Photo Hunt: Yellow

I couldn't think of anything yellow -- at first.
Yellow. Is it mellow or is it bright? Sunshine? Flowers?

What about the negatives: yellow jaundice, yellow fever and yellow - or sensational - journalism?

Did you know that the practice of having yellow taxicabs started with John Hertz in Chicago? He began using yellow cars after research showed that yellow is the most recognizable color. That's why many products have at least some yellow. They show up better on grocery shelves, roadsides, etc. Yellow is a marketing tool!

A yellow ducky! Should a rubber duck be any color other than yellow?

Many school children see yellow every day as they get on and off of school buses.

The yellow jessamine is South Carolina's state flower.

Perhaps you've tied a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree. (It's there in the second photo, but harder to see.)

Yellow gives us direction. It means caution, warning, proceed with care. It signifies railroad crossings, dangerous curves, play areas and more.

What about yellow lights? Some call them caution lights. But some say they mean, "Move out of the way. I'm coming through." Lots of people drive like that, don't they?

Yellow marks areas where we might park -- or where we might not.

It marks the lanes at banks and other drive-thru locations.

Yellow makes things like fire hydrants easy to see.

Who knows where the yellow dividing lanes might end?

How about a yellow vehicle? Pale yellow or here-I-am yellow.

What about a yellow house? Sometimes street lights have a yellow glow.

My favorite scented lotion just happens to be yellow. It's called "Forever Amber" by Victoria's Secret.








Sometimes even white wine looks yellow!

Yellow abounds, especially in the spring. I need a whole week to post all of the yellow I found!
