Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image.
The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life. Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.
The
rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos
under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Sorry I still
haven't succeeded in working out how to do a blog hop. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
I usually run with a theme.
Charlotte (MotherOwl) has selected New Start Yellow as the colour of the month.
A quick look around our home said we have very little in that colour. A more considered looks says I am wrong (again). There is at least some of that colour about.
A glass bud vase - which looks lovely with a flower in it, and a fridge magnet (one of many) depicting an eastern rosella.
Himself has a mug with an eastern rosella on it too.
Now to the real birds
The aptly named rainbow lorikeets have splashes of yellow on them. Shortly after I took this photo they evicted the pigeons from the feeder. Forcibly.
Some earlier photos of the eastern rosellas who are not around at the moment.
The sulphur crested vandals have a yellow crest.
Over the years we have collected discarded crest feathers.
Finishing up with some more yellow from our fridge.
We obviously do feature yellow, and as I wander round I see more and more of it. I hope you have a bright and colourful week.
Looking around my house I don't see much yellow, especially that vibrant New Start Yellow. However, back in the days when I sewed my own clothes, I made a dress in that same vibrant yellow, and I loved wearing it. I felt like I was made of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteShammickite: One of my favourite tops at the moment is just that colour - and wearing sunshine lifts my mood.
DeleteVery colorful. I love the birds. Have a sweet and color filled week.
ReplyDeletee: Thank you. We love our birds too.
DeleteI looked for yellow around our house and was surprised by the amount of yellow there was. Thanks for making me really look!
ReplyDeleteMarie Smith: It is amazing how little we notice - even in our own homes isn't it?
DeleteRiver Fairchild - I have very little yellow in my house. Considering the winters are so dark and dreary here, maybe I should reconsider my decor and add some splashes.
ReplyDeleteHoping you have a gentle week ahead and sending hugs your way.
River Fairchild: Perhaps you should add some splashes of that sunny colour. A gentle week sounds wonderful. Fingers crossed. Hugs to you.
DeleteThe birds are so pretty! Every once in a while I see a hummingbird around here but that's it for birds other than the grackle, finch, crows, black birds and pigeons.
ReplyDeleteMarie Kirkland: I do enjoy our coloured birds - but also the white and camou coloured ones. I envy your hummingbirds.
DeleteThank you for the wonderful bird photos! In the middle of winter here there isn't much bright yellow to be seen, so your photos really brightened my day. :-)
ReplyDeleteDiane Henders: Even in our 'wimpy' winters there is colour to be seen. For which I am grateful.
DeleteThe eastern rosella is a beautiful and striking bird.
ReplyDeleteAlex J. Cavanaugh: We think so too.
DeleteHi EC - I do hope you're having a lovely week ... oh I wish we had more yellow in that sky up there! But yes I have yellow around ... my 2nd yellow chair ... but mostly African/Persian colours ... rouges and all colours areound. Blogging brings colour into my life when I need the grey lifted. Lots of happy times ahead - cheers and hugs Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary Melton-Butcher: Blogging and bloggers bring colour into my life too. I hope you get some sunshine (literal and metaphoric) into your world soon.
DeleteI've never seen free eastern rosellas. There colouring is so complex.
ReplyDeleteI looked around for yellow here with a mind for a post, but I've even less, much less, than you. The vase is pretty.
Andrew: Fortunately I have never seen caged Eastern Rosellas though I am sure they exist. Given how vivid their colours are I am surprised at how well they disappear in the grass if they have their heads down. I was surprised at how much yellow we had once I really started to look.
DeleteGood morning, EC...Yellow is a bright, happy colour. I don't have a lot of it around here, other than in a couple of paintings, also a bolero along with a black with yellow stripes long "patio" dress (no patio).
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead...take good care. My special cuddles to Batty and Odie. :)
Lee: It is a happy colour isn't it? Something we all need. Battie, Odie and I thank you and hope you have a good week too.
DeleteHas fet que donés una volta per casa i mirar quantes coses grogues hi ha, de vegades no som conscients dels colors que ens envolten. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMolt maques les fotos, m'agraden molt les de les aus.
Aferradetes, Sue.
sa lluna: Thank you. I was a reminder to me that I take the things inside the house for granted. And really need to pay more attention. Take care.
DeleteNow I am going to have to go on a scavenger hunt in my house. Right off the bat I would declare I have no yellow, but I will do a survey room by room.
