Will I Sneeze?

A panoramic view (four image composite picture) of the field of oilseed rape next to one of the lanes we walk from time to time. This is the field where the farmer was using kite bird scarers some weeks ago.

When I get too close to this lovely yellow display each year I usually end up with a day or two sneezing.

Alongside some nice sunny mornings we have also had our share of heavy rain showers and electrical storms throughout the week.

Harvest Time

Well, for Oilseed Rape anyway.
In spite of some recent high winds and occasional heavy showers it was still standing.

One of the fields at the end of our lane was harvested a few days ago.
Today when we went walkabout mid afternoon I could hear the combine was working very close by.
It was working on the field right next to the lane end:



This is the first time I have used the Nikon at full 1080p resolution.
Hand held as I do most times. A bit of stabilization done in iMovie.
As usual you may have to force YouTube to show it in HD.

As it was blustery and the video ended up with loud wind noise I replaced the soundtrack.
Music - God's Reminding.

Yellow in the Yellowbelly County

Yellowbelly - a term sometimes used to describe a person from Lincolnshire.
The derivation is lost in the mists of time. Some ideas here on Wikipedia.

Yellow flowers spotted yesterday.

 Firstly the Ice Plant shown a few days ago.
An excellent ground cover plant very tolerant to drought:

Another excellent ground cover plant, drought tolerant:
A Sedum but I forget which:

Dandelion. Loved by insects and the bane of many a gardener:

Buttercup. Far too many in my lawn. As a child did you ever hold one under someone's chin to see whether the reflected yellow Sunlight showed they liked butter?

My tomato plants flowering nicely:

Lincolnshire wouldn't be the same without its glowing fields of Oilseed Rape:
