Spring Fields in Charlton Down

Posted on April 20, 2017 by winderjssc

The countryside around Charlton Down this April is a landscape of rolling hills covered by a brightly coloured patchwork of flowering oilseed rape fields contrasting with spring wheat, each patch separated from the next by boundaries of ancient field hedgerows and trees with branches just springing into life.

I think the oil seed is a couple of weeks early here in Hampshire this year,

Thank you, Jean. It is an artistic landscape made by a joint collaboration of nature with farmers.

Thank you, Clare. It was still feeling good up in those yellow fields beneath the big sky with all the clouds on my walk yesterday.
