I always know when Spring has really arrived because the local farmers plant their fields with Rape. Green, stalky weed like things sprout from the ground and I can tell reasonably accurately when the seasons will change. Not only does this seeding offer up a pungent aroma, the resultant colours can be quite spectacular.
The Colour of Early Summer
In my neck of the woods the Spring planting means the rape will be in bloom during the first weeks of early Summer. Get to know your local environment, it’s a constantly changing subject, and take advantage of the seasonal colour changes to document it photographically.
