Flax

Flax fields are a pretty rusty brown blanket this time of year.

I tried different compositions on this field with the wind turbines background.


I love this one where I crouched down so the flax balls popped up:



It's the only one I got like that. Wish I would have gotten more.
You can squish the dry crispy flax balls/capsules between your fingers to see the seeds inside.
The seeds taste about like what you expect a raw seed to taste like.
These seeds were brown.

Here's one showing more of the wind turbines. I think there are more out there than there used to be.


Note: Contrast and Colors were pumped up a little with blend layers in Paint Shop Pro.
