We set off early yesterday morning for the small town of Dowerin 156km north-east of Perth in the central wheatbelt region of WA. Producing two thirds of the state's wheat the fields stretch out as far as the eye can see and at this time of the year, during and just after the rains, the colours of the canola side by side with the wheat are glorious. What is it about the colour yellow that is so enticing, it's hard to find that point where you have enough shots and need to stop! Will show you tomorrow the reason for the exodus to the country.. all that fresh air is exhausting :) catch up tomorrow, have a good Friday, take care....
It is utterly gorgeous. I hadn't thought of Australia as a canola producer; we have fields of that here.
ReplyDeleteCana(da) ola sounds so much nicer than rapeseed. All that yellow is healing and inspiring! Wonder what you were doing there........⭐
ReplyDeleteI guessed what it was before I read. It also reminded me of our wild turnips. Van Gogh would have liked those fields!
ReplyDeletewat groots om zo over de uitgestrekte landerijen te kunnen kijken.
ReplyDeleteOh, how gorgeous indeed!! All those gold and green fields and and beautiful blue skies!! Awesome captures for the day and a wonderful start for mine!! Thanks for sharing the beauty, as always, Grace!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty! I have only seen something similar in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous, Grace. I think Steffe showed yellow canola fields a month ago. Beautiful. wherever they are.
ReplyDeleteOnly the other week you were in the city being seduced by reds! Shameless hussy!
ReplyDeleteReminds me fields of rape...a beautiful yellow! Arianna
ReplyDeleteReminds of my trip to Sweden during the same season!
ReplyDeleteWe have fields of sunflowers right now - hope they´re still there and I can take a pic next week on the way home from work - yes, yellow it is, Grace!
ReplyDeleteYellow is my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
ReplyDeleteThe sight of green and yellow all around, blue above and freedom to take your time enliven the soul.
Enjoy.
Perfect yellow fields.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

Like the canola fields in eastern Germany. Glorious!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos. Such a beautiful scene. We don't see canola fields here but I have seen them while traveling. They always make me want to stop and take photos.
ReplyDeleteVery well done, Gracie! Beautiful to see our Winter green and gold since we most of the year, the 'Wheatbelt' is dry and dusty. Some of the farms are the size of small countries :-) francesmacaulayforde.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fields of yellow.
ReplyDeleteMagic!! Enjoy & take care.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth shot is my favorite. Well composed.
ReplyDeleteCanola fields in bloom on a drive through the countryside lift the spirits that's for sure Grace.
ReplyDeleteHallo Grace, really lovely, I also did plenty of picture of the canola fields.. here it grows in May-June... well done ! saluti
ReplyDeleteI love yoyr yellow fields. The last one is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what canola is, but those are lovely vistas. They actually look a little like the fields in parts of East Anglia, England; though I'm guessing yours go on a bit further!
ReplyDeleteYellow fields are always good for eyes and spirit , this is a joyful color !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours Grace. Reminds me of Cheshire in Spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's true that yellow canola fields are beautiful. I love it when canola blossoms bloom here. And I very much like the contrast of the green fields here!
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous fields!
ReplyDeleteI've been seduced. There. I've admitted the crime.
ReplyDeleteThe fields look so pretty in yellow!
ReplyDeleteCanola fields are such a sure sign of spring, aren't they? So pretty!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you were seduced by those fields, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI too.
