One from the bin again, as this image was taken on August 9th, 2015 on the peninsula North-Beveland, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

This image shows an, in my area widely spread, phenomenon: farmers here can get grant for sowing flower seeds along the borders of their fields. So, a lot of fields in Zeeland are surrounded in the summertime by flowers. In a lot of Zeeland shops one can buy for about $ 5,- an 'all you can pick' ticket, that allows the buyer to pick Zeeland field flowers all season long. The revenues, in turn, are given to the above-mentioned grant.

Because we're 'suffering' (lol) in my area with gray and rainy days now, I'm longing to see such a situation again.

Was this in the Flour or Grain Bin, SEA?
That's a great idea. Maybe we should send some of our politicians to your country for some training.
Sweet shot by the way.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

When I saw the title...I was thinking a field full of cattle etc..leaving a few decorative deposits!

A wonderful composition and those red 'poppies' really catch the eye!

What a terrific idea Mr. C. and a wonderful way to add beauty to the landscape and provide fresh flowers to all! I long to see nice weather like this once again as well - we've had bitter cold and snow this past weekend and more snow tomorrow.
