Yellow, yellow, yellow – Bedfordshire photoshoot in the spring flowers

Every spring the golden rape fields take me by surprise. After the cold, monochrome winter, the carpets of bright, bright yellow that seem to appear overnight are a treat for the eyes.
Every year I hunt for a field suitable for family and children photoshoots – somewhere we can get close enough without actually touching or causing damage to the crops. Somewhere with a public footpath and easy access.
This year I found the perfect field. And then some.
Our little ramble to the rape fields took us across a railway bridge, over a river and through some rough meadows – the perfect recipe for a gallery of images bursting with colour and variety – despite the cold and grey day
