They call us Mellow Yellow
ABC - Y is for All about yellow facts, fun and trivia.
The yellow house you see reflected is the one you have often seen in my Sulby River images. I'm not really a man made yellow fan but I do like photographing images around the edge of the river here and this house is an anchor to balance many an image. I am however a fan of yellow that occurs in nature, as in Provence. Van Gogh's chair though is my most favourite man made yellow. You really have to see that chair in the flesh to appreciate it. Who'd like some yellow facts then?

I still want to live in a yellow submarine - with more friends next-door. Great photo; contrasted with yesterday's race shots they show your range of sensibilty & skill.

Neat yellow reflections in the water..
Donovan would be proud.
Lovely and informative post.
I like yellow too, though I have never been fond of the yellow press. Oh and the pup is such a sweetie. He likes everybody and once we had lost him in a restaurant, when we found him at last he was sitting in a lady's lap. The lady said:"I keep him!", but my grandchildren didn't like it at all! It's an Australian pup!
Great photo,and I must say,a very good Y-post.
Amazing yellow reflection there! Surely got lots of yellow stuff too! :) -G
I'm just wild about saffron ...
No yellow snow then! Lol! Great colour reflection :)
Its a rainbow around this lake.
Thanks for the 'Yellow' facts and especially for the great picture.
Marley - Never eat Yellow Snow ha ha.
Sorry folks had to swrich links off, some undesirables backlinks spoiling it for us.
A great post and a wonderful picture like always.
The yellow reflections enhance this scene.
I only wear yellow as a safety thing - life jacket and cycle vest.
Too clever Babooshka. A lot of work to present a great post on Y.
Very great Y post : ). Lots of yellow!
Mellow Yellow, bananas. I know what all about that. It doesn't work. Blinding blog mate.
Yellow dog Democrats, I don't know many down here but hey it doesn't matter now does it!!!
Nice one, B.
Nice yellow facts! But I really love the Geese!!

Every one of us is all we need"!!!
WE all live in a Yellow submarine.
"Louis" hasn't been able to stop by recently - something about being busy with an espresso shop -
so he's happy to have a moment to stop by and say 'hi' to his friend on Ramsey....
What a perfectly YELLOW post!
How about Old Yaller?
Did you know yellow is color that the eye sees quickest. That's why all hazard and street signs are yellow.
And don't forget "I wonder where the yellow went....." It is an old toothpaste commercial. LOL
Neat post.
Someone with a yellow streak is also a 'yellow belly'.
Have fun. MB
And..yellow, and orange, used to be my least favorite colors. Then I got older, and now they're my favorite. I can't explain that.
I want a photo of the yellow submarine tomorrow :)
I ditto Chuck...submarine! I like this shot! The reflection of the yellow building, and the yellowish glow of the geese.
Ooooh, the rarely if ever seen YELLOW reflection. (& I'm totally serious.) Terrific once again.
(& I doremember that you are very partial to purple.)
One of my favorite songs from middle school choir was "Yellow bird up high on banana tree..."
un beau reflet jaune, bien trouvé cela rend bien.
a beautiful yellow reflection, though found it makes good.
another superb photograph from your treasure chest!
More yellow! I love that sunshine colour.
Hi
Love your blog. These 4 might be mellow, however as someone who likes feeding ducks, when you get perhaps 100 Canada geese wanting a share too they can be a bit too much.
Don't forget that Donovan took part in the Yellow Submarine recording!
I think you forgot Yellow River, which is also under the geese and where perhaps the Yellow Submarine lurks! Great photo and commentary!!
I think you hit all of the yellows. Nice shot to go with it.
What a great photo.
beautiful yellow reflections! I enjoyed your short dictionary , and what you say about van Gogh 's pictures ("La haute note jaune"in his room at Arles )
Clever.
nice post! very informative and written with humor and wit.
mine is here. hope you can visit too!
happy wednesday!
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye.....yet more Beatles lyrics......Top banana Babooshka. Cracking post again. What I've come to expect on this great site. A brilliant advert for the IOM and of course Ramsey. Keep up the good work.....
Such a fun post, Babooshka! I loved all the interesting facts about the word yellow--I had no idea it first appeared in Beowulf.
Donovan's tune will be going through my head all day:)
Love your yellow imagery, beautiful reflection Babooshka.
Mannanan- I am the walrus - Brilliant song.
This is lovely. Very relaxing. I like the duck with two heads!
Lovely photo, interesting facts - and a touch of dippiness at the end. All in all a perfect post!
Yes Babooshka a brilliant track.Rather Odd lyrics though...
Yellow pages, yellow cab, yellow fever, Yellowstone, yellow jealousy... Even if you are not a fan of yellow, it's obvious that you have to live with it!
A really nice post!
I'd say it's pretty much mostest around here as well. Like the shot. Would have been nice to enlarge.
I love the yellow alongside the vibrant blue (which is presumably a reflection from the sky).
Yellow Baboshka, great yellow facts. Looks like you've made some changes here. Hope all is well.
they call me mellow yellow.
Quite RIGHTLY!
And I love the yellow submarine too!
Very nice photo!
This is a great choice for yellow...the facts are amazing....that took some time!
Love the fun you have with things, Baboosh.
Fun post. Very mellow Yellow! :)
brilliant yellow post.
you know why they call 'em yellow dog Democrats, don't you? They'd vote for a yellow dog before they'd vote Republican. Ask my mom about that one, heh.
I loved this post! It's fun. And the accompanying photo is delicious.
Wonderful, the golden and blue colours fit so well together.
