Can You Guess the Subject of this Blog?





YELLOW!!!



I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I love. Conor Oberst







So, this week I entered yet another photo contest. I think I'm hooked. The theme of the contest was yellow. That's it. Yellow. Plain and simple. Yellow. When I first read about the contest I wondered if I actually had any photos that related to the theme of yellow.









Turns out I did!






This first one is a window in an old church in Portugal Cove. The church is now an antique shop (actually more of a junk shop)!





This one I've shown you before. They're tulips standing at attention in my mother's garden. The yellow one seems to be the leader of the pack.












The photo below is a base for a spool or something or other. Can you tell I really don't understand my husband's work very well? Tut. Tut.







And this one I thought was a pretty insightful sentiment.









Love the downtown St. John's character!










And my very talented soccer player, Cody. Who, by the way, is trying out for the All Star soccer team tomorrow. Wish him luck!!










And, Carter the clown. Couldn't you just squat him?


































According to a workshop my hubby attended yesterday, I may have the personality of the colour yellow. What does that mean?



This bright sunshine colour usually surrounds a radiant personality, one that people are naturally attracted to.



* The yellow personality tends to have a playful nature, they have an attractive childlike quality - that is not to say childish - but they seem to have an appealing sense of wonder and enjoyment about them.Usually they have a good and active sense of humor and a bright intellect too.
* You get very excited by projects and ideas but you may have a tendency to take on too many at any one time. The result being you may not always get to finish what you started.
* These people are often very sensitive, sometimes having a very good gut instinct. People are attracted to them yet they often like to have their own space, they may have many acquaintances but not that many people they would count on as friends themselves.
* Yellow personalities can be found in many areas professionally as they can turn their hand to most things.They use their own initiative a lot and have what we would term as good common sense.
* The sort of exercise that appeals to them has to be fun - so cycling or jogging or a team sport they love. As they mature the yellow personality may find themselves drawn to slower exercise like Tai Chi - this appeals to their kinaesthetic and sensitive nature.



All of the personality colours have both positive and negative aspects and attributes just as our personalities do depending on the situation you find yourself in.
Obviously in an ideal world we would all be in balance all of the time but that is hardly realistic or likely. Therefore at any given time, the colours we display and the personalities that come with them may be bright, dark, vibrant or patchy. What colour best describes you today?



And do you have any yellow in your photo collection?
