Wheat fields are beautiful, especially when the wind in blowing. I never fully appreciated the lines in America The Beautiful until I saw a seemingly never-ending field of wheat in Kansas.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

Wheat is also very pretty when it is still green. I'll put one of those on my profile as soon as I have time to find it.

Thank you for your kind words!

I will look forward to that pic. Yes, it looks best in the wind.

My wife was born and raised in Kansas, so she appreciates wheat fields, but I am a mountain, tall trees and saltwater kinda guy, so it’s a mystery as to why I like the stuff so much..... I think it’s because it’s “country”.

While on vacation this year, we had hoped to pass by a wheat field, but because of Obama’s economy and the market, we changed our plans at the last minute, so it just wasn’t meant to be. I wanted to see if the farmer might let us pick some (buy or give) to use for decorative items in our Airstream trailer.

I am a 50’s and earlier memorabilia kind of guy, but I thought a few wheat items would go well with what I have, as well as with the style of the Airstream.

Perhaps next year.....
