Dancing Among the Yellow Waves: An Ode to Rapeseed Fields
Siri and Selma welcome our dear readers to the land where fields of yellow meet furry friends of the wild in North Norfolk. In the heart of our countryside, where the sun kisses the earth with its golden rays, lies a scene straight out of a fairy tale. Fields of rape stretch as far as our eye can see, painting the landscape in vibrant shades of yellow.
Liebe Leser, heute heißen Siri und Selma euch willkommen zwischen den gelben Feldern mit unseren wilden pelzigen Freunden hier in North Norfolk. Wo die Sonne die Erde mit ihren goldenen Strahlen küsst, liegen Szenen wie aus einem Märchen. Rapsfelder, so weit unser Auge reicht, malen die Landschaft in einem lebendigen Gelb.
![](https://fabfourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024_hannesiebers_rapeseedfield_1400.jpg?w=1280)
In this sea of yellow, we see some wild animals. Hares dart through the tall stalks, their fluffy tails bobbing like brushstrokes on a painter’s palette. They are already out of sight before Dina can pull out her camera. Deer look intently across the fields and in the distance we hear a pheasant calling.
In diesem Meer aus Gelb sehen wir einige wilde Tiere. Hasen flitzen durch hohe Halme, ihre flauschigen Schwänze wippen wie Pinselstriche auf der Palette eines Malers. Aber schon sind sie außer Sicht, bevor Dina ihre Kamera zücken kann. Rehe schauen aufmerksam über die Felder und in der Ferne hören wir einen Fasan rufen.

Walking through these fields, we feel like characters from a children’s book, where every corner harbours a new adventure and every creature has a story to tell. It’s not just the inhabitants of these fields that capture our imagination, but also the fields themselves. The rapeseed blossoms sway gently in the breeze, their sweet scent fills the air and invites all who pass by to stop and admire their beauty.
Bei einem Spaziergang durch diese Felder fühlen wir uns wie Figuren aus einem Kinderbuch, in dem jede Ecke ein neues Abenteuer birgt und jedes Lebewesen eine Geschichte zu erzählen hat. Es sind nicht nur die Bewohner dieser Felder, die unsere Fantasie anregen, sondern auch die Felder selbst. Die Rapsblüten wiegen sich sanft in der Brise, ihr süßer Duft erfüllt die Luft und lädt alle, die vorbeikommen, ein, stehen zu bleiben und ihre Schönheit zu bewundern.
![](https://fabfourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024_hannesiebers_roedeer_rapeseedfield_sign.jpg?w=1280)
If you ever need a dose of ease, take a stroll along the rape fields. Who knows what magical adventures await you amidst the yellow waves?
A warning for dog owners was erroneously circulating on social media that rapeseed is deadly for dogs. We can reassure you that this is not the case.
Falls ihr eine Dosis Leichtigkeit braucht, spaziert entlang die Rapsfelder. Wer weiß, welche magischen Abenteuer inmitten der gelben Wellen auf euch warten?
Fälschlicher Weise kursierte in den sozialen Medien eine Warnung für Hundebesitzer, dass Rapssamen für Hunde tödlich seien. Wir können euch beruhigen, das ist nicht der Fall.
![](https://fabfourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024_hannesiebers_roedeer_rapeseedfield02sign.jpg?w=1280)
A mischievous hare, with ears flopping like little wings, darting through the yellow waves as if engaged in a game of hide-and-seek with the sun itself.
Ein schelmischer Hase, dessen Ohren wie kleine Flügel flattern, huscht durch die gelben Wellen, als würde er mit der Sonne selbst Verstecken spielen.
![](https://fabfourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024_hannesiebers_hare_rapeseedfield02sign-copy.jpg?w=1280)
Amidst all the beauty, there’s room for a touch of humour. Imagine a cheeky hare peeking out from behind stalks of rape with a mischievous twinkle in its eye. Is he up to no good or just enjoying the sunshine? Who knows?
Inmitten dieser Schönheit und Erhabenheit ist auch Platz für Humor. Stellt euch einen frechen Hasen vor, der mit verschmitztem Augenzwinkern hinter Rapshalmen hervorlugt. Führt er nichts Gutes im Schilde oder genießt er nur die Sonne?
![](https://fabfourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024_hannesiebers_hare_resting_sign.jpg?w=1280)
In the land of yellow and wildlife, beauty and whimsy go hand in hand. Embrace it, cherish it like Siri and Selma do and let the magic of the yellow rape fields take you away.
Im Land des Rapses und der wilden Tiere gehen Schönheit und Launenhaftigkeit Hand in Hand. Lasst euch sich von der Magie der gelben Rapsfelder mitreißen und genießt sie wie Siri und Selma.

It is quite meditative to go out into the fields and enjoy nature. Dina knows most of the farmers here who gave her permission to photograph on their fields. She goes out early morning with our dear Selma when nobody is around and hides in the hedges with her camera to get nice shots of the hares. Later we all four stroll through the fields and just enjoy nature.

We have a non-native, invasive plant in the mustard family that has flowers remarkably like these; I was pleased to find that this species is useful as well as beautiful. William Morris said, “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful.” In this case, nature seems to have adopted his dictum for her landscape.
The photos are stunning; the combination of the creatures with the plants is wonderfully done. I especially like the softer focus in the foreground. The image of the deer in the midst of the flowers is simply perfect: just the right combination of soft and sharp focus.

Gratulation für den Erfolg des Musicals “Fabi und Mo”. Wir halten ganz fest unsere Daumen, dass es noch viele weitere Ausführungen gibt.
Mit dem Farbprojekt, Buch und Karten in Kassette, da musst du noch etwas warten, es wird erst im Frühjahr 2025 bei Königsfurt-Urania erscheinen.
Dein Farbvogel könnte dem Projekt entsprungen sein.
Ja, jede Kita ist anders, selbst die Feenkitas. Siri und Selma waren in einer anthroposophischen und lachten sich immer schief, dass alle Ecken am Papier abgerundet werden mussten. Außerdem war Malen mit der Farbe Schwarz verpönt, aber dennoch gefiel es ihnen dort gut, weitaus besser als in einer Kita der katholischen Kirche, wo man versuchte, sie mit allen Mitteln zu indoktrinieren.
Gleich geht es ab in die Sauna.

im Gegensatz zu dir war ich in einer Kita. Damals war die Betreuung wenig reflektiert. Ich wundere mich, dass die Betreuerinnen, die wir damals ‘Tanten’ nannten, mich nicht von der Freude an der Farbe abgebracht haben. Sie hatten genaue Vorstellungen, was in welcher Farbe gemalt werden sollte. Abweichungen waren nicht erlaubt. Oder es gab Malvorlagen, die ausgemalt werden sollten. Patzen, so nannten es die Betreuerinnen, wenn wir über den Rand malten, war eine Todsünde.
Als Kind war ich im Grunde Avantgarde, ich stand Jackson Pollock näher als Vermeer ;-), nicht so die Tanten.
Dann wünschen wir dir viel Glück bei den Kitas. Mich hat verwundert, dass die Kinder augenscheinlich lieber tanzen als singen. Siri und Selma waren als kleinere Kinder eher Malfeen. Das liegt wohl daran, dass ich viel gemalt, jedoch wenig gesungen und getanzt habe. Klassisches Modelllernen.

The opening photograph is a placid and pretty landscape.
In North America the edible oil from one strain of this plant is called canola, from “Can(ada) o(il,) l(ow) a(cid).” For marketing purposes, that’s a much better name because it avoids confusion with the unrelated but identical rape that has such a negative meaning.

I think you all have been captured by the Rapeseed fairies! And it’s good. 😉 The feeling of openness and joy comes across very clearly. The text is fun and the photos are fantastic. A good memory of spring in Northern Germany is driving alongside the endless yellow fields. The plant must have been brought here long ago because it has escaped into our roadsides, too. It’s not cultivated here but grows in fallow fields and at the edges of cultivated fields – so pretty. (I especially like the deer looking at Dina and the hare in the grass with its ears down). Have a lovely afternoon, Fab Four!

These yellow fields are typical for late spring and early summer. The rapeseed fields increased all over Europe because rapeseed is used for biofuel.
Thanks for your comment.
Have a happy day

The long extended yellow field and the beautiful cloudscape take my breath away. And, it’s so wonderful to see these lovely creatures. What a treat to enjoy the nature through your lens. Thank you FFOC!

Dear Amy
thank you very much for your kind words 🙏 🙏
Siri, Selma and Kb love the first picture of the cloudscape very much as well. We have a lot of sky with lovely clouds here nearly every day.
We always wanted to ask you, do you live in Taiwan?
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week

Ein wundervoll poetischer Text und bewundernswerte Aufnahmen. Dass die liebe Dina ja immer ganz großartige Aufnahmen macht, das wusste ich ja schon, aber hier hat sie sich selber übertroffen, finde ich. Ich habe mir die Aufnahmen einmal auf dem Grossbildschirm unseres Fernsehers angeschaut: einfach Wahnsinn, kann ich da nur sagen. Habt Ihr eine Gelegenheit dazu? Wenn ja, unbedingt ausprobieren!
Liebe Gruesse aus dem fernen Texas ins kleine Dorf am großen Meer,

Guten Morgen, lieber Pit,
seit gestern Nachmittag stürmt es hier, dass es einem die Haare vom Kopf weht.
Herzlichen Dank für deinen lieben Kommentar, der uns sehr erfreut hat.
Wir können uns die Bilder nicht auf einem großen Fernsehschirm anschauen, da wir keinen Fernseher besitzen. Wir schauen sie uns auf einem größeren Computerbildschirm an.
Gleich wird Kb mit Siri 🙂 den neuen Text für den nächsten Blogbeitrag bearbeiten, den die liebe Dina lektoriert hat. Lass dich überraschen …
Ganz liebe Grüße an euch in Texas. Lasst es euch wohl ergehen

Hi Klausbernd,
Thank you for sharing such a vivid and enchanting ode to the rapeseed fields of North Norfolk. Your description transports us to a magical land where the golden fields meet the playful wildlife. The imagery of hares darting through the tall stalks and deer looking intently across the fields is truly captivating.
I can almost smell the sweet scent of the rapeseed blossoms and feel the gentle breeze as I read your words. The whimsical touch of a mischievous hare playing hide-and-seek with the sun adds a delightful sense of joy and wonder to the scene.
Your post beautifully captures the harmony and beauty of nature, inviting us all to embrace and cherish these moments of magic. Thank you for this delightful escape into the yellow waves of rapeseed fields.
Warm regards, Mike

Dear Mike
thank you so much for your kind comment.
You describe our country side pretty well. Inland Norfolk is sparsely populated, lots of big fields and wildlife. This is were Dina hides camouflaged in the hedges to photograph wildlife.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend
