Yellow Mellow.






flickr

Today something tells me, that I needed to do a yellow post.
First my husband came home with these lovely yellow tulips that look so beautiful in a vase in the kitchen.
It was pouring with rain, so they added a little bit of brightness to a dull day outside.
We decided to go out for a drive and have a coffee and when I saw some more yellow, I got DH
to stop and take a photo.
I spotted this lineup of bright little hire scooters, probably driven by some holidaymakers, sheltering from the rain, in one of the cafes.

Do you ever stop to take photos and then see someone is looking at you and probably wondering why you are taking photos of some scooters!... Oh they are for my blog.

I hope that you are having a great week
Hugs
Carolyn

    What beautiful tulips - one of my favourite flowers! And as for snapping, I've only once been asked not to - by a gentleman in SE Asia who didn't want to be included in a group pic in oder not to lose his soul!

    Hope you're having a great day!

    xxLOL LOLA:)
    PS thanks for all the lovely comments!

    Oh, my dear Carolyn, I wish I new how to bring sun your way. It really gets invasive in here.
    Today, clouds are hiding him, but still no rain. This Summer is very dry here.
    I really love these photos on your post. I never saw a yellow road before : so strange!

    Enjoy your tulips!

    Lots of love,
    Sophie.

    Carolyn! I was reading so intently about your photos...
    The tulips from your husband, then the scooters lined up in front of the cafe and I was waiting to read how you almost bumped right into Angelina Jolie!!! But I guess it's just a flickr pic right? tee hee!
    Hope you enjoyed your Mellow Yellow day and the rain lets up on ya a little bit!!!
    Have a good weekend girlie~

    thank you so much for visiting Catherine and yes, it did make my day to get some flowers.

    Hi Monica,
    Yellow is such a cheeful and bright colour.

    Hi DJ,

    You do not see Angelina in anything but black usually, so I was quite surprised seeing her in a little
    yellow number.

    Hi Nora and Lola,

    That is so funny that the gentlemen did not want you to take his photo.
    When we were in Fiji, some of the people were reluctant to have any photos.

    Hi Sophie,

    Spring is on its way and really a wet day is good for the garden and plants and our water tank.
    I have never ever seen a yellow road either, I prefer tarseal myself.

    Hi Dolores,

    Yes, it would have been fun to see the scooters driving along the yellow road.

    Jodie, no sightings of Angelina on our little Island and yes, it was a flickr photo. teehee.
    I did enjoy my yellow mellow day, thank you.

    Hi Carol.

    thank you for visiting and your sweet words.
    I have no idea where the yellow road is, that was a flickr photo too.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Hi Diane,

    I think that it is fun thinking about all the little things around us that might make an interesting post on our blog. I try and have my camera at the ready, just in case.

    thank you Susan for visiting and I hope that you have a good day too.

    Hugs

    Hi Carolyn,
    Your posts are always beautiful and charming ... this one makes me want to take off down a yellow brick road!

    However ... I'm not sure I can get to one from here. Oh well ... ;)

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Carolyn maybe you took them because I needed to see them.

    I am in a totally shitty mood and yellow is my favourite colour.

    I feel better.

    Gorgeous!!!

    Amazing yellows... so bright and vivid, you took some great photos, girl! I know what you mean about people wondering what we're up to! Next time, we could take a picture of them looking at us with a puzzled face! (Hehehe)... :)

    Happy day and guess what? It's almost the weekend! :)

    HUGS!!!!

    Hi Bill,

    Yes, I thought of the Yellow Brick Road too, when I first saw this photo.
    Thank you for visiting and you have a great weekend.

    Oh dear Renee,
    Glad that my yellow was able to make you feel better. Take care and my thoughts and love are with you my friend.

    Hi icandy,

    Hi Carolyn,
    Love, love, love the yellow photos! I once was taking photos of some ducks but there was an apartment across the street behind them. The people there kept coming out and looking at me as my camera appeared to be pointed at them (not sure they saw the ducks). That was awkward!

    Carolyn,
    I love the color yellow! It's such a cheerful color. The tulips are beautiful. Your husband is a keeper! ;)
    Sometimes I feel unusual capturing pretty shots for my blog around strangers, too. lol, but they're worth the odd looks.

    Hi Kim,

    Yes, they really must wonder sometimes when we have a camera in our hands.

    Thanks Diana,

    I hope that your course is going well and I look forward to hearing about what you got up to.

    Hi Charity,

    Yes, imagine living in the yellow street. I would like to know where it is.

    thank you for visiting, June and yes yellow is always cheery.

    Hi Sharon,

    That would be an awkward moment, if they did not know you were taking photos of the ducks hehe.

    Hi Jessica,

    Yes, a girl does like to get flowers once in a while to make her feel special.
    I think we have all had odd looks from people when out taking photos.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Hi Carolyn,
    Seeing your yellows and thinking about stopping for a scooter photo op~ makes me smile. Don't you think blogging makes one look at life with new eyes?

    Hi Eliza,

    Many thanks for visiting and yes, yellow is such a bright and lovely colour.

    Hi Rosemary,

    How neat that you had a yellow car.
    My very first car was a bright yellow mini, that I loved.

    Hi Constance,

    It really does make you see the world and life through different eyes. I am always looking for a sunset or beautiful scenery to share on my blog. As there is so much beauty around us.

    Thanks for visiting Gloria and you have a great weekend too.

    Hi Suzie,

    I was told by someone at the Supermarket, if you put a little pin prick under the bulb - they will last much longer in a vase. I wonder if anyone has heard this before?
