fields of gold, fields of green

This ocean of wheat surrounds a little vineyard island on the outskirts of Amboise.

les champs de blé - fields of wheat

Sunday was another nice day for cycling and I went out for a short ride nearby Amboise where I found these wheat fields just coming into maturity.  The light winds, blue skies and photo-perfect clouds made for a memorable tour.

As usual, I recommend looking at this in full screen mode after clicking the image in order to see the wheat up close.
