Yellow: What I'm Seeing Now

Everywhere you go in England in April and May- well, everywhere I've gone - the countryside is a patchwork of green and yellow. The yellow is a crop called oilseed rape.
I've heard it described as a "love it or you hate it" plant. I love yellow, so I like seeing the squares of yellow fields all over. I'm not sure why people hate it. Allergies? Don't like yellow? Don't want the landscape of green fields interrupted? 
I just thought I'd share what England looks like right now from the train window or driving down the dual carriageway (that's "highway" for you American folks).

    This post is interesting to me because one if the magazines I read encouraged people in England to plant oilseed rape because it is dying out. Obviously not in your neck of the woods! :) I think it is very pretty.

    How can a person not like those beautiful fields of flowers. I guess some people are hard to please.
