Canola

Have been on the road 'out West' for several days, and before I get serious with sorting through my photographs, here's a start with a taste of the canola crops. The first that I set my eyes upon here, and I was anxious to pull over and get some snaps. It happened that the harvester/slasher was coming in also.

However, as I drove onwards, and again on my return home today, there was plenty more, beautifully vibrant canola crops to admire. All seemingly, in their prime.

  13. I've not seen canola in real life but will look out for it during an upcoming trip. Seems strangely bright amongst our earthy colours.

  14. Gorgeous scenery Carole! I love the contrast against the paddock with the sheep.
    I love drives out west, as you have probably noticed by many of my posts lately. I still have so many photos to sort through after 2 drives in 2 days a few weeks ago (600+ images to sort through).

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
