Driving back from afternoon tea along the small, winding roads of Jersey, I spotted a familiar sight in the fields, a beautiful sea of yellow which I had captured lots of pictures of back home in Ireland in May. I couldn’t believe that the rape seed fields were still in bloom in July, they had all been harvested long ago back home and I just had to go back and capture my son amongst the yellow waves once again.
Sadly the sky was gloomy, but that didn’t stop my curly haired babe having a giggle amongst the sea of yellow flowers, even if he did find it all a bit daunting at first. The fields actually gave a view down to the sea, it was a beautiful sight. I’m so glad I was able to capture more of these beautiful fields, they really are stunning in person and go on as far as the eye can see – a sea of golden flowers, the perfect photo opportunity once again.
I put the close up shots of my sun in black and white as I love how his curls look in the black and white filter, I also think the lack of colour suits his thoughtful little expressions, they’re a far contrast to giggling smiles when he was standing amongst the flowers.
You can see more pictures from when we walked in fields of gold before and the sky was a lot brighter. The grey skies and clouds didn’t dampen the vibrant beauty of the yellow loveliness for us though…
Those curls!
You seriously live in one of the most scenic places in the world. You always have these amazing photo backdrops and I am so jealous 🙂
Thank you Robin! This isn't Ireland though, this is Jersey in the Channel Islands where we holidayed for a week in July 🙂
Beautiful! These photos are amazing. You are very talented. I've never been good at photos.
Those photos are amazing! The curls, oh those curls! I have curly hair but not that curly. I love it!
