I spotted this lovely field of poppies and wildflowers in Chinatown the other day. Originally I think it was just an abandoned piece of waste ground, but suddenly there are poppies in abundance! I'm not a great flower photographer sadly and wish I was better at it, urban stuff is more my thing! I just managed to grab a couple of shots this morning while passing. It was very beautiful :)

A couple of miles from my village lies the reddist field I have seen. It's surprisingly difficult to capture effectively though and I preferred this telephoto shot at f2.8.
A time to remember all those who have lost their lives or friends and families in all the many wars and conflicts around the world.

It was pouring rain when took this shot. I was standing under an unbrella hoping not to get soaked but could not pass this field up. I was thinking I would see lots of fireweed but guess it dosen't bloom until July.

Until I saw this photo, it had never occurred to me that there could be such a thing as a foot-operated plow.
Despite the farmer's winning smile, I imagine this form of plowing must have been difficult and tiring.
I wonder whether this plow was used to supplement work done by oxen pulling plows, or whether it was limited to farmers who were too poor to afford an ox to plow their fields.
This photo is from an album Elstner Hilton compiled in Japan between 1914 and 1918. Elstner was my spouse's uncle.
While Uncle Elstner sometimes annotated photos that required an explanation, he never dated the pictures. So all we know is they were taken between January, 1914 and December, 1918.
The plow in this photo looks like it hasn't seen much use.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
By Lt-Col. John McCrae, Canadian Expeditionary Force, WW1.
I was introduced to the poetry of Wilfred Owen, perhaps the best known of the Great War's poets - by an English teacher who was one of those exceptional presenters of his subject who manage to - without apparent effort - immediately command the respect of even unruly classes of youngsters.
He was James McKay, of Dunfermline High School. I didn't become a convert to poetry generally, but to that of only a few writers. I regret in these latter years of my life that I haven't read more of it, but the seeds Mr McKay sowed all those decades past haven't expired just yet. It was under his guidance that I learned to love this mongrel language of ours, and to cherish its marvels and its wonderful effectiveness in the conveyance of the smallest nuance of inference.
The Fresno Grizzlies are a Minor League Baseball team of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. They are located in Fresno, California, and play their home games at Chukchansi Park which opened in 2002 and has a capacity of 12,500. They previously played at Pete Beiden Field from 1998 to 2001. The Grizzlies won the PCL championship in 2015, making it the only league title in franchise history. All games are broadcast on KYNO with Doug Greenwald handling the play-by-play.
Professional baseball first came to Fresno in 1898 when it had a team in the original California League. In the intervening years before the arrival of the Grizzlies, Fresno fielded teams in the California State League in 1910 and 1913, and in the current California League from 1941 through 1988, including the Fresno Cardinals (1941–1956), Fresno Sun Sox (1957), Fresno Giants (1958–1987), and Fresno Suns (1988).
When Major League Baseball awarded an expansion team (the Arizona Diamondbacks) to Phoenix, Arizona, that would begin playing in 1998, the Phoenix Firebirds of the Pacific Coast League (the San Francisco Giants' Triple-A affiliate) were forced to move. The Firebirds moved to Tucson, Arizona and changed their name to the Tucson Sidewinders while changing their affiliation to the Diamondbacks. That prompted the Tucson Toros to move to Fresno, giving Fresno its first PCL team since 1906. The Toros were renamed the Grizzlies and became the Giants' new Triple-A affiliate.
From 1998 through 2001 the Grizzlies played at Pete Beiden Field at California State University, Fresno, before moving to Chukchansi Park.
The team hosted such promotions as K-Fed Night and Second Chance Night in 2006; The Price Is Right Night in 2007; and Totally Rad 80s Night featuring The Karate Kid star Billy Zabka in May 2008.
Parker, the Grizzlies mascot, was named Best Mascot of 2007 by GameOps, beating out all other major and minor league mascots. The Grizzlies won the Minor League Baseball Promotion of the Year award in 2008 for their "Mascot Showdown" featuring Parker and the Phillie Phanatic. The team's opening day catcher in 2010, Buster Posey, would be the San Francisco Giants' starting catcher for the World Series six months later (the Giants' starting catcher for most of their World Championship season, Bengie Molina, would start for their opponents, the Texas Rangers), resulting in his National League Rookie of the Year award that year.
The Grizzlies gained national attention in summer 2015 for playing a game as The Fresno Tacos, which was done to celebrate the city of Fresno's annual Taco Truck Throwdown and came complete with a specially designed tacos uniform. In 2015, they won the Triple-A Baseball National Championship Game by defeating the Columbus Clippers, 7–0, in El Paso, Texas.
Following the 2017 season, Grizzlies manager Tony DeFrancesco will not return to the Houston Astros organization for the 2018 season. DeFrancesco led Fresno to a winning record in each of his three seasons at the helm, his clubs compiling a record of 234-194 (.547) from 2015-2017. The run marked the first time in franchise history (since 1998) the Grizzlies completed three consecutive winning seasons.
On January 19, 2018, Rodney Linares was named the 10th manager in Grizzlies history. The team was sold to Fresno Sports and Events, a group led by Ray and Michael Baker, part owners of the Colorado Rockies and Grand Junction Rockies, and Jim Coufos, a prior investor in the High Desert Mavericks, in a transaction that was made official on February 27, 2018.
The Astros declined to renew their player-development contract with Fresno beyond the 2018 season.
On September 18, 2018, the Fresno Grizzlies and Washington Nationals agreed to a player-development contract for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

About
From the vault.
Taken in Warwick, a long long time ago.
Well, at least one part of the image is from Warwick. The Clouds come from my 'cloud stock library' I've not tried this before, so I thought I'd give it a go, its simple really.
The trick is to use shots taken from a similar angle and shooting conditions etc.
Did you pick it?
Would you know if I didn't tell you?
Enjoy.
- Canon 400D (taken before the upgrade)
- ISO 100, f13, 1/125, 20mm.
- Sigma 10-20 lens
Processing
- Layer masking using two images.
- Blended one of my stock cloud shots with a shot of these fields.
Music
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. Recorded at the end of 1966, the song was written by John Lennon during the filming of How I Won The War and is formally credited to the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team. It is named after a Salvation Army house in Beaconsfield Road, Woolton, Liverpool where Lennon played as a child.
The Flower?
Apparently its is a weed, more info here.

Northbound Los Angeles - Seattle Z train led by a CNW unit rolls through Fields, Oregon on the Cascade line. Scanned from 35mm slide. Fields, about 60 miles east of Springfield, is one of my favorite locations on the line.
Standing on a field with no shelter on a very very windy, chilly afternoon is something that can drive your madness. However I was granted with amazing light and some scattered clouds.
