Someday maybe a color version? Looks good in your avatar.

Perhaps next summer when the wheat grows again. That photo has such a low resolution (cheap digi-cam) that I'm ashamed to post the color version in a larger-than-50-by-50 format. Thanks for the compliment.

Beautiful and infinte. Sometimes the wheatfield fades from gold to tan and the sky from azure to grey. I think it's called a season of cold that is destined to warm.

Let's hope so, anyway.

No need to hope -- I know it's so.

That's so thoughtful. I love what you wrote about.... it's so true, what we dream about having. But still, we need to keep dreaming and moving along, maybe not moving away, but along.

Beautiful! I love the black and white, the cropping, the lines of the wheat, the clouds and the girl off center. Makes for a very pleasing compostion! It has great depth and emotion to it.

What a beautiful shot, Maurita... Is that Elizabeth? I love how the girl is placed to one side of the shot.. I also love the expanse of wheat stuff

Great work

I should have written this in the description, but instead I'll do it here. While I was looking at this photo I realized something about dreams (thus the title). When I was a little girl living in the city, all I could think about was living on a farm and having horses, dogs, cats, and birds...and breathing the country air and living the country life. Now I'm living the dream, and what has happened? I dream of something else, seeing my life NOT from that little girl's perspective but from one that thinks the grass is greener elsewhere.

Human nature? Probably. Something to think about....

Yes........I have been doing just that for so many years......I need 3 lifetimes to do it all......and maybe just maybe I will find what I am looking for.

Winter is coming and the grass is dying here.............it looks greener in Greece......hmmmmmmmmm

Maurita In reply to kaiack [2004-10-15 19:59:35 +0000 UTC]

Well, then....it ought to be pretty easy to pull up your roots and head to Greece!

China sounds cool too. Do they have good grass there?

It's me two years ago, so yeah....it's me but not. lol My hair is shorter and I think I'm skinnier now.

I ran across a bunch of old photos from my Polaroid digital on floppy, and this was among them. I had completely forgotten about it. Seeing it again brought back feelings of serenity, and I guess that's why I posted it....for future gloomy days.
