in the gentle air: and the birds sang as if every sparkling drop were a fountain of inspiration to them.
— Charles Dickens said that said
I know the lovely smell of the bales. A beautiful image.
Hay bales are always so photogenic, sherri – I love your picture. We too are suffering from a dire lack of rain
Wonderful composition and tones , timeless.
J’adore très belle ta photo en rétro
Bucolic quote for a bucolic shot
Bonjour Sherri, que j’aie l’odeur du foin frais coupé, quelle belle prise, superbe! Bise, bon week-end tout doux!
Your low light and toens create an nostalgic feel.
Fantasitque cet arbre avec les bottes de paille quelle compo sueprbe.
Belle soirée
Belle photo sépia…. rappelle les temps anciens.
The feed on rolls for the cows is well photographed here.
A lovely image in those muted colors.
Not as photogenic as the old style hay-ricks, which we no longer see.
I love seeing those big round hay bales.
Ah, that is a gorgeous image and I love the accompanying bit of Pickwick .
Very nice, Sherri.
Jolie photo de campagne, je sens l’odeur des foins.
There is the smell of hay and lots of things still under this timeless sepia and I love it!
The earth is parched right now, Sherri, in too many parts of our world and it alarms me. This is the first time in almost 10 years that I’ve seen The Netherlands without rain for too long. od have mercy!
that Charles Dickens can WRITE 🙂
i love those tootsie rolls of hay, it does make for a pretty picture doesn’t it?
Great landscape with these rolls of hays!! I love the tree’s dominating presence. We are heading into a drought as well as our lawns are turning brown. 🙁
I hope you get some rain! We are experiencing some very dry weather here too
Sometimes I’d rather be in a place like that, than the busy busy city!
A peaceful scene.
Oh I do love this photo. Equally as well I enjoy the perfect words of Dickens you’ve chosen.
