Mellow Yellow Monday



A new meme! It sounds to me like a fun one. Yellow is the color of sunshine! Thank you for creating this one, Drowsy Monkey. I wish you well with the new venture. I'm sure it will be a success. And thanks to the Pagan Sphinx for introducing it to me through her entry.

My first entry is a photo that has appeared in my blog in the past. it is from one of my visits to the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse gardens this past summer.

Mellow yellow - I like it! Good meme. Everything is pretty white around here right now, but maybe I'll find something and post next time. Love your butterfly!!

This does sound like a fun meme and this time of year, we can use some color. This is the perfect picture for Mellow Yellow. And what a nice way to start the week. Lisa

What a BEAUTIFUL garden photo with a butterfly bonus! I've participated too with some local pansies in bloom right now.
Hugs and blessings,

Tarolino said...

Ah what a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a butterfly to enjoy too. If I close my eyes and quickly open them up again I am nearly there... in the middle of summer and can nearly smell the delicate scent of these flowers.
So nice to see a familiar name in this meme too :)

Marla said...

A great photo of some beautiful flowers. I love it! Makes me think spring!

Anil P said...

What a wonderful profusion of flowers. Is the butterfly a 'Plain Tiger'?

bobbie said...

To Anil - The butterfly is a Monarch
- one of thousands that pass through our area on their way to Mexico to over-winter.

Bobbi, That photo is so inviting! It represents a wonderful garden. :-) And the Monarch knew where to go for sustenance before heading south!

I love yellow and it sounds like an intriguing meme. I love your butterfly also and the yellow flowers. Pictures like this make me yearn for summer.

bass said...

This is a very healthy garden and the best is to see a yellow butterfly on it... Thanks for visiting my page.

Linda Murphy said...

Okay, I have "They call me Mellow Yellow" as a soundtrack in my head while I read....the photo is just lovely! This looks like a great meme-perfect for you with your beautiful eye for color!

Lilli & Nevada said...

I love these flowers and a great capture of the butterfly.
I can't wait for spring and summer to come.

pehpot said...

What a lovely garden. Me eyes just got a load of beautiful yellow things today..

pehpot said...

Nice! I love it, next to yellow, I love green. The mellow yellow mark is really nice

Hey Harriet said...

Love your first entry to this meme! I really like the Mellow Yellow Monday idea. It sure beats a Blue Monday!

Totally mellow! Spring fever is alive and well in New England... your beautiful photo has increased the temperature of my spring-fevered brow by several degrees. ~ Deb

Hey Harriet said...

Just had to pop back in here after discovering that there is in fact a meme called Blue Monday. I stumbled upon it this morning and remembered the comment I left here yesterday. I was in no way implying that one meme was better than the other. Silly me! Always putting my foot in my mouth ;)

Tina said...

beautiful, and how great you caught the butterfly on top too

thanks for stopping by my mym :)
