Field of Daisies ~ Swan Valley

How beautiful 10 for you

I was totally blown away when I saw this field of daisies. I begged Mag to stop and jumped out of the car. I just couldn't believe that this field was natural. Sometimes I think we lose sight of the beauty that surrounds us till someone points it out.

I would have too. Or jumped out the car window. LOL

I was ready to do that if Mag didn't stop!

My goodness those are great shots.

Thanks Gessy. As you can see, I was beside myself with wonder.

What a lovely sight! Love the picture of you smiling!

I probably was smiling at Magi....at times I think he thinks I'm quite insane. Fields such as this he has grown up with and as a result, take them for granted. I, on the other hand, just wanted to run and play in this field of gold.

Just lovely. I love all the color this time of the year and your pictures capture that brilliantly.

Thank you Sandre for stopping by.

Very beautiful area, lovely pictures!!!!!

Glad you enjoyed them, Loretta.

These fields remind me of the lyrics from "When the Red, Red Robin...":

What if I've been blue,
still I'm walking through
fields of flowers...

Good shots!

Thanks Roy....never heard those lyrics before...isn't that strange.

you guys are so spring
and we're so fall
together we're having a worldwide ball
Featured in Celebration of Collaboration and Inspiration! Surprise!

Spring has indeed sprung in West Oz, Jan ... and thank you very much.

It is definitely Springtime in Oz. Yesterday we went bushwalking again up at Kalamunda and then went to the Rose Garden Shoppe up in the hills where we went several weeks ago...what a change....violets, irises, foxgloves and everything else that grows back home during our spring/summer. So strange to see in October!

So beautiful, each and every one. I can't imagine seeing so many at one time. We love daisies. You've had quite a holiday, and we've all benefited. Next time maybe a 6 month soujourn is in order.

There were so many that you could even smell their scent in the car, Lynn.

One feels so giddy at the sight, you just feel like getting down and rolling in them.

wow, everyone would love Australia...so much beautiful, unspoiled country. the US has become too crowded.


Featured in the Triple Name Club.

Here we have heaps and heaps of room, Kathryn - only some two million people in the whole of Western Australia.

As I said before...this is a BIG country....with just so FEW people. Today we were at the beach and shared it with just a few surfers. I think Mag is going to be shocked when he goes to Cape Cod National Seashore and sees how many people share a beach.

Oooo... great photos!

I love the shot of you on your belly, taking pictures of the daisies!

Thank you, Duckie ... that photo turned out rather well.

Are you back from Cancun, Duckie?

Yes, I am back home. Ten days went so fast! I was flat out exhausted when we got home and have spent today doing a stack of laundry and some ironing of the summer clothes we wore while on vacation. Now I can finally put all the summer clothes away. Time to get the warmer clothes out!

I think when I get home on Thursday, I'm going to crash for a few days before even thinking about putting away summer clothes. Heard it snowed in Boston last Sunday. Guess I need to get out my winter clothes. Sigh.

From fields of daisies to fields of snow... it's going to be a tremendous change for you, Bob.

For me, my homecoming was a glorious pallette of Fall colors. I was positively drunk on the golds and reds of the leaves on my way home from the airport! My whole town is ablaze... and my backyard... wow! I hope the snow keeps away for a while and lets me enjoy Fall a bit longer.

Daisies, daisies everywhere. There can never be enough of a good thing if its flowers!

Spot on, Linda.

You reminded me of the Music
that played at my brother's funeral
chosen by his widowed bride
Fields of Gold at his memorial

You'll 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 the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I 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 the fields of gold
We'll walk in the 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 remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
Lyrics by Sting

Allen, I have Eva Cassidy's CD, Songbird, which has the track, Fields of Gold on it - a beautiful and haunting song, sung by one who since passed away ... far too soon.

I've never heard this song before....I'm so glad Mag had the CD.

I love Eva Cassidy's version too. My friend and I might sing the song at tonight's piano salon.

I wish I was there to hear you, Jan.

What a day that was, Bob.

Quite a day, Mag, quite a day! (:

This looks quite relaxing.

It was, Bill.

Can you just imagine the feeling of laying down in a field of daisies, William?

Wondrous! But one of the visions in my memory from when I was a child was lying on my back among fields of white daisies with yellow centers in Connecticut. A breeze wafted them two and fro above my eye level near the ground. I visualize it when I need to find peace. Here and there among the daisies would be a few black-eyed susans and a pink flower like a small orchid or non-vining honeysuckle whose name I can't quite remember.

Ruth, that is a most effective way of achieving peace.

Ruth...it's amazing...that's how I felt as I laid in the field. There was a slight breeze and the daisies were dancing in their yellow frocks.

I've never seen so many daisies at once before. Simply lovely.

I couldn't believe my eyes...the field of daisies just went on and on....I literally felt the need to just lay down in them.

Was there time to make a daisy chain.
Looks fabulous.

I wish I had thought of making a daisy chain, Bernadette.

beautiful

I had to smile at your smile :) You look so happy among those daisies. Can't say that I blame you either.

It was just such a wonderful feeling, Renda, to find myself in a field of daisies!

Yellow daisies like a field of dreams. You looked very happy there, Bob.

I was extremely happy...not often do you find yourself surrounded by such beauty.

What a beautiful area! Hope none of the snakes from the beach were hiding in the flowers.

No snakes, Wilma.
