It's such a vibrant and brilliant yellow that it boggles the mind to accept that it is a natural colour. I also came across a particularly vivid kind of wild rose. At least I think it's a wild rose, I think our provincial wild rose is a different kind and a lighter pink.
Enjoy these pops of colour!
... pointing and saying, "Look! Canola!".
ReplyDeleteLOL every drive!!
DeleteThat first photo is beautiful. The yellow blooms with that threatening sky...priceless.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie, I got some nice sunset ones last night! Finally a day without a thunderstorm!
DeleteYes, vibrant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, I just love seeing the canola!
DeleteI'm very familiar with fields of Canola, or oil-seed rape as it's known over here, they grow it a lot in Cambridgeshire. Under certain lighting conditions on days of early-morning mist it does more than pop - it glows, seeming to colour the mist above it yellow too. I've seen that a couple of times but have yet to photograph it. I really love that you've shown it under that grey sky where it looks even better than under unbroken blue. I've never seen a rose like that growing wild, it's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHi John, I should get up earlier and go picture taking and try and catch that! It may be just me but I have noticed a lot more wild roses this year!
DeleteThose flowers really do pop
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam, I should've included some of the brilliant purple flowers around too.
DeleteLovely, lovely pics again, friend Jenn. Not sure whether that's an Alberta Rose, but don't matter. Hey, have you ever looked at red roses with your sun glasses on? I remember doing that in the rose garden by the Empress Hotel, and the increased intensity of the colour just blew me away. Love, cat. PS: Sorry we haven't been able to meet up yet in order to explore my homestead. First, the weather was bad, then I had to work some long stretches, now the weather is perfect, but I don't have a car at the moment … sigh … c.
ReplyDeleteHello Cat ^.^
DeleteI will do that next time I see roses! It'll work out, we will visit it one day!
Beautiful pops of colour! Our flowers aren't quite in bloom yet, it all started so late this year, but the greens are still vibrant and wonderful to look at! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rain! The green is soooo green!! It is nice to see.
Deletegorgeous...i am a "look at that" girl as well, even if it is always the same thing. it never looks quite the same and each view is prettier than the one before it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie.....I do that with horses too lol, my son doesn't even look up anymore! haha
DeleteTechnically it's not a natural colour as Canola is a genetically modified crop. I get the point though and I can't help but to take notice when the sun shines on Canola crops. I know of no other crop that reacts to the sun ☀ that way.
ReplyDeleteHAHAA dang! I didn't know that about canola! Thanks Glen!
DeleteThose colours sure look fantastic especially the canola under that dark sky,
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill, it was a nice contrast.
DeleteWhat a dramatic sky!
ReplyDeleteThanks William, seems to be a daily thing here in July!
