Hay, bale & stubble

An early foggy morning and the swans are arriving to graze in the corn stubble. They will remain here all day unless the weather becomes to uncomfortable and then they will move to another field.

I did this one in Mono and from a different perspective which I think makes it a bit more atmospheric.
The title comes from a Garth Brooks song of the same name that he actually wrote in Dublin one night during a thunderstorm. He was staying in the Shelbourne hotel between concerts. A superb talent!
" The thunder rolls,
and the lightening strikes
Another love grows cold,
on a sleepless night,
As the storm blows on,
out of control,
Deep in her heart,
the thunder rolls,
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls "
[ Garth Brooks ]
Please have a listen to it. Its amazing!!!

One of the most difficult birds I have ever photographed.
There were hundreds of these in the long grass, at last the odds were stacked in my favour. Normally they just vanish into the grass and you never see them again.
A finger stroke slowly over day long stubbles. Their eyes met and she felt in her heart, the song she knew he loved, so very much.
With a low voice she hummed the tune, then sang it with a soft whisper;
'Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces-
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun....'

Last Sunday we heard the snow geese were flocking up over by Vancouver Lake. So we took a little drive across the Columbia River and after a little bit of searching were not disappointed.

Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
(County Down, Northern Ireland)

The giant saguaro cactus of the American Southwest is a wondrous thing - standing up to 70' tall in the scorching sun, arms reaching this way and that, perched upon that impossible trunk... Why doesn't it fall? Does it stay standing just to see another one of those poetic Arizona sunsets?
Happy shooting!
I found it on top of my green wheelie-bin. Took as few shots and it flew away.
The white patches are not its eyes. Its eyes are below the patches and are black.

I saw this stubble field the other day near West Meon and managed to track down the lone tree for some closeups after following the field boundaries on the road.
My apologies for being a bit slack on my commenting in the last few days but we have been doing some serious walking on the N Devon coast. I hope to catchup in the next day or so.

A small group of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) kick up a cloud of dust when coming in for a landing in the corn stubble
In late May one year while travelling through southwestern Saskatchewan we noticed a female Pronghorn Antelope (Antilocapra americana) standing in a stubble field. Beside her on very wobbly legs was a young calf. When I got out of the vehicle to set up my tripod to stabilize my telephoto lens, she slowly walked away with the young calf beside her. She continually looked back to where she had been standing when I noticed a second calf lying on the ground. I zoomed in with my telephoto and got this image of the calf lying completely still and unmoving. After taking several images we drove away and then watched as the female returned to the calf on the ground. Knowing that the family was safe, we departed the area. It is likely that the young claves had just been born and were gaining energy to begin their new life on the prairie landscape near Leader, Saskatchewan, Canada.
It was truly a wondrous sight to behold.

Meadow / American Pipits nest in tundra in the far North, including grassy meadows and dwarf shrub habitat. Farther south, they nest at high elevations including alpine and subalpine meadows, boulder fields, and fell fields (scree slopes above timberline. In these areas, pipits are often found near nesting Horned Larks but usually in drier areas. During spring and fall migration, pipits select the most similar open habitats, including agricultural fields (in stubble or plowed), turf farms, sports complexes with open grassy areas, beaches, mudflats, dry river or lake beds, and the shores of lakes and rivers.
……Local farmland after harvest time. Hope the week is going well! Stay cosy & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

A North American Moose (Alces alces) calf wanders along the edge of a hay meadow in the aspen parkland and prairie region of east central Alberta near Hughenden, Alberta, Canada.
The moose population has expanded outside its normal boreal forest range into the prairie region of Alberta and it is not unusual to observe several moose wandering through a stubble filed or grain crop, much to the dismay of the local farmers.

My morning journey and a pit stop at one of my favourite locations to view the viaduct over the river from the farmers field which has been freshly cut.
Canadian Goose.
Two sizes of Canadian Geese exist. A small 22 to 26 inch and a large 35-45 inch version. They have a brownish body with a black head, long blackneck and which cheeck patch. The smaller version has a shorter neck and lacks the cheeck patch.
They inhabit lakes, bays, rivers and marshes. They often feed in open grasslands and stubble fields.
They range from Alaska each to Baffin Island and south to California, Illinoise and Massachusetts. They winter south to northern Mexico and the Gulf Coast. Widespread as a semi-domesticated bird in city parks and on reservoirs.
Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
The Corn Bunting is often seen perched prominently on a hedge, post or wire, singing its jangling song. In the summer corn buntings prefer open farmland and in winter they may be found in stubbles, root crops, weedy fields and cattle yards.
In the winter, it can be seen in mixed flocks of buntings, finches and sparrows to feed on seeds on farmland.
Sadly this species has suffered quite a decline in central and northern European parts in the last 40 years.
