The last couple of months have seen the wheat growing at a tremendous rate. From late April to early June the growing crop has shot up from a few inches to a couple of feet. The stalks are standing tall and the ears of wheat are developing well. The standing crop looks especially attractive when the sun shines through the leaves, and the wind sends waves across the field.
An interesting set of pictures of a subject most of us just drive by on our way to somewhere else. Thanks for sharing!

The ordinary and everyday things are usually unexpectedly interesting when examined closely. Who knew that green wheat seeds wore striped coats?

I love it too, Philip. I have tried to video the phenomenon but the wind blowing over the camera microphone tends to spoil the movie, unless the birds are singing loud enough to mask the unwanted noise.

Thank you, Jo. It is very soothing to watch the crop swaying in the wind and creating the equivalent of the ripples on water.
