With the long wild grasses around the field edges mown we have an extra field that we can circumnavigate with the dogs, and since it is a large field it adds a useful extra dog walking route (albeit off of the network of footpaths – but I won’t tell the farmer if you don’t…). The field has a crop of maize/sweet corn for the first time, sown when the farmer grubbed up a poorly performing cultivation of rape following a wet winter and cold spring. The wide grassy strips around the field, sandwiched between the maize and tall hedges, is like a wide corridor, with no view to left or right, apart from the sky, but a neatly framed view of the countryside in front and behind. ps - just realised Shepherdmans Wife did a similar shot earlier this month - but her sky was better!
