  1. When I look at this picture I see flowers in a garden with a cracked wall behind them. There are leaves laying around the flowers as well

  2. This may sound corny or cheesy, but frankly I don't care. What comes to my mind is a boy and his dog playing in a field. The boy throwing a ball and watching as the medium size dog with long golden fur bounding throughout the field of flowers. Then the boy is just standing there watching the dog with a red cap and a striped shirt with blue-jeans, as the wind rustles the little bit of blonde hair that sticks out of the hat. Then the wind continues to just blow through the entire field moving it as one giant wave of colors.

  3. When I see the image, I think of Spring and flowers. The image gives me a longing feeling because I want Spring so bad! Thank goodness it is starting to warm up!

  4. I see a location where there is no possibility to have or see an Irrawaddy Dolphin naturally. Why someone would want to live in a place that escapes me. Other than the lack of dolphins, however, it is a very beautiful place, so I suppose that is a reason to live there.

  5. This picture depicts a peaceful field covered in pretty orange flowers. There seems to be a fence in the distance, which could suggest this is on or bordering a farm of some sort. There also appears to be mountains even farther back in the distance. I believe it is also just before a rainstorm since the sky looks darker than a normal spring/summer sky.

  6. Things that come to mind when I see this picture are a romantic date in a field. It reminds me of hunting in the fall or just going to sit and enjoy the weather. It could be described as a meadow or field of flowers, with a barbwire fence in the back. Maybe it is trespassed on quite a bit. I would think there are animals nearby.

  7. When i look at this picture i think of how pretty nature is. That it can produce such pretty flowers and the weather can be so nice. How the dreadful winter is going away and the wonderful spring/summer is coming closer and closer everyday.

  8. When I see this image I think of the Hunger Games. The worn out fence behind the meadow of flowers reminds me of the fence in the movie where Katniss leaves her district to hunt. The orange flowers remind me of the flowers that Katniss places on Rue after she is killed in the games, even though they are a different color.

  9. When I look at this picture I think of the weather in Kentucky. The flowers are starting to bloom because they think it is time for spring and in the background you can see the sky starting to crack like a really bad snow storm is coming.

  10. I feel like this is the last painting of a man who is being hunted, he doesn't want his story to be lost so he hides it in the painting.

  11. This picture reminds me of spring because the flowers are starting to bloom and it's not all gloomy looking outside. I honestly have no idea what the black lines are that run through the background are so I'm just going to consider them as a mirage.

    1. It looks like a pokemon trainers worst nightmare. Nothing but tall grass.

  12. It makes me think of people going away to war and leaving this beautiful summer field to rot away in its peaceful state! While men and women are fighting for their life and the rights of their country.

  13. When I see this image I see flowers and a garden and the sky of something like that is all cracked up and I see some rocks and I think there's a tree stump in there somewhere

  14. When I see this picture I have the image of a meadow just a peeking. Having the orange flower looking like they just bloomed and will soon change colors. With the background having rolling hills and a light grey sky. Looking more into the image the black lines after the flower looks like a wire of some sort.

  15. When I see this image, I think of the movie Wizard Of Oz, when Dorthy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion go into the field of poppies where the Wicked Witch of the West makes everyone very tired so they can't make it to the Oz.

    (If I'm wrong on any of this, I don't care because I hate the Wizard of Oz. Therefore, I hate this picture).

  16. This picture looks like a spring farm. Looks like it just recently turned spring because there are still leaves on the ground. There is a fence in the background but it could be more symbolic by being a broken sky. It could be a broken sky too because the artist could've been struggling or going through a tough time and the flowers represent there happy place. Spring shows youth and peace while the sky could be the artist other emotions such as sadness.

  17. When I look at this picture I see an old field with pretty bright flowers. It also makes me think of spring and warm weather.

  18. Warmth and spring. Everything is better looking in spring than in the winter in most cases. I would say that that is a fence in the background, not a very well built one, but a fence non the less. It looks like a field of flowers and guessing by the rocks, it is not taken care of.

  19. This picture brings up images of spring, but they do not conjure up happy ones. The brilliant, crimson flowers sprout up everywhere in a field, but are trapped within a barbed wire fence. Behind all the attractive things all around, there is a ugly truth: there is no escape. Although the beautiful flowers are everywhere, you can't reach the other side of the field where there are blue skies and mountains on the horizon.

  20. This image makes me think of "Little House of the Prairie." The orange flowers gracefully cover the hillside. This is in the middle of spring and the flowers are in full bloom. It also appears that there is a fox hidden away in the middle of the patch and rests peacefully. At the end of the flower patch is a fence that was put up to mark the property between two neighbors that were in a dispute a long time ago. This argument has been passed down to future generations about where to put the property mark.

  21. The picture looks like a field of wild flowers in the color orange or a light red. There is a blue sky and mountains in the distance. At first I thought it was a painting on a rock wall because it looks cracked. It could also be some kind of fence, however.There might be something in the other direction that we are not seeing and the flowers are there to trick people into running into the fence. A barbed wire fence hiding in a beautiful field of flowers to catch anyone trying to run away.

  22. What this pictures appears to me as is a forgotten place. This place is forgotten for a child and his dad were playing catch when suddenly lighting hit the barbed wire fence and he was unaware. The child back into it and was electrocuted viciously. Then a twister came upon and swept the dad up with his son. This place has never been visited since.

  23. In the land the brave they sing a fiery wave of beauty and peace. But when the wind blows bringing rain behind we watch and wait for the fire to die.

  24. When I look at the picture, a cool summer day comes to mind. Peaceful serenity surrounds this place as birds fly about the skies above. The bees quietly buzz about spreading pollen among the flowers. The valley is beautifully untouched, preserved like observed in a dream.

  25. The picture is a lovely field of beautiful orange flowers, a nice place to sit and enjoy the weather but there's behind the field is a barbwire fence to keep people out, or it's it to keep people in.

  26. The air cracks with the storm's energy as the wind howls from the pain of being hit with lightning. The vibrant, orange flowers are the only color for miles. Their beauty and finesse showers across the small patch they cover. Behind those flowers is the old, rusty fence that had presided on that field for quite sometime.

  27. I see a beautiful field full of bright flowers and possibly little cute critters running around. then I look a little farther were i see barbed wire and a desert of ash and blood. it is the site of a ww2 battle. just days ago. the stench of battle still lingered in the air. i look beyond that and i see soldiers marching this way to this beautiful place...

  28. It looks like a field of wild flowers with mountains in the distance. There are black lines that break up the sky. Not sure what they represent they could be dead trees or a fence. However, the sky is a grayish blue that looks like it is about to storm and the flowers are a brilliant reddish orange color that are a big contrast to the sky. There is also very green grass and rocks that spot in between that stick out due to the brown color. Overall it is really just a field of wild flowers that could symbolize a multitude of things.

  29. I see a field, kind of like a meadow. Peaceful and serene. Nobody bothers that area it's alone, kind of like it's own miniature world.. Out of the way of harm and the hustle of the street. No one will destroy it.

  30. What comes to mind when I see this image is a secluded farm house. The barbed wire is old and keeps anything and everything out. The poppies surround the meadow and create a tranquil image. The only thing missing is Taryn's favorite animal; a cow.

  31. I'm assuming that the flowers in the pictures are poppies because of the poem below it. I read a few other people's scholar starts and they claim that the painting is cracked but I actually think it looks like trails of smoke or trails of steam from missiles or planes. The orange color of the poppies stand out against the dark green grass. I'm guessing there is some symbolism there but I'm not sure what the connection is.

  32. I see Springtime and flowers and broken wall or maybe barbed wire fence separating two places. one place that youre allowed to go to and on that is forbidden.

  33. Honestly, it makes me think of pricking my finger on the edge of one of the barbed wires. It's odd having something so harsh and cold around something so beautiful and delicate. The flowers make me think of blood being spilt. It's almost like the aftermath of something terrible. A war, battle, massacre, or something different completely desolated everything, and these flowers have grown after many years of peace. It's almost like when you look at the field where the Battle of Gettysburg occurred, and it's so beautiful that you can hardly image that something so tragic happened there.

  36. The beautiful orange flowers swish in the wind. The flowers surrounding the large boulder lean in like people looking for reassurance. The barbed wire fence is mangled and skinny, contrasting with the full, bright flowers. The setting looks empty, but at the same time full of life. The sky is a dull blue; the blue the sky shows right before a storm.

  37. The first thing that this picture reminds me of is the poppy fields from the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy falls asleep in them and is slowed down on her journey. There seems to be animals in the grass and cracks in the sky. To me, it represents a tainted form of happiness; you see what you want and you know what you want, but you can't have it. There are obstacles in the path that are too big, even for you. It is like barbed wire surrounding the field of tranquil flowers. As much as you'd love to be there, you probably can't get there without hurting yourself. The dark, jagged, chalky lines over the picture may also depict a thunderstorm coming to rain on your beautiful day. The picture is an abstract representation of all the good things in life that are tainted, no matter how much you try to change them.

  38. I see a fence from an old war when I look at this picture. It looks like the war was a long time ago, but the fence was never taken down and the field bloomed with flowers.

  39. the picture on blogspot looks like something from the hunger games or divergent but on the board it looks like something from wizard of Oz.

  40. This picture reminds me of the oncoming season, spring. Flowers are beginning to bloom and the trees are beginning to create leaves again. When looking at this picture I think of a warm day with just enough breeze to make the weather seem less hot.

  41. I think this was once someone's yard, but it has now been abandoned. There are wildflowers everywhere and now it is just a peaceful scene. I do think someone lives nearby and crosses through this yard to get somewhere, just be alone or to be alone with someone. Nobody really knows much about this place, but for this one person it is a wonderful place to have an imagination and to be himself.

    1. Also the beginning of the Sound of Music where Maria goes singing throughout the field.

  42. Honestly, this picture makes me think of a patch of flowers growing in front of barbed wires. But also it is make me think of like summer or fall weather because like when you look at them you would somewhat see them in the summer time.

  43. Theres a field of red poppies that seem to be growing wild with giant leaves mixing in with the flowers. Theres an unkempt barbwire fence cutting through them which gives you the sense of abandonment or something forgotten. The fence is obviously there to keep something in or something out so Im curious as to what that or who that is.

  44. Not many things come to mind when I see this picture besides the scene from the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy falls asleep in the meadows of flowers. I really wish I could fall asleep there right now. I am exhausted. I love the smell of flowers. I actually kinda of feel bad for flowers because they live peacefully rooted in the ground minding their own business and being all beautiful, when they die. Humans take them for their own selfish purposes to give to people to look at. Flowers are so pretty and this field is plum full of red ones.
