Every spring, right before they plant the years crops, the field around here are filled with these yellow flowered plants. I'm not sure if they're a weed or are planted to preserve the soil until they plow, but they make for some pleasant scenery. I've been wanting to take some pictures of them for 3 years, but find that I always wait just a little too long. It was almost the case this year, but after some thorough searching, I was able to find a couple fields still in bloom.
