NATURE rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,
Prodigal of blue,
Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover’s words.
............Emily Dickinson
But, oh, Emily...when nature uses yellow, how she uses yellow!
(in Germany, fields of "raps" or rapeseed....near the Baltic Sea)

we'll get prolific seas of yellow in the form of "ragweed" and "goldenrod" - even the ragweed is a beautiful sight to behold - we love springtime at the nanchouse - most of our garden is already in the soil.
i'm going to have a crop of tender sweet taters for frying like you wouldn't believe!
BEAUTY!

I've been in the Baltic a few times AND on the north shore of Germany, but I've never seen anything this lovely! Thanks Z.

Perhaps you’d like to buy a flower?
But I could never sell.
If you would like to borrow
Until the daffodil
Unties her yellow bonnet
Beneath the village door,
Until the bees, from clover rows
Their hock and sherry draw,
Why, I will lend until just then,
But not an hour more!
Emily Dickinson (1830-86)

Oh how I wish I could witness this with my own eyeballs!
