To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.
This month we will be looking for Yellow. A bright and happy colour and often associated with spring. The sun in the sky, heat and light. What yellows can you find in your world?
Field of bright yellow rapeseed in flower (canola) under a blue sky near Ludlow, Shropshire. Rapeseed is grown for the production of animal feed, vegetable oil for human consumption, and biodiesel.

Heat up the summer
The last time I saw this golden field was in 2015. Four years after I first set eyes upon it. A good example of crop rotation. Growing above head height I had to hold the camera above my head to get some of these shots. As the pollen caused my eyes to water and my nose to sneeze, I think it was worth it…
This is the last week for the colour yellow so if you have any left then please join in now. Next Sunday we will be looking for a different colour to jazz up the month of March.

Rape fields are always rewarding subjects, as you’ve shown. Malcolm’s badly affected too though,. like you. Luckily for me, I’m fine. A jazzy colour for March eh? Hmmm. Guessing already!
It’s an easy one for March.
Hello. I came here from Cathy@StillWater’s blog. I love the idea and would love to participate, but I don’t really understand how to do it. Do you just put #colour2021 somewhere in the post? And however will that make you find my blogpost? I have a very yellow honeycomb prominently placed in today’s picture post. Does it count?
Hi Charlotte. Anything with yellow in the photo counts! Just add the tag colour2021 to your post attributes (like categories) or you can create link to my post within your post which will create a pingback to me (I know it sounds complicated). Or simply make a comment here (as you have done) with your post URL. If you read through my comments you will see how others do it. Don’t worry! I’ll find you!

… og and I forgot to say that I love your rapeseed fields. The smell (stench?) is overpowering, but the flowers are fabulous and worth a mouthful or two of that laden air.
Definitely worth the shot 😀 hope it was a good farmer though with no pesky pesticides to kill off the bees
I read the psot, but what baffles me is this: “If you want to join me then simply post your colour photos and link to mine in a comment or via a pingback.”
I have linked to your blog, I have used the tag Colour21, but link in a comment? Maybe it’s because I’m not English, but I really do not iúnderstand how to do this?
Don’t worry. Links or ping backs have to be approved before they appear in the comments. I will come and view your post shortly. 😊
Mmm… dunno. And I am not going back to find out. 😆
well just typical!!!
It creates a patchwork of colour as you drive through the country, and there seemed to be more and more every year! I don’t suffer from pollen. Tish country! 🙂 🙂 I like your cropped shot and the preceding one you’ve cropped from. Tomorrow’s walk will have a healthy swathe of yellow but I probably won’t link as it will be one colour among many.
A rainbow of colours!
You went the extra mile for your art with these shots Jude. But the effort was worth it. A beautiful finish to the yellow, mellow month. Now I’m looking forward to the next “jazzy” colour
Haha… don’t get too excited, it’s just a very ordinary and very common colour. 😁
Yellow – one of my favourite colours! Have joined in with your challenge this week Jude and looking forward to next months ‘jazzy’ colour. Sounds like big bold beautiful snaps will be the order of the day.
Love seeing all the paddocks full of canola as we drive home from Queensland via NSW in September after wintering up north.
Thanks Cathy, lovely to see you!
We have many fields of oil seed rape around here, and some are almost a luminous yellow. They look lovely, but close up, I don’t like the smell they give off.
Best wishes, Pete. x
No that smell is what gets me sneezing, sort of musty, mousey smell.
