After learning about a farm in northern Tennessee, not far outside of Nashville, with blooming Canolas, I had to take a drive this weekend in hopes of finding it. After a good deal of turning down this road, turning around and backtracking and then turning down that road, eventually I found the farm. Sure enough, there were several fields on both sides of a country road in full bloom with yellow Canola flowers for as far as the eye could see. It was a beautiful sight, not to mention a definite pick me up, what with the bright yellow blooms.
I read online that canola is not only an edible oil for consumption by both humans and animals, but it is considered to be one of the healthiest plant derived oils. As I was snapping photos one of the farmers stopped and mentioned that the Canola fields aren't planted every year. I hope your week has been a good one. The weekend is upon us and I will be conducting my second photography workshop. I will teaching Bird Photography and fortunately, for this workshop I don't have to travel. There's a ton of bird photography hot spots right out my back door all up and down Old Hickory Lake. Wish me luck! ENJOY!
Seas of yellow .. we have similar vistas here with yellow Rape.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and have fun with the bird photo workshop. Have a super weekend Carol.
I love the focus you took on these shots, Carol. Glad you kept searching. Your photos are the reward for your hunt!
ReplyDeleteGlorious yellow fields, And a workshop, have I missed the news of the first one? Great enterprise, and I'm so sure this will be a winner for everyone.
ReplyDeleteWe seecanola here every year, but not until well into June or later. It's common on the Canadian prairies, along with flax, so you get blue and yellow fields together.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty. I use the oil all the time, but did not know how it grew.
