“But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun
came to shine on my life.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“The wheat field has …poetry; it is like a memory of something one has once seen.
We can only make our pictures speak.”
Vincent Van Gogh
“We can grow good wheat and make good bread
only if we understand that we do not live by bread alone.”
Wendell Berry
“We will forget the sun
in his jealous sky
as we lie in the fields of gold”
Sting
“He that will have a cake out of the wheat
must tarry the grinding.”
William Shakespeare
This weekend has I been visiting friends living on the beautiful Österlen. Österlen is Skånes (my county) own piece of paradise. It is only to lose yourself in the romantic views over rolling fields, drop by a quaint farm shop to pick up fresh food.
When we were visiting an art exhibition and this field of wheat was just across the road and I got lost in it. It was like walking in a field of gold. What can be more dreamy than that ?????!!!.
For me is there not many pieces of music that is more dreamy than, “Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068G String” by by Johann Sebastian Bach. The original piece is part of Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068, written for his patron Prince Leopold sometime between the years 1717 and 1723.
The title comes from violinist August Wilhelmj’s late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major, Wilhelmj was able to play the piece on only one string of his violin, the G string.
Love that last image of the dreamy gold cornfield! Vivi!
Thank you so much, Sue …. it was a magical sunny day and that helped a lot.
Oooops, wheat!
You’re forgiven. *smile
😊😊
So very dreamy…. how are you feeling, Viveka?
Thank you so much, Loisa!!! And thanks for your concern … do a lot better, nearly finished with the antibiotic now. Had a great weekend with my friends and that is one of the best medicines. *smile
Happy to hear, Viveka.
Yes … life is a lot more pleasant without pain. Thanks for your concern. Means a lot to me.

Amy, yes … I feel a lot better, a weekend with great friends makes a big difference. *smile
Wonderful! Take easy 🙂
Lovely to hear you are better, dear Viveka! And – I understand you how got lost in that dreamy field! Soft, sunny and golden images – we do have fantastic weather this summer. And thank you for the dreamy music as well – wonderful. Take care, see you soon.
Yes, I had a fantastic couple of days in Simrishamn. The weather was fantastic … and all the field with it’s golden crop, breathtaking. Our summer is perfect so far … not too hot, but it starts on Tuesday – so be prepared on a hot day together.
Thanks for the lovely comment. See you …
See you then…:-D
Yes, see you in the morning glory. *smile
The photos are GREAT, but it’s the quotes — you always find the BEST quotes. And I love “Fields of Gold.” Thank you for sharing.
And you are the BEST to give compliments. Thank you so much. Yes, where we went were we surrounded with those golden fields. Stunningly beautiful .. and the weather was so wonderful, golden sunshine on the golden wheat fields. A privilege to be able to share.

You really did find the perfect quotes to go with your dreamy photos Viveka. Agree a day with good friends is definitely as good as any medicine!! And, one string?!?!? Amazing!
Tina, thank you so much … I got lost in all the beautiful golden fields that surrounded us. I’m so passionate about quotes as you are … and you are fantastic on finding suitable ones too. Thank you so much for your sweet comment.
Marvellous wheat studies – and I speak as one who lives beside a wheat field. You captured its magic.
Tish, a hearty thank you … and lucky you that have views like. *smile
Wow, I’ve never seen wheat, let alone taking close-up photos. Just that we don’t live by the fields, and didn’t stop by any fields. Thank you for sharing the images and the quotes.
Glad to hear you’re feeling better with antibiotics. Take care, Viveka.
Miriam, my county is a farmer county … the open landscape all around me. I haven’t really paid the wheat any attention before, this year the fields look more golden than ever before. Normally is the rapeseed fields that steel the show.
My pleasure!!!! Thank you so much for your kind thoughts for my health.
Heavenly post, Viveka, and heavenly music, too. 🙂 🙂
Thank you so much, Patti!
We all need a place to dream, Vivi. I like your wheat field 🙂 🙂
Thank you so much … Girlfriend. Normally I would have chosen the ocean … but that wheat field was very dreamy.
Superb photos. Great quotes.
John, A heart thank you.
