8. Fields of Gold



We all probably know that song "Fields of Gold" by Sting. But have you ever actually seen one? It is one of my favorite sights in the summer. I always feel lucky when I happen to drive by a wheat field right at that pivotal moment just before the sky explodes into pinks and blues and purples and oranges. That moment when the sun is burning at its very brightest - almost as if it's fighting the earth to let it stick around longer. As if it's trying to prove that it can light up the world for longer than 15 hours. Then, with a final burst of gold, it gives in and disappears below the horizon, allowing the pinks and blues and purples to take over for the night.

Today's sunny thing?
Fields of Gold
