Amber Waves

If you look up to the top of the hill you will see a field of wheat. Our little town is surrounded by thousands of acres of wheat as well as other crops. We see a lot of amber waves of grain this time of the year. For a closer look see the photo below.

Both of these photos were taken just before the wheat was harvested. Some of it could wind up on your table.

For more photos visit Freda's Tuesday Takes and Tina's Pic Story.

I love watching wheat fields before harvest. It is so beautiful how the whole field moves in the wind.
