A Word A Week: Yellow

Published by

Yellow

Looking through my archives tonight has forced me to accept that yellow isn’t one of my favorite colors.  It’s not something I can wear successfully and it looks like it isn’t a color I photograph often.  Actually I’m kind of surprised I don’t have more photos that feature yellow as I do like the warm  sun and happy flowers but for this challenge I am left with this image of an old school bus that has seen better days.  Don’t worry, it doesn’t carry children anymore but it’s found a new life in retirement transporting vegetables to the Edmonds spring and summer farmer’s markets.

    That’s antique. Now I wonder how a bumble bee feels being yellow and stripes?

    I’m also very short on yellow photos, Lisa, probably for the same reason as you. 🙂 Glad the old bus has been given a reprieve from the scrapyard and is doing useful work again.

      Thanks Amy! It was the perfect size to load and haul their crates of produce and canopy for the stand. 🙂

    Nicely done Lisa. I like the desaturation! I never thought to use a school bus ( I have a few photos of those) or indeed a bee as someone else mentioned (I have a few photos of those too!) as for wearing yellow I don’t. It just clashes horribly with my skin tone – though I do recollect having a very bright yellow PVC mac when I was a teenager – it just made me sweat horribly!! Like being wrapped up in cling film!

      Eew, that sweaty memory would be enough to keep me off yellow all by itself!

      Thanks so much Nia. 🙂 Yellow is a funny color and it’s been great to read so many different reactions to it through all the yellow posts this week.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not liking a color, but this picture turned out perfectly.

      Thanks Paula. 🙂 I didn’t get to peek inside but if it is back for the spring market I might just take a look. 🙂

    School bus with a second life. It could have a third if someone parked it somewhere and converted it into a small restaurant.
