Mellow Yellow

To bad I had no pictures from an airplane, it's a real checkerboard effect if you ever flew over my province. So ground level it is then. It's the world of Canola.


Canada's largest canola fields
Wow, yellow so bright it hurts the eyes.
A little roof peaking above the canolas.
Morning dew waiting to quench a bug's thirst.
A moth hard at work.
Alberta's derricks working none stop.

  12. WOW I love the crazy yellow...hardly mellow.

    By the way, you are right about life being too short to drink bad wine...also too short to waste time on crappy books when there are masterpieces.
