Mid-July is canola season on the prairies of this western Canadian province. When the canola blossoms, I like nothing more than to cruise rural roads looking for gorgeous scenes like this. Derived from rapeseed oil, canola was invented during the 1970s in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Canola/rapeseed is extensively cultivated in Canada, France, Belgium, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Poland, Japan and Slovenia.

Gorgeous, Frank! In Napa Valley the Rapeseed is a ground cover in the vineyards and so beautiful when it flourishes.
