52 Weeks Color

52 week badge

Our assignment this week is to focus on color and how it affects our mood, feelings and perception of our surroundings. 

It seems Spring has finally arrived here after some sleet and cold temps earlier this week.  Across the road from our house is a field which the farmer planted with winter wheat.  Just seeing that sea of green makes me smile.  Our computer room faces the front of the house and I can see the tender shoots of green.  At the end of June the wheat will be golden and swaying in the warm breeze.  What a lovely sight to see. So as you might have guessed, the color I chose is green!

Rows of wheat

The tillering stage where 'leaves' are added and lengthen over time.

A sea of green!

There are 11 stages of growth from the first tender shoot to the ripened stage.
Sometimes, if I'm lucky, the farmer misses some of the wheat along the edge of the field at harvest time, and I will gather it for myself.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please check out Sally's blog to see more color!!!
