color week

Sometimes Spring needs a little nudge from us. We whisper "melt melt!" to snow, we encourage the sun to warm up the daffodil bulbs. We crawl out from our own caves rubbing our eyes trying to see the world anew and fresh.

Shake things up this Spring. Give it a jump start!

For fun this week join in Poppytalk's Spring Colours Week 2011! It kicked off yesterday with a green green Monday. Look to the flickr group for inspiration. Check out the Poppytalk blog for lovelies. But most of all have fun and be inspired!

Monday, green. Tuesday, yellow. Wednesday, pink. Thursday, lavender. Friday, white.

Leave your yellow photos in the comments below so we can all encourage Spring to be a bit kinder.

I recently got a macro lens and this shot was taken while I was experimenting with it for the first time. Love the idea of giving Spring a jump start, especially as it's wet and grey here today after a massive thunder and rain storm rolled through.

I love sunflowers! And what better way to summon spring than to encourage the sun:

My cucumber plant bloomed, the other day. I thought it would be perfect for today's yellow! http://www.flickr.com/photos/yarnattacks/5590504507/

Some crocus that are actually blooming in my yard. Hard to believe with no sun...

I love yellow! It is such a happy color. Annie is a yellow lab and ready for spring!

Today's post brought sunflowers and this photo to mind http://www.flickr.com/photos/maggie_gem/4813793842/in/set-72157625715835712

Happy Tuesday!

Oooooo love, love that green car image. That would look so good in my driveway.

I love the idea of posting a color a day - how fun!

For yellow today, here's a shot taken on Earth Day last year of yellow wild flowers, damp with morning dew.

I have been photographing my daffodils every day for almost a month, waiting for those lovely yellow blossoms. They are about to burst open, and seeing the yellow petals really excites me!

Ahhh, YELLOW! My second favorite color (next to red) and one that I've used generously in my home. But in springtime, there's a lot of yellow in our garden as well.

Today is my 55th birthday. My brother and sister-in-law got me these charming mini-daffodils as a gift. Since my thumb is anything but green, I thought I should capture them for all time since I will most likely kill them off in record time.

They seemed to shout out for appllication of a Kim Klassen texture:

Here is my little bit of yellow to brighten up the day. I sure would love to see something this bright in real life today, it is so dull and gray.

I'm so jealous of the gorgeous sunflower photos! (my favourite flower)

We are in Autumn on my side of the pond so my submission has a cute ladybug to help bring you folks into spring.

...there's just something about a classic car that makes me swoon. But! Yellow!

A break in the clouds and I caught the sun kissing a daffodil

My favorite colors right now are yellow with gray and white. Dig the color theme and bring on the warm spring weather!

I just posted a photo of my daughter to my blog that's very springlike and very yellow. It also shows off her adorable little 11-month old pouty face ;)

Yay, pink for Wednesday! I was never a pink person, always claimed to hate the girly pink shades, but as I get older I seem to seek out pink in many of my photo missions? Go figure?
