No, not that kind of rape! When I was living in the UK it was always called rape, but rapeseed is known as canola in other places, and colza here in France. Whatever you call it, the countryside is transformed into fields of gold at this time of year, rich with the yellow flowers. It is absolutely stunning to see and certainly makes a cheering sight after the bare winter pastures. I am in awe of the speed with which it grows and produces the flowers.
The daily walks are definitely made all the more pleasant with such lovely views.
A Bientôt!
Thanks Al for these beautiful images, which take me back to my first visit to France in 1988, when the magnificent yellow fields of rape lodged deep into my first impressions. How blessed you are to now call these fields home..
