After the wheat harvest, Sherman County, SE of Moro, OR. July 2014. Access permission granted by property owner.
I took this a short distance outside of the City of Edmonton. I had to get away from the Christmas shoppers.
This is stubble from a crop of canola (rape seed).
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.
After the summer, the wheat fields are being mowed. The grain is taken by the farmer, the stems are rolled together and will be used as straw and all that is left are the stubbles.
A hard frost and good snow on the Ochil Hills, north central Scotland.
The ruined building is an old cottage of some sort, with trees now growing inside it.
I used a flash on low power to give some foreground detail, as the dynamic range was considerable at this late in the day.
As one of our most celebrated birds, in literature, poetry, art and music, the Skylark hardly needs an introduction.
The Skylark is one of 19 species that make up the UK Farmland Bird Indicator. As a group, these species are amongst our most declining birds, and Skylark numbers have fallen precipitously since the mid-1970s. However, the latest UK population trend indicates a small upturn in this species' fortunes.
The Skylark is found across Britain & Ireland and can be heard singing its song on high at any time of the year on sunny days. In the summer months, the song of the Skylark becomes a force of nature, whilst in the winter Skylarks often gather in large flocks on farmland, saltmarsh and dunes. Skylarks can lay up to four clutches a year, but this has likely been limited by agricultural intensification in recent decades, and the switch from spring to autumn crop sowing in particular. This switch may also reduce overwinter survival due to loss of winter stubbles.
Sample pictures of beardy men for a blog I have. Gay men, straight men, bushy beards, patchy stubble -- it's a facial hair-a-palooza.
Arrived at Paddys Oysters jetty on the Central Coast of NSW to unexpected fog and a mid tide which reminded me of a 2 day stubble.
Scored some sky colour plus the fog created a nice mood so all was not lost.
Thanks for visiting my photostream and for your favs and comments
FYI: soon after this shot was taken, the barn was torn down and its land returned into extra tillable field acreage. A fitting end.
I'll be away for a few days, but back soon!
Thanks to all my flickr friends for taking the time to visit, comment and fave - I appreciate it!
... and headland at Dawlish Countryside Park, Devon, England, managed for Cirl Buntings and other farmland birds (see: www.teignbridge.gov.uk/sports-and-leisure/parks-and-open-...).
I was out looking for some local POV today and saw this.Reference to the title,it just looked like the farmers had a bowling competition with the bails ( I have cropped the bottom to bring the bails in view a bit more.)
ENLARGE TO SEE IF YOU CAN SEE WHICH ONE WON
