Softly

Daybreak softly creeps across the landscape.

Gratitude

Life is good. It is not perfect yet it is pretty good. I have decent health, four walls as well as a roof and a bed, reliable hydro and gas, good work, healthy and good dogs, a lovely partner who is also my companion and best friend.

I have so much to be grateful for.

Moonset

After capturing the sunrise in my previous post I turned around. Here is the magical scene that greeted me.What a wonderful morning, what a blessing, what a rich man I am.

Harvest

Wheat harvest is in full swing. A combine marches through the wheat; when it reaches the end of this swath it will do-si-do and roundabout onto the next swath.

Ready

Combines are beginning to take off the wheat, I expect this field will succumb soon to the march of the harvest.

Drawn

Lately, I have been drawn to fields of winter wheat. They are ripening, nearing harvest. Combines have been moving through town and on local roads, presumably pre-positioning for the harvest hustle and bustle.

It’s one of the early, large scale crops to come off. This field will come off soon. With this weekends’ predicted very hot weather, soon may be a very few days from today.

I’m drawn in, reminded of what a fruitful, bountiful part of the word I’m blessed to live in.

A ‘weed’ echoes the shape of its much taller neighbour.
