Summer in the Belgian Countryside

A few days ago, my boyfriend and me took advantage of a last day of beautiful weather and grabbed our bikes again to explore the prettier bits of our town. My legs are still itchy because of my frolicking in the rye, but it was a beautiful day and a great bike ride. Ride along with me!


I love rye fields.

They stimulate our senses. The sound of the wind whistling through the rye plays in our ears, the golden flicker of its sea-like waves glistens in our eyes, our fingers glide through the prickly strands bustling with bug life and our nose catches that ripe scent of summer. 

I love rye fields.


When I was just a little girl me and my siblings would always search the thorny bushes for blackberries. This was way back when blackberries were still fruit rather than big cellphones with extra gadgets.


I wish I could still go play hide and seek in the cornfields, but I'm all grown up now. The leaves just get in my face.

dress: New Look
sunglasses: H&M
ring: Alex Monroe
sandals: Sac d'Anvers

Poppies are my favorite flowers.


PS: This afternoon, my boyfriend leaned over, kissed me, looked me in the eye and told me I am the one. Life can be better than the movies sometimes.

    Mmmmm blackberries.

    These photos are amazing. Probably my favorite post of yours! Can't ask for a more picturesque setting than a rye field. Also, this makes me want to visit Belgium like whoa.

    Oh, this is so wonderful. You look so free and lovely here. And I agree...movies can be so over-the-top, and they blind us from the beauty of real life. :)

    Such a gorgeous dress and beautiful landscape :)

    I never played in the crops but I have fond memories lending a hand bringing in the hay at the end of the summer and collecting berries in the woods :) Those were hot summers.. I miss the smell of hot tarmac of all things. :D
