These grapes look ripe for harvest although for the wine one would have to travel to San Marino as they export a minuscule amount.
Time to harvest some hazel nuts, well perhaps see if you can get there before the squirrels.
I think this harvest may be corn cobs with cotton drying in the background but the stamp gives no clue as it is called the 'Great Harvest' and I must admit that sure is a bumper harvest.
Time to take a break with the farmers of Huxian.

I also think they are corn cobs but who knows?
All these stamps are wonderful. The fist picture is stunning. That would be my favourite of your post, along with the last one.
Chinese stamps are challenging to decipher, at times!
Aerial views of fields are so interesting with their quilt like patterns.
Those stooks bring back memories for me. Another great selection of stamps.
