Wheat Waving in Wind

In mid-July, while making a solitary crop tour near Carman, I wanted to photograph some different individual crop plants.  It turned out to be a very windy day, so I gave up on that idea and decided to try to capture some fields of wheat being swept by the wind.  The feeling of moving wheat is hard to photograph but I did make some images with which I was fairly happy.  Here are a couple of them:



Of course, this wheat has now ripened and been harvested.  It will now be sitting in a farmer's bin, waiting to be sold when the price is right.  Someday, it may become a loaf of bread.  Maybe, slices of toast, waiting to be buttered and spread with your favorite jam for your breakfast.
