The drive from Bennington to Brattleboro along Vermont Route 9 is one of the prettiest I've ever taken. This wet meadow is the highlight. It and a nearby bog have given me eight lifer butterflies in the past three years.
Ken & I witnessed a great phenomena on our way home! The little patch of mown ground looked like leftover cotton, or maybe trash, maybe white pelican feathers? I got out to take a closer look and discovered it was a rare form of frost! Frost feathers, or frost flowers- something we have NEVER seen before, and apparently requiring JUST the right conditions! It was like cotton candy/candy floss, scattered along the side of the road!

Boston, Massachusetts: Beautiful time of year in the Public Garden with colors galore!
Try it large with a black background. It gives you a better view of the background.
Some low sunlight created very dramatic backlighting but if I remember it was very difficult to get the right angle without masses of lens flare.
There will be sheep in this field this year so I wont be able to try again.

A Marsh Hawk (Northern Harrier) glides across a field. This particular posture in flight is rare for this raptor: flat as saucer, slicing through the air effortlessly.

Amanda and I were driving on Nashville Highway between Cookeville and Gainesboro when we came across this field.
Coming around a gentle corner, the brilliant yellow of the field caused both of us to slowly and unconciously exclaim, "Wooow..."
We turned the car around and found a convenient place to park near the field.
I shot dozens of frames because the fast moving clouds meant the light patterns on the field changed rapidly from moment to moment. This was my favorite of the bunch.
A circular polarizer was used.
it was such a misty day yesterday, giving great atmosphere i think to these latest shots. Everywhere was still and silent apart from the drone of the farmer's tractor in the fields.
These are fields of sunflowers in the Sacramento area in Northern California. They are at full bloom. Unfortunately, we are having a few wild fire in the area, so the sky is filled with smoke.

The Noordoostpolder (province Flevoland) has the most tulips of the whole Netherlands.
Every year in April/May thousands of people come to see the tulip fields of the Noordoostpolder. The tulip bulbs that were planted a few months ago, have now transformed acres of land into a colorful spectacle.
The Tulip Festival offers a special route which takes you along the most beautiful and panoramic tulip fields in this polder. You can choose between hiking, biking, horse carriage rides and covered wagon tours.

Tulpenfestival in de Noordoostpolder
Van 12 april t/m 4 mei staat de Noordoostpolder weer in het teken van het Tulpenfestival. De tulpenroute in de Noordoostpolder is de langste aaneengesloten route van Nederland. Het grootste deel van de in Nederland geteelde bloembollen worden hier gekweekt. Naast de wandel-, fiets- en autoroutes langs de tulpenvelden zijn er vele activiteiten en bedrijven te bezoeken.
Er zijn vroege en late tulpensoorten en daardoor zijn er vanaf nu (tot zeker eind april) langs de route steeds velden in bloei.
Tijdens het Tulpenfestival zijn er speciale fietsroutes, wandeltochten en koetsentochten langs de bollenvelden uitgezet. De route komt ook langs de Tulpen Showtuin en het tulpeninformatiecentrum.
On our way to Elizabethtown the other day, we came across these fields of poppies..they were so pretty..have a wonderful weekend..

Thanks for taking this to Explore :)
Had a night with wedding customers. Who asked how do you process a photo so I did a quick edit of this sunset from tonight. Same field I did on Tuesday but a better sky. Sorry for no time to spend on flickr! Wedding guests loving there pics!
Again taken in Seaton Carew. Huge industrial plant in the middle of a wild life sanctury. The smoke looked dramatic and was offset by the wild grass in the foreground.
This is the White field Nature reserve in the Brue Valley. It is a traditional hay meadow with a wonderful view of Glastonbury Tor It was bought by the ecologist Patrick Whitefield where he lived in a tipi for 25 years before transferring it to the Somerset Wildlife Trust.
Patrick Whitefield who died in February ( he changed his surname to the field) was a leading advocate of permaculture, he passionately believed in Nature as teacher. During his lifetime he wrote several books including the " Earth Care Manual: A Permaculture handbook for Britain.". and "Understanding the Ecology of Landscapes ",
. He was also a founding member of the Ecology Party which later became the Green Party I am sure he would be delighted that in the recent election Glastonbury voted in 7 Green Councillors and is for the first time a Green Town council.
This meadow is overflowing with golden flowers with a rich green tapestry of flowers to come, what a beautiful legacy to leave behind. He was indeed a man of innovation and vision, an inspiration to believe in your dreams for they might just contain a field of gold.
P>S I had to upload a smaller image as Flickr had a problem with uploading larger files.
