Crops fascinate me. I enjoy trying to figure out what they are. But photographically it is impossible to go past a field of canola in flower.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared.

The Pasture by Robert Frost
"I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.
I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."

It all looks so incredibly lush.
ReplyDeleteThis was a huge field out Dubbo way. I liked the way this particular section had the green "river" running through it. I wonder why it was there?
ReplyDeleteCanola is as spectacular in real life as it is on camera. I got to see it this year but unfortunately couldn't take my time over them as we were on tour.
ReplyDeleteYes there is a difference between touring and wayfaring I find.
DeleteA crop with style. I like the patterns :D)
ReplyDeleteI like the patterns too. They are usually just a whole slab of brilliant yellow.
