Mellow Yellow Monday - It's Everywhere !!

MellowYellowMondayBadge

Isn't it funny, how once you become focused on a certain colour, you begin seeing it everywhere. :-)

Like these yellow cars, which were parked near or under something yellow ..


This one I snapped on the way to work, the other morning. It was parked under a yellow tree ..


This one I saw while walking around the lake this morning. It was parked opposite a yellow balloon ..

I was almost beginning to think they were the same car ... however, I don't think it is.. :-)

I now can't see something yellow, without thinking 'Hmmmm, that might make a good subject for MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY :-)

I remember when Mellow Yellow first started, I was thinking there is NO way I'd find enough yellow items to photograph. I've been following along but never participated until now. I'm looking forward to seeing what I find as I'm out and about.

You certainly found your share of yellow - and it's the color my husband wants to paint his Z car.

Susan Cook said...

Awesome pictures. That's cool how the yellow car was near a balloon, then another one near a tree, all yellow. Very neat!

Hi Karen,

I loved your Scotch broom story. I have a couple of posts about these plants on my personal blog, and in the first one, I've proudly planted one in my yard - but that was in Western Colorado, and they don't spread there, either. Actually it was a moonlight Scotch broom - very pale and pretty. Isn't it fun to look for theme colors? I love the yellow car and balloon. Once you start looking for a color, you see it everywhere. I found a piece of yellow tarp or parachute-like-stuff tied up around some power lines to protect them from the weather. I never would have noticed if I hadn't been looking for yellow :)

I know what you mean, I see yellow all over the place now.
I like the balloon!!

I love the one with the yellow balloon. It is as if someone put the balloon there just for you!

Lovely yellow cars, trees and balloons. I agree- funny to see so much of something you proably never would have noticed otherwise. Thanks for checking out my blog- come back again soon.

Nice doupple trouble doupple trouble. Very good catches for MYM! You have a great week! :)

VioletSky said...

I know, I now look for yellow, and am upset if I find something and don't have my camera... one doesn't catch yellow balloons and cars together very often!

aspiritofsimplicity said...

How perfect is the placement of that balloon. Do you think they saw you coming ;)

RA said...

You have spoken from my mind, Karen :)! Great shots. The second is my favorite.

Martha said...

What a coincidence! Cool! :-)

Sharon said...

Great yellow captures. It is funny how you don't notice things that are right in front of your face until something brings your attention to them...like Mellow Yellow Monday:)

kikamz said...

great yellows! i agree, when u are focused at one color, you can instantly spot them anywhere! i almost thought they were the same cars too.

btw, thanks for the comment and for the visit!

Great yellow shots! Definitely bright and sunny. :-)

Maria Berg said...

Like you said once you focus an one color you see it everywhere.

I have been working a few months in New Zealand - as a hut-warden in Tongariro Park (Not sure of the spelling).

I read 4 kivis in the tree, first time I land in NZ and saw kiviburger at Mac Donald I thought the had put the fruit inside... Now i know better.

/Maria Berg, sweden with the yellow tulips in my garden.

How coincidental that yellow car would be right across from a yellow balloon. Cool!

Unknown said...

What a neat yellow entry! I'm lately running dry on yellow pics that aren't flowers. This is cool!

Laughing Orca Ranch said...

Very clever! I like it!

This would also be a good subject for tomorrow's Sunday Stills Challenge...as the subject is YELLOW! hehe!
