“How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.”
~ Vincent van Gogh
When I was young I wanted a yellow kitchen. I never got it–and it’s too late now, tastes change–but I did make and hang a set of yellow gingham cafe curtains when my children were babies. They cheered and comforted me for many years.
These days, I’m not drawn to yellow, so I hesitated before getting down on the ground in the park yesterday to photograph these yellow blossoms. Turned out there was a whole cheery world down there and I’m glad I took the time.

Friday is typically housework day but I may put it off in favour of camera play this morning and, this afternoon, a visit with my bestie. I’m retired. I can make my own rules now.
Yellow is so cheerful! I have some yellow walls in my house, and can tell you (and warn everyone else), it is best to use pale lemony yellow.
I agree! We painted our home in WA yellow and went through many samples before selecting a subtle buttery yellow.
