This is the post that illustrates Van Gogh’s words, rather than my last one. We’ll showcase all the wonderfully optimistic flowers of spring next time. Let’s just pass directly to summer, and enjoy the over-pungent fields of rape; the gorse rollicking over the coastal parts of the Cleveland Way in Yorkshire; a painted lady enjoying summer yellow; fields of sunflowers in France, forever turning their faces to the sun; and finally, yellow’s final fling – harvest season. Just before the bad weather sets in – look at that last foreboding image. Luckily, Jude provides the opportunity for us to hunt down all our yellow-rich images, in her challenge Life in Colour.

Something like Runswick Bay, or Robin Hood’s? I love that coastline when the gorse is out. And magnificent sunflower shots too, Margaret 🙂 🙂

Fab! And where was that church/abbey in France, Margaret? Presumably somewhere Pyrenees way

It’s in the Aude, Villelongue de’Aude, and we passed it on walks sometimes. In the foothills of the Pyrenees really, prime vine country.

They are. Though in the case of rape, best not viewed in the company of a hay fever sufferer.

Gotta be happy with that, Margaret. I’ve never seen fields of sunflowers before. They are quite spectacular.

Gorse is always in flower somewhere, just depends on the type. The header photo of the rapeseed fields is a beauty. They look so amazing, but the smell always makes me sneeze. Your photo of the trees in the rape field looks very similar to my favourite trees in Ludlow – https://traveltalk.me.uk/2014/09/20/wpc-endurance/

The gallery you link to is lovely. Great minds, eh? And you and my husband could go off into the sunset, sneezing together as you view the rape fields. And gorse is always a dependable splash of colour – somewhere.

Nature does yellow perfectly and beautifully captured in your grid of photos. Just the ticket for the current situation. I love the scent of gorse, always brings back memories of childhood holidays on the Suffolk coast.

Gorse? Yes. Rape? Not so much. I only noticed the smell of gorse fairly recently, which is odd.

What a wonderful array of yellows – I so enjoyed all these photos. The last one is particularly interesting with the dandelions in the golden field with the storm clouds gathering behind.

I like that one too. But they’re not dandelions, which don’t have those long, tough stems. Hawkweed? Not sure, but someone will tell us I expect.
