Summer time

You know what that means? Fresh cut hay and the promise of blackberries.

And this last one is a little deceptive. Although taken just last weekend, it looks a lot like it could have been taken in the fall.

Thanks for looking. Comments, critiques and all that good stuff are always welcome!

I like these, fall and hay do look like they could have been taken last year.
Question, what is the redish brown in fall, I know it is some sort of plant, but really have no clue what it is. (And you say you aint no good at this guessing game -- HA! )

Nice shots. I like the texture of the first and last ones. Blackberries had lots of great detail. :o)

I have no idea Mr. Q. It rained the day after they cut the hay otherwise it would have been bailed already and typically because of the fast bailing I normally don't get a chance to go out there after it's been cut, so this is the first time I've ever really seen it (to my recollection). I didn't see much of it as I walked around the field with Chester that day, but that one bit of it caught my eye.
(and it was just a few lucky guesses ;-)

I love the first one and the last one. Great texture. The reddish colored weed looks like what is referred to around here as "pig weed". The blackberry shot is lacking something for me.

I know penny. It was me too, but it was the best out of 10 (which most had camera shake because of I don't really know why). I liked it, but I didn't. You know? It's also in the worst spot ever. It only gets morning light and in the evenings (when I have time to shoot) it's heavily shaded. Oh well, I still have time to catch it before it's a berry.

Blackberries for me. It may be lacking something for you, but I like the focus and contrast with the dark background. Would like to see it a little less centered, but thats just me. The water spray was a nice touch. Working around bad lighting can be a real challenge.

Ah, would that the wheat shot were mine. I have been trying to get one, but not successful yet! Yours is perfect. I agree with Carol on the crop for the blackberries--I think that is all that it needs to make it work for me.
