colour: yellow

Ah, yellow, colour of sunshine and bright, sunny flowers! 

What can I add to that? Surely it must be a cheery, lifting kind of colour?  

For me, when the sun is shining and the world is bathed in brightness and light, I think of it as yellow and warm and glowing! When the first yellow daffodils peep out in the early days of spring, it's as if the sun has risen again and the world suddenly looks a whole lot brighter! 

(This is becoming a bit of a recurring theme here, isn't it? Truly, I am grateful for all the seasons in the year - they all have their beauty and purpose. I just can't help feeling a little more alive when the sun returns and banishes the greyness!)

 Once again, I trawled around the world, this time looking for some interesting bits about yellow.

Here's some trivia about why Post-it notes were originally yellow.

The meanings of yellow in other cultures is a good read.

A long page about the history of the 'yellow ribbon' - interesting.

And just in case you don't want to spend the time reading those web pages, I've added this little song for you to enjoy..... I've been wanting to try adding a You Tube video here for a while and I'm going to see if I can manage it!



I remember this one from when I was in primary school - I had two older brothers doing their teenage thing and rocking along to the radio in the early 70's.

So, if you have some pics that you would like to show or want to reminisce in your photo 'album' join in the fun and leave a link in Mr Linky so we can all have a peek at your colourful world!
