Sunday Stills: The Color Yellow

This week's Sunday Stills challenge is the color yellow...what a perfect challenge for this time of year! Yellow seems to be everywhere, at least in my neck of the woods!

This is our "small town bell tower". I really love having this feature in our town; during the holidays this is where we light our Christmas tree. But right now, it's all about the daffodil! Our town is big on celebrating the daffodil and is one that takes part in the "daffodil parade" each year.

A buttercup close up! At least, I think this is a buttercup. If my memory serves me right, I seem to remember buttercups being shorter than these flowers were. Hmm...maybe they're just supercharged buttercups, just like everything else up here (i.e.; weeds, weeds, and more weeds...all of the supercharged variety). ;)

In taking some close ups of these pretty flowers, I noticed this little spider guy hanging out.

This guy seems peaceful enough...I actually really like garden spiders. But I can't stand their cousins. I think these petunias are called "Lemon Zest", so I figure that's very fitting for a yellow challenge. I love having petunias on the front porch. The smell is pure heaven. My mom used to put these in our window boxes, so the smell always brings back good memories.


Here are a couple of other little critters...a busy worker honey bee and a cute little bumble bee (or chicken bee as my neighbors call them). Did you all know that bumble bees nest in the ground? I just learned that! No wonder I stepped on so many as a kid!

Last, just to throw in a little variety, we have here my most favorite logo. ;)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day!

P.S. I can't wait 'till next week's challenge!!! Power lines and landscapes! Are you kiddin' me?! I love power line pictures! And I have a mondo set of 'em in very close vacinity! Sweet! Now that I'm so excited, I'll probably choke and have to go back to the archives. ;)
