The wheat field behind the house has been harvested leaving us with a yellow stubble carpet to look at. At least for now. Doubtless it will soon be ploughed and re-sown. This morning I watched the early morning sun spread down the hill. Liquid amber. The garden was still in deep shadow, but even so, the rudbeckia were not to be outdone, making their own sunshine.
you stunned me this view Tish – like those insects stuck in amber. One for the wall I would say!
Gorgeous photos – especially the second one. You caught the light of a beautiful scene.

You certainly have an eye for these great shots, but you outdid yourself with these!
Thank you, Thom 🙂
Love the golden carpet. Those rudbeckia are complete show-offs. You captured the scene beautifully.
They are such obliging plants, aren’t they. I need more garden!
I’m beginning to think I am going to have the same problem…
Need to investigate these vertical gardens where you plant stuff in pockets and turn a wall into a flowering wonder 🙂
Amber waves of grain can still be seen flowing the breeze.
That’s a lovely image, GP 🙂
I love these images….I could imagine them as very large posters? Thank you…Janet:)
Thank you, Janet.
These are beautiful, Tish, especially so when we have rain pouring down. 🙂 The light is wonderful, particularly in the second one.

Happy to send some brightness your way 🙂
There is so much that is beautiful and special in this world, love the rudbeckia.
I couldn’t agree more, Charlie. It’s good to keep remembering this.
Delicate colorful flowers … Very pretty. These look like paintings. Such a special view.

Thank you, Isadora.
Tish that is one astounding back yard! It looks like a painting in a gallery to me. 🙂
Aren’t we lucky, Sue. We enjoy it while it’s there – before the landowner builds a housing estate on it, which is what he wants to do. Hey ho! But then it perhaps makes us appreciate it the more.
So lovely 🙂
Thank you, Celestine. How are you, my dear?
Lovely. An unexpected bit of sun on an english landscape? 🙂
Hello, you. Habari yako? I was wondering where you were. I did sign up for your blog, but have not seen any posts in my reader. Have just been over to read ‘Crows’ and left a comment there. You have a great writing style, Brian, so asante sana for coming here and leaving a link. And yes – a golden England today – who’d’ve thought it.
Mimi na mzuri sana. 🙂 I just did not post in July (shock at the Nice killings. These things affect me greatly. I can’t post for a long while) Then I went to Paris last week of July and 3 weeks in August. 🙂 Including a 3 day “jump” to London. Can’t post while traveling either. But I have just posted a new one on San Francisco. Trying to get back to a posting discipline. Kwaheri Sasa.
Great capture! Liquid Amber, indeed! 😃
What gorgeous photos, Tish. Almost like paintings.
The second shot is worthy of a frame.
Thanks, Ark. Your offer of SA sunshine clearly worked today. So a big hug. I even found a crab spider in the spearmint flowers. You must have sent that too.
It is warming up a real treat down here. 27 at our spot today.
And nearly that here, today too. Snap!
I love looking at a yellow stubble field. It marks the end of a season and the beginning of another. That in itself is what propels writers and photographers.
Indeed. A turning point – harvest in, harvest to come 🙂
A beautiful golden glow, I love the second photo!
Simple pleasures, Tish, and a glorious sight 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
And to you too, Jo.
I would dive into these. So pretty!
Late summer’s gold. Quite lovely Tish.
Thank you 🙂
Fall’s colors are beginning to make their presence known.
