Yellow

The theme for one of the very first photo challenge I entered was yellow.  I almost gave up since I just didn't think I had any yellow around, but it opened my eyes to a plant in my very own yard.  I am not sharing the photos from that time because they are just so very bad.  Since then it seems like every photo has some yellow in it (lots of yellow slides around).  I was able to narrow it down to two of my absolute favorites from the last few months and one new photo that I took for this challenge.

You can see the original if you mouse over the photo.  I did play around a bit.

When I saw this flower, I thought "Oh!  Yellow!  Crazy Days of Summer!"  Yes, I think in short, staccato exclamation points.  Now that I have it up close, I think it might be kind of ugly, especially with the dying lily pads, but today has been a Crazy Day of Summer (only our second day of no school--does not bode well) so it is what it is.

Make sure to check out the other posts over at Project Alicia or Live and Love Outloud.  It is bound to be a veritable feast of yellow--the happiest color on earth!
