Liquid Gold

Would you look at this beautiful field of sunshine...it takes my breath away...it's like looking at liquid gold...except that the flowers are solid...but you get my point.
Or maybe it's like looking at a yellow highlighter that exploded in the heat!
Beautiful, blinding brightness!
This is what we see everyday as we drive into town and I just had to stop the car and get a few shots.













When I got out and walked over to the glorious, glowing, globes of gleaming, golden, gallons of goodness, I could think of only one word...gosh that's gorgeous!


Well, ok, that's three words. But don't mind me, I'm just gushing and going overboard with the g's!


But gee, how great!

And the next thing was...I listened, and now I have an announcement:

THE FIELDS ARE A-L-I-V-E

WITH THE SOUNDS OF BUZZZZZZZZING (name that movie...with slightly altered words...and I'll give you a brownie point!)

You could hear an amazing buzz...a whir and thrum of, oh, so many, BUGS! (how many bees can you see in the picture?)

There was the click of a grasshopper, (or several thousand!) and the whine of a fly (must have been at least a million!) and the zing of several billion other thing-a-ma-jings all winging themselves around this field.

I'm not much for bugs, but this...was beyond being "bugged out" about...I almost cried with the beauty of this golden bug heaven.

Picture yourself standing here...chest deep in gold flowers, and get ready for another most delightful moment...

If you sniff deeply now...really, really deeply...

I mean, draw all of your air in through your nostrils and lift your nose high as you search for it....

search for it....

here it comes...the smell of this golden bug heaven is extraordinary.

I'm lost for words to describe it.

Beautiful, delicate, warmly floral, with a slightly citrus undertone, only available in Nature!

Wonder if we could bottle that scent...liquid gold from bug heaven...make a million all right!

Can you find the 'lil sweet ol' butterfly in this picture?

Give you a hint - she's white.

She's busy over there kissing all the dainty flower heads...just a mid-afternoon delight (hey, name that song from the '80's and I'll give you brownie cakes this time! Not just points, calories are good for us!)

Ok - got back in the car to go home - but can't resist one last shot...

WHOOPS! EYES ON THE ROAD NOW, CAMERA DOWN NOW...- DANG IT!
