Let’s extend the definition of Spring to include a bright day in January, encouraging aconites to show their faces, right through to asphodels in May. Let’s showcase the yellow flowers of spring, brightening our days with a feeling of optimism.
Denzil’s Nature Photo Challenge #11: Yellow
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
A very cheering post as I listen to the rain hitting my skylight. Still, without that we wouldn’t have any spring to enjoy.

Sublime. Much appreciated as I peer through the low cloud in which we are currently entombed.

I’m going to try optimism here. We did a long walk yesterday that began just like that. By lunchtime we were regretting not being in full summer kit.

Thanks Peter. It’s a favourite view, though I could do without the smell.

Described as a sort of dense, honeyed, mustardy, oily, deeply musky scent, it has been suggested as a perfume choice. You wouldn’t go for that then!

These are wonderful Margaret. I’ll admit yellow has never been my favorite color as it makes me look AWFUL, but these are so cheerful and lovely I was able to get over myself and truly enjoy them. Happy Spring!

I think I see a dandelion. They’re some of the prettiest, perkiest, easiest(!) spring flowers.

A super yellow gallery Margaret, particularly like the asphodel, haven’t seen that wild for years, no decades.
