The Theme is Yellow

Backwards Dandelion

Sleeping Boat, Pigeon Lake

Marsh Marigolds

Yellow Canary ( Warbler ) next to our hammock. She was complaining as we were too close to her nest in a wild rose bush, with four cream-coloured eggs with speckles on them in it.

Today's theme is Yellow. There are so many things in nature and elsewhere that are yellow. It seems to be a popular colour. It is the colour of the sun; the leaves of the maple trees in  the fall; taxis in Vancouver and New York; yellow lines on the road; and stands out if you wear it. It is mentally stimulating. Here are a few photos from our recent trip to Alberta with yellow in them...(and orange). Oh yes, by the way, Debussy liked blondes too, that's why he wrote a piece called "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair"....

Such a cheerful colour. I've been looking for some yellow cushions for my newly decorated sitting room ... but it can't be in fashion right now as I can't find any.

Lovely mellow colour, strikingly mellow photographs. I feel relaxed just looking at them.
