Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

This is the only current image in this series. This yellow and aqua ball has been sitting on the snow-covered pond for the past couple of weeks. When I first saw it, only the yellow portion was visible. Most recently the aqua half of it is most apparent. This was taken somewhere in between those two times.
Welcome to my kitchen window where my plants reside through the winter, soaking up yellow morning sunshine. I'm looking forward to late spring when I can transfer them outside again.
A Mother's Day gift of beautiful yellow lilies from my younger son almost two years ago. They enjoy a rainy day.
The yellow roses also glistened under the raindrops.
A different rainy day. This tiny yellow leaf clung to the larger green foliage like this for days afterward.
Brilliant yellow wildflowers grow along one of my usual walking paths.
Fuzzy yellow goslings snuggle up together in the sunshine. They're supposed to be sleeping but the little one on the right kept a wary, weary eye on me.
The soft, silky petal of a solitary yellow rose.
Queen Anne's Lace makes a lovely silhouette in the deepening yellow sunlight of a winter dusk.
This was one of my favourite unexpected photographic moments. It was an October afternoon and we'd been walking alongside the creek. The air temperature must have dropped slightly. As we walked away from the creek to go back home, we could see a fine yellow mist beginning to form above the creek, and breeze over the path...
By the time we reached the path just a few meters away, the air was filled with this golden yellow cloud. Here two people - one on bike and one on foot break through the sunlit haze.See hue soon!

there is just something about that little yellow leaf clinging to the edge of the green...nicely done!
Beautiful collection once again. I love the goslings photo. Around here the parent geese would never let us get close enough to make a good photograph.
wonderful bright post full of light and sun...thank you...love the queen anne lace image

Very nice........makes me long for spring!!!!
I love that Elton song and the song Mellow Yellow by Donovan too... Great perspective pictures Hilary!
I love your mellow yellow photo's...very nicely done once again Hilary. Happy Thursday!
The yellows are wonderful. I love those rare days when the sunset and the clouds are just right to make the very air glow yellow.
Talk about being in the right place at the right time! That last shot is something else...
Love the creek - spirits rising.
Wonderful! The yellow colours are fabulous, especially that mist! Love it! I'm aching for spring colours on this dreary grey day!
:)
Those goslings are glorious
I find yellow so sunny and warm as was your blog today.
The goslings and the golden haze with the walker and bicycler are my personal picks. Seeing sunny yellow today brights my day.
Unique and fantastic images! As I scroll down the page I think to myself; this one is my favorite, only to realize the next one is.
I love them all and remember the little yellow leaf holding onto the green one from a previous post.

I loved those yellow things and the last one of the cyclists going through the mist was fantastic.
Nuts in May
I like that yellow on the water, and the window. Warmth, just what is needed. Yellow post is perfect!
I love the glow of sunlight that infuses all these pictures-it is a very rare commodity here at the moment.
Beautiful, and just what is needed.
You've brightened a gray and overcast day. Thanks.
Gorgeous! Especially the ones in the mist;)
Wonderful--thank you!!
Yellow roses are my favourites - hm, I think I say that every time I see them. Love the mist and the gosling's.
Every time I choose my favorite, I look a the next one. The last four - all my favorites.
I love how you're able to update us on your lovely, subtle subjects - like telling us which side of the ball is currently visible and how long the little leaf clung to the larger.
Good lord, those last ones , the Queen Anne's Lace, and the misty path ~~ no words.
These are all so unique and interesting.
Hilary those pictures make me feel all warm inside!
Beau-hue-ful! :-)
These are such great shots of yellow. You had so many with a dominate color. I really like all of them. Good job!
All that yellow made me feel quite mellow!
Another beautiful, soothing post, Cuzzie.
Hugs from Snow White (Cuzzie P) in non-yellow VT
I love the color yellow. It's soft and sweet, like butter. So beautiful.
Stop it with the ducklings!
Great yellow pics! I like all of them, but the leaf, goslings and mists pictures are my fav!
These photos are oustandingly beautiful and evocative.
I am really enjoying this series of "colors" posts Hilary. They just keep getting better! Thank you.

I love these color theme posts. The gosling photo was an unexpected treat!
A nice collection of yellow photos Hilary. I specially liked your Queen Anne's Lace silhouette. - Dave
The bicycle riders in the mist - OMG! And the macro image of the rose - it makes me want to snuggle my nose into it and inhale deeply.
Your blog should be listed on medical websites under 'ways to lower your blood pressure!'
Superb shots. Love the misty yellowness and that tiny leaf clinging to the larger one - so vulnerable - just like life!
Never have I enjoyed yellow so much! What gorgeous yellow photos. The yellow mist is just hypnotyzing. Wow. :)
I love the misty shots at the end! Fabulous, yet again, Hilary.
Beautiful photos. The shot of the yellow rose close up took my breath away. Very Georgia Okeefe of you. Wonderful.
Love your photos as usual! The luscious -coloured wild flowers are calling for the rush of spring, as are the gorgeous goslings!
You see the magic, Hilary, you really do.
Your queen anne's lace is spectacular! And the mist! Love the yellow flowers too. Can't wait for spring.
Not sure that last comment went through - love all your photos, especially the queen annes' lace!
Look at all those folks sharing their thoughts. I'm electrified by the shadow next to the ball. It's vibrant in its intensity.

I love how you capture the light
you're magical you know :)
I just love your pictures, especially the yellow roses, no wait the yellow mist, no...the Queen Anne Lace. Thanks for the sunny lift on this damp and dreary Saturday morning.
Sue
I love your take on color themes for posts... great shots, Hilary!
The Back
Good to be reminded that Winter will not last forever. Yellow is such a cheerful colour.
The final photo is a masterpiece. Just brilliant work.
Checking in here at #56 or #292 or some such high number! Heh!
Mellow yellow? I can hear that jingo and probably will all day now! Remember that soda? Coke put it out to compete with Mountain Dew.
I like a lot of these images a lot. The mist is really nice. But I have to vote for Image #1 -- the yellow ball on the snow covered pond. That's my choice.
But if you ask me tomorrow, well...!

Oh how I love that little yellow leaf clinging to the bigger green leaf.
So happy to find these two new (to me) posts. At the risk of being repetitious, you really do take marvelous photographs. The close-up of the rose and the Queen Anne's lace especially here.
Though Mellow Yellow is an apt title for the post, I never did care for the song. It always smacked of faux-psychedelia to me, like some teenager imagining what an acid trip might be like if he had any and dared. For my own mental soundtrack:
Dandelion The Rolling Stones
Love love love the misty shots. Wow, they lifted my spirits just looking at them.
• Thanks, Kelly. It sure caught my eye. I'm glad you like it. :)
• Cricket, thank you so much for those kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying these posts. I'm quite liking putting them together. I think the Stones song would be a great mental soundtrack. Thanks for that. :)
• IBHH, thank you. I'm so glad that they did. :)
I love how the yellow leaf clung to the green leaf. Very cool. The last photo is my fave. So mysterious looking.
Thanks very kindly, JarieLyn. Much appreciated. :)
