Yellow is a colour I associate with Easter, and so, it seems does my seven-year-old neighbour (the one who lives with Rosie the Cat). I know this because I received an Easter greeting from her this morning with the words Happy Easter in yellow and purple, and again in red and green. They were labelled helpfully with a luminous marker, Easter Colours and Christmas Colours. So now you know. She wished me lots of chocolate, and I haven’t had any yet, but that can be rectified later. Actually she wished me lots off chocolate, but I think that was just a bit of over enthusiasm with her curly letter fs.
It may have been her greeting that stayed with me, because when I went out for a walk a bit later, I started to see yellow everywhere. After a while I began to photograph it.
Here’s a selection.
Happy Easter!
Lovely photos of yellow – the one that created the biggest smile is the dandelions.
Whereas I like the blackbird best! But that may be because I am hopeless at photographing any bird smaller than a goose…
Me, too! And it is even better if they have seen a taxidermist. You do great with cats – I have tried dogs and none of them have been postable.
I didn’t photograph the dog I bonded with today, so I shall have to think about that. I met (and fell in love with) some huskies, though one is probably a husky malamute cross, and I plan to photograph them. I can see there will be problems. They are constantly on the go, and adhere to you closely. Maybe some close ups of their fur…
Actually, for great dog pix, see Lorely’s page. She’s on my blog roll. Her writing is superb too.
Beautiful yellow!!! Great shots!!! Happy Easter!!!
Thanks-you! Happy Easter to you too.:)
Oh bless her, its nice to get greetings from little ones. Love the the way cross is created.
I used to go to Long Melford church with my mother most Easters. They always had a huge cross of daffodils on the inside north door, and a wonderful representation of the tomb in the south transept. I should go back and see if they still do it.
With your camera of course 🙂
I’ve never seen daffodils used like that but its lovely.
Hmm. Interesting. I shall have a quick google search and see if it common.
Long Melford is lovely. The church is huge and well maintained. I recommend a visit. It is near Lavenham but has nowhere as many visitors. Great for antiques.
Just looked with the help og google and found a number of crosses made with daffodils, but none in Long Melford!
Hope you had a wonderful Easter Isobel! Happy Easter Monday!! Lovely yellow.. 🙂 I finally have some daffodils on the porch!
Happy Easter Monday to you too Pix. Enjoy the daffs. 🙂
Love that cross! It’s daffs all the way here too!
Maybe today’s colour should be purple…
Those dandelions are well advanced!
Yes, especially considering the cold weather. A micro climate in SE11? Have you been away?
Maybe a particularly virulent strain?
Not been away, just busy.
Nice to see you.
Daffs *do* mean spring to me and the forsythia buds are starting to burst in the garden – all cheering stuff 🙂
Forsythia is something that connects me back to early childhood. We had a hedge of forsythia and it was stunning.
