I was driving through the Northeast part of the county, near Wild River State Park, as I went to pick up our CSA share. One field I passed on the way, that, as I recall, has been fallow for several years, looks like it's been planted in rapeseed this year. It's attention getting but not as startling as exploding goldfinches.
a field of rapeseed?

In our North Country, yellow becomes a significant contributor to Summer scenes: lots (272) of Minnesota's wildflowers are yellow, sunshine is yellow during those longer Summer days that aren't cloud-covered or stormy, plus, lots of Summer squashes are shades of yellow. I suppose I could claim my sunny disposition(?) becomes even more mellow in Summer, but not as much as Donovan's Mellow Yellow. What else? It depends on the season.

A lane of Yellow led the eye Unto a Purple Wood Whose soft inhabitants to be Surpasses solitude If Bird the silence contradict Or flower presume to show In that low summer of the West Impossible to know -
