Hay there @meesterboom i see we both like puns
Lol, yes it certainly looks that way!
Hi @bleujay
Thank you for posting
Likes your photos "hay bales"
In Norway we call "hay bales" for tractor eggs
The warm weather and drought here in Norway means that the farmers do not get enough hay for the winter.
And that they all must think about slaughtering parts of their livestock.
we have to return to 1904 to be able to mix such drought and heat.
Watercourses and streams dry in and the fish yolk dies out.
We are happy for the nice summer weather, but it is at the expense of much else here in Norway
Thank you for your kind reply @xpilar.
So sorry to hear of the drought and heat......1904....an interesting time in history.....many changes at that time.
Thank you for the term....'Tractor Eggs'......indeed....hehe...so very humourous.
Appreciate you stopping by. ^__^
Cheers!
hey, bales! ^ ^
lovely photographs mon ami
it looks very sunny out there!
I love hay bales that every time we go to Kleve I only keep looking at the windows to find a field full of them! ^ ^
and when it's windy enough, and they're freshly cut
the smell of the breeze is so damn delicious to the nose :)
you know what I mean right? ^ ^
have fun mon ami
I want to climb and try to roll one down the hill!
Hiya mon ami.......
So happy to hear you enjoyed the post......a favourite here as well. Yes....I do know what you mean. ^__^
The entire process from start to finish goes so fast....it seems no sooner did you relish its beauty....it was gone.
Let's do climb the hills and then roll one.
Lovely to hear from you.
Thank you for stopping by.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
A bientot! xox
Nice looking bales and countryside... a great principle too! Thanks for sharing both!
Thank you @brian.rrr for your kind words.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the post.
Wishing you and your family a lovely week end....kind greetings to your wife and hugs to the little ones. ^__^
Cheers!
Amen to that. Not many good things come with maturity.
So now I know, at least I'm getting concentrated. :D
Thank you for stopping by @koskl.
Lovely to 'see' you.
hehe.....it is so true. I enjoyed thinking on this principle with the hay bales in mind. Such a different product than just grass in the field......and vauable as well. ^__^
Wishing you all the best.
Cheers!
I must say I missed you principles of life. It is very nice to have you back. Concentration is something we are lack of in childhood, I remember how difficult it was to make my son concentrated on reading books, drawing or playing . It is indeed comes with the time so my advice to be patient especially with children.
I love haystacks on field, that always look so cosy and tidy. I can imagine how the farmers are happy to have done their job on field. Luckily nowadays we have machinery that makes everything easier.
Wish you a nice weekend and Cheers :)
Hiya @stef1.
Thank you for your kind words.....it is always encouraging to hear when there is an appreciation of the principles....as you can surmise.....I could not live without them. ^__^
Yes...there is something so beautiful about the process from beginning to end....something so tidy as you say....something so worthy of praise.
Appreciate your kind wishes and here's wishing you the same....a lovely week end.
Cheers!
Beautiful photography as always bleujay. Maturity is a learned behavior and can be a good defense mechanism at times. It definitely generates a sense concentration. Glad to see the post! Best wishes! PS Seeing a bunch of these, not sure if it's a problem on my end (
)
Greetings @hansenatortravel.
Thank you for your kind compliment.
So true......learning to behave responsibly....'disciplining yourself so others do not have to'...is how the famous Coach Wooden put it. ^__^
Now I think a visit to the eye doctor is in order....hehe
I have not yet seen any such markings.
Thank you for stopping by.
Wishing you and yours all the best.
Cheers!
Yeah. It must be a problem on my end. That is weird. I still see them all through the end of your post. Maybe it's the type of image. Self actualization helps with discipline, or is a result of. Anyways, hope the eye doctor went well. See you again soon!
hehe, I see them too
Glad it's not just me. Haha
I have done a small test
When I use Google Chrome, I see them.
In microsoft edge, they are not visible.
So there is something about the browsers
I tried it. Works well. Haha. Going to stick with Chrome though. It must be for a certain spacing command.
Nice post. I've missed your posts. I hope everything is okay!
Thank you for stopping by @nat-expressions.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the post.
Yes.....thank you for inquiring.....everything is going well. Life has intruded in a good way...so I am a bit scarce at the moment......hopefully before too long......things will settle down. ^__^
All the best.
Cheers!
Good to hear!
Love the bale photos, such nice views of the countryside. I can imagine the smells of cut hay, I love that smell. My uncle was a farmer years back. Also...for some reason, as I stare at each photo, I SWEAR they start to move down the hill at a slow roll. Maybe it's your photo perspective, maybe it's because they're round, or maybe our hot weather here is causing creative brainspace, but whatever the reason, I'm quite sure they're on the move.
Thank you for your witty humourous kind complimentary reply @ddschteinn.
I am sure as well that these bales are on the move. ^__^
Yes......this is one of the fine moments of Summer.
All the best to you.
Cheers!
Beautiful photos of this time of year - we have the same hay bales here in France and I always enjoy seeing them in the fields.
Thank you for your kind complimentary comment @kathleenscarboro.
Appreciate hearing you have them in France as well. ^__^
It is one of those sights of summer that brings such pleasure indeed.
All the best to you.
Cheers.

Greetings @bigram13.
Just a bit busy....yes...have managed to slip a couple of posts in through bentleycapital in the last month and that was it. Isn't that right, life comes calling and we must heed the call.....all good here. ^__^
There was a lull so I did what any good Steemian would do.....post of course....hehe.
No worries......thank you for stopping by....it is appreciated.
Wishing you and yours all the best.
Cheers!
So nice to see you posting again! I can almost smell the grass and hay from your photos. So beautiful!
Thank you @schmidthappens for your kind words.
That is what one would wish happens....that the work communicates and brings pleasure to the eye.
Life has intruded....in a good way.....will continue to post when time allows....sometimes I manage to slip in something through bentleycapital.
All the best to you.

It looks so beautiful those fields, the bales look like well placed ornaments. To brighten the sight, blessed nature.
Thank you for your kind compliment @teresah.
The concentration comes with maturity.
Words so simple and so true, over the years you learn and you acquire the ability to concentrate and set priorities of life.
So very true.

The photographs are excellent... Great results of so much effort and dedication.

Oh, there are so many tales about bales that I have. It was one of the best parts of my summer when my kids were summering in the countryside. So concise. I love the neat little lines that come with the job.

I did not know I could find such beauty in a single publication. Without a doubt, you are one of the best. Please, do not stop doing it.
I'm @ritaasabati, maybe I should not do this, but could you go through my profile and support my publication? Several are related to photography, I just captured a rainy afternoon and I called it: MYLIFE: Rain is a blessing. They are not as good photographs as yours, but I can improve. I will thank you very much. I hope to have your help.
Idyllic Life @bleujay
It brings memories from each ones childhood ... who has lived at least for a while in the country-side
Hopefully we'll still have this harvesting ritual at least on this form as it is presented in your photos
Thanks for sharing

Recently I have been harassed by downvote bots and I don’t know why they are downvoting me. Do you know how I can fix it.
Yours truly, Tornadoman
Greetings @tornadoman.
If you have time.....send notes to any witnessses you have voted for.....detailing the downvote actions.
It would be interesting to discover the motive and the intent as well as the origination. Here's hoping it will be short lived.
Still waiting to hear from the couple of witnesses I sent a note to through Steem.chat.
Did hear from @themarkymark......saying they are trolls who flag people using other ppl's names.
Cheers.
Hey bleujay no more downvotes but I’m getting more upvotes now and I was using a app called trader trainer to learn about stocks and I started with 25k yesterday and now I’m at 1 million dollars.
Remove the photograph please......see the above request in the post.
