Our neighbors are haying this week. I always enjoy seeing the big bales out in the field and smelling the hay when it's freshly cut. I grew up on a farm and that smell takes me back to my childhood. Of course, I would probably not enjoy it so much if I was the one out there doing all that work!

I love the smell of fresh hay and alfalfa. I was just reading on Midlife by Farmlight's blog all that is involved in baling the hay, the square bales not the big round bales. A lotta work! Hubby did it years ago too, so he's told me some stories.
Love your photo :)
I also like the smell - takes me back to hayrides. We don't get around hay or straw much because of Bob's asthma. It's a bad deal then.
I a with you..I probably wouldn't like it if I had to do it!!!
HAY! that's a familiar sight around here, but what a great picture you took of it.
Great photo, Mari. Brings back amazing childhood memories of our ranch/farmlife in Southeastern Montana. My Dad still ranches there, and it's a thrill to get their view of daily life every now and then. Blessings-Kathy

Great photo Mari.
I love the smell of freshly mowed hay. When I was a kid, the bales were not that big. They were long and narrow. I would stack one on top of another, throw a saddle over it and play like it was my horse. What fun! Ha! Ha!
When the white wrap goes on Phil use to call those marshmellows.
I love this picture! Love seeing these in fields!
Now here is something you won't see in my neck of the woods. :)
really beautiful picture!! We love the big bales, too - for making pictures with the children!
Great compostition Mari! It reminds me of Monet's Haystacks paintings.
