The buttercups have been blooming,
turning the fields to gold.
These beautiful scenes remind me of a favorite song......
'You remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold.
As we walk in fields of gold.
I've never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
we'll walk in fields of gold.
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
we'll walk in fields of gold.
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold.
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold.'
i hope you'll link this to good fences tomorrow! some beautiful rural scenes!
ReplyDeleteOh- The words and pictures are beautiful! Just absolutely gorgeous. We don't have any buttercups here yet. We have such a late spring. Did you always hold buttercups up to yoru girlfriends at school when you were little to see if they liked butter? I know we did.
ReplyDeleteI will say that you take some of the most gorgeous pictures and your setting is just breath-taking! xo Diana
Oh this post is like a big beautiful hug from nature. I love that. Hug B

ReplyDeleteYou bring back very fond childhood memories of buttercups...
For the past 31 years I have missed them! Your area looks so fertile and so lush green for perfect meadows.
Lovely post with great photos.

Wow these were just wonderful. The pretty buttercups, the gorgeous mountain, I'm guessing that's Rainier (yes?), the green fields, the sunsets, the lush countryside, it's just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThese pictures are wonderful, and seeing the mountains in the background you can tell what a beautiful place you live in. I love that first picture of the field of buttercups and the sweet cow.

ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of the song Laura Ingalls Wilder used to sing with her family:
ReplyDeleteGolden years are passing by,
Happy, happy golden years,
Passing on the wings of time,
These happy golden years.
Hold them fast as they go by,
Sweet their memories are,
Oh improve them as they fly,
These happy golden years.
Beautiful photo's and a beautiful poem Karen! Enjoy these happy golden days!!
