One of my favourite memories from this summer will be the afternoon we spontaneously decided to drive around the lanes taking pictures of the beautiful ripening fields. It was a curious mix of sunshine and cloud but the heat and the hot breeze gave the hour a glorious feel of 'hot summer day' which lingers in the mind for quite some time.
Sometimes we parked and others I just snapped through the car window. I can assure you I beamed the whole time!
Wheat has no ears. Below, flowers!
Barley is wispy and so rough to the touch.
Even some stray oats!

Such a memorable afternoon! Do you enjoy a spontaneous drive down the scenic route?
