It goes by many names in different languages. Perhaps you say, geel, jaune, gelb, gulur, giallo, or amarillo. I just say yellow.
It is a color associated with cowardice, caution, and aging. It is the color of a submarine that The Beatles deemed so special.
It is the color of cabs and school buses. It signals victories in the form of the maillot jaune in the Tour de France. It is the color of the sun in every childhood drawing.
At this moment yellow covers pastures all over Smalltownland.
Beautiful and maybe not so mellow.
How lovely! Perhaps we need to go on a country drive here soon...
ReplyDeletelove these 'put a fence in front of it' photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI say "geel"!! Lovely pictures Mich,have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting idea! Alexander Theroux wrote about eighty pages about yellow in his 'The Primary Colours', and it is a fascinating reading...
ReplyDeleteMichelle -- Mustard blooms are everywhere. I know they are rather invasive but I don't care. I pick them and place in a vase by my computer. They keep their bloom for days in my vase. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. And it is, perhaps, a more mellow shade of yellow ;-)
ReplyDeleteI once had a little Ford pickup I called..."Mellow Yellow"!
ReplyDeleteAnd yellow, in many shades, is the color of choice for sunflowers!
Love your photos!
I loved this post.. I also love yellow. To me it evokes happy sunny days.. we have our family room and dining room painted yellow so I can feel like it's a sunny day all year here in oftentimes gray Oregon.
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I love your pictures and the yellow that you're seeing so are we--It just makes me feel so good to look at it!
ReplyDeletea delightful collection of photos almost NORMAN ROCKWELL ish
ReplyDeleteOh, great.....for the past two days Bella Linda by the Grassroots has been echoing inside my head and now Donovan is moving in!
ReplyDeleteGreat yellow...All of our wild yellow flowers are just about gone...I'll just enjoy your's for a while now...
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Sunday
Love this post. My brother, who died in '09, always answered the phone, "Yello!" (His pronunciation of 'hello'.) We miss that 'Yello!'
ReplyDeleteThese are super. A very peaceful scene.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the horses love to graze on this yellow blooms, Michelle. It certainly brightens the scenery!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Michelle. Both photos and your words. :)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are stunning. I love the yellow in them. I'm going back for a second look.
ReplyDeleteLook at those beautiful fields...maybe it smells good too?
ReplyDeleteSpread out over fields like this I call it 'beautiful'. Nice pics.
ReplyDeletethey look more like paintings than photographs to me !

too bad for the negative connotations, as yellow is a most stunning color in early spring when the forsythia starts to bloom.

ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else who loves your photography. It's such a pleasure to view your handiwork.
ReplyDeleteSoon the daisies will be blooming all over here. I can't wait!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. We saw fields like that around Opp, Alabama. I wished they came a little more south.
