Lots and lots and lots of greens




      Here's a series of photographs taken while I was walking the two terriers at the weekend. The big, bold brush strokes of green are the wheat fields, pea fields and to a lesser extent the dyke sides and water.
      The shades of green are an integral part of the ever changing colours of the seasons in the countryside, particularly where it is under intensive cultivation. For a brief period it was the yellow of oilseed rape but now it is the time of the greens through the mid and late summer.



      The fields of peas being grown for next year's seed are a different green that will soon turn white when the pea flowers bloom just as the potato fields will go pink, mauve and white as the various varieties and kinds of early, mid and late season potatoes mature.
      Then the season will change the colours again and the golden browns and oranges will arrive with the ripening wheat and pumpkins.
      All-in-all it's a little bit of gradual colour magic, the colour wheel of the seasons I suppose.
