There was just no other word for me on today's ABC Wednesday meme but yellow. It's been so utterly dark and gloomy that the only way I could be cheered up was by looking through my garden photos from last spring and summer! The yellow flowers can only make me smile - two roses and two daisies.

Next up, we have lemon trees in someone's garden in a little town in Italy (left) and sunset over the Fraser River last winter when we had all that snowfall.
Well, these photos cheered me up quite a bit. Hope they took away some of the gloominess of your wintry day as well.
Now what would really cheer me up is if I somehow received the gift or a yacht or even a small yawl - painted yellow, of course. This one would do me just fine!
And if you're wondering how this post ties in with my theme for this round, here it is. Lorne planted and cared for the roses and daisies this summer. Also, he helped me set up the shot of the sunset over the ice last December ('08) and he used to have a yellow sailboat named Daisy.

ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic yellow shots for the Y day, Leslie! I know what you mean about looking for something cheerful! It's so gray and grumpy here in Seattle -- and guess I'm pretty much the same -- gray and grumpy! Ah, well, as Scarlet said, tomorrow is another day!
