In the fields: "if only you could see yourself mate!" by helenhall

In the fields: "if only you could see yourself mate!"

I think I am going to call this my "in the fields" series. As a result of my early morning walk at the weekend , I realise how little I know about plant and crop types. These were on the edge of the wheat field. They look to me like heads of hair suffering from the effects of static.
This is a laugh!!!

What a great find. They are having a bad hair day.

They are such intriguing looking flowers or weeds -- and the conversational posture just pops! Well spotted!

Those are very interesting looking plants. Good job on the focus.

Love the close up and detail in this shot

What a good eye you have.. loving the light and composition.. super focal point..

Fascinating image, well seen...fav

They look like galls of some kind to me - the folks up the road at NIAB would know!

ALso - is that dew? Sooo dry here - that looks really appealing!

Well spotted and such a fantastic image! These little plants look quite interesting! Enjoyable narrative! :-)

@777margo @kwind @onewing thank you . Im glad you saw the humour.
@taffy @moonmtn @ivan thank you and yes, fascinating - I want to know what they are now but where to start looking this up?
@adayinmallacoota @jorlam I kind of wished the back plant was more focussed but was happy enough with this. thank you.
@judithg im not sure. I looked up images of galls but saw nothing like this. Too ignorant on plants to know where to start. Yes it is dew. I walked from 6 till 8 am and came home with soaking feet from walking through the grass. We haven't seen rain for a while.

@gaylewood thanks Gayle. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Love that 1 is in focus and the other isn't. Were you in the tropics, I'd say they look like Rambutan with really long 'hair'

@helenhall Helen, i think that by having only the front plant in focus helps give a real feeling of depth to the image.. we know the second plant is furthest away precisely because it is out of focus.. 😊

@jorlam thanks for coming back on this. I really lack confidence so it is so useful to have the input.

@fotoblah well I agree there is a similarity. However, whilst it feels like I am in the tropics these last few days, this was taken on UK farmland (although it is not the cultivated crop but growing on the pathway). Thanks for your helpful comment about the focus.

Ha ha ha, both your title and your description sure made me laugh! I have very poor knowledge of the names of plants and flowers as well.
