Canola Fields in the city

While driven to car service center to fetch up Hubby today, discover an empty field fills with Canola plants just beside a busy Street.
一塊荒蕟已久的菜籽田!好美呀!
It's so beautiful, yellow colors Canola fields. This field were left empty for years, I suppose it was a Canola field decade ago, now it's commercial lot (surronded by office building, I removed the building), still plenty of Canola growing in this dirt and empty field! Yes, this is Canola plants that can turn into Cooking/Salad oil, whice every house may have it in their kitchen cabinet!

好多蚊呀!走呀!
Hubby drove us there for me to shoot some pictures, as soon we step out the car and approaching the dirt field,, the mosquitoes came fly toward us for their "Dinner" time.
Boy Boy yell and shout "好多蚊呀!走呀!" Poor son, mommy make him stay for couple of pictures,, then he ran away!

I captured this cotton looking pollen on the ground near my office.

It's just like snowing when the Pollen flying on the air,, and on the ground,, it looks just like pile of snow.
