At the beginning of May, the meadows are already rich with high, luxuriant, flowering grass. The beautiful sunny days motivate the local farmers to bring out the agricultural machines. The grass is cut (mowed), then wilted for a complete drying. Then, it is grouped in swaths (as in the photo), before being formed into bales that will go to the storage sheds, waiting for the winter to feed the animals. I particularly like this atmosphere where you can see the men working the fields, where nature takes on soft and warm colours, where the air takes on the scent of freshly cut grass. The fields change colour, waiting for regrowth and certainly for a second cut.
