A mature stand of wheat has always looked beautiful to me.
Here is one I came upon just as it was in the first day of two of ripening.
Adding to the scene's attraction is the location in the flats right at the very edge of the foothills.
Wind was blowing and whirling pretty vigorously--even violently at times.
The blowing wind was bending the normally vertical heads over different directions across the field due to turbulence this close to the hills.
Fields of grain never ripen exactly at once--there are always variations of ripening colors across the field in the first couple of days due to variations in soil water or other factors.
I just happened to come by this one at just the right time to see its color variations before the whole field turned golden.
The variations of light due to spotty clouds in the sky also helped enrichen the colors.

Great variation in colouring.

Great variation in colouring.

Thank you! Seems I caught it just at the perfect time.
I'm not sure though, if the farmer who owns it wants quite that much variation--the weather might be to blame.

It will all finally be a golden colour as it ripens.

Very nice scene. Fields like this are soothing to view. Nice colors.

Makes me want to kick up my feet, and relax awhile.

Beautiful agriculture scene set against the trees as a backdrop. I grew up surrounded by wheatfields in rural Montana, but it was a much different panorama with wheat fields stretching about as far as the eye can see with no trees, just a big, blue sky.

Yes, em, it does get all golden.
I was by there yesterday and that is the way of it.
My only thought about the farmer is that s/he might have some light-weight grain from the areas that ripened first due to lack of water.
But it surely did make a picture that I liked with all its variation.
And thanks for your note on it!

Indeed, Mike, there is something peaceful and soothing about such fields.
Glad it was good for you.

Maybe you should do just that, Jer.
I certainly spent some time relaxing there!
Also spent some time getting all excited about the image-making, but I sure enjoyed the gentleness of the place--except for the intense wind that day!

What you describe is so typical of the wheat country. Beautiful in its own way!
My background in Oregon was somewhere between this scene and the one you describe.
This little pocket of a wheat field was a special sort of discovery.
This area, due to its seclusion, grows a lot of specialty "organic" products from small fields like this one.
Appreciate your note regarding your own experiences.
