Phoneography Challenge: Nature…yellow

Daffodowndilly

by A.A. Milne

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
“Winter is dead.” 

Although I love much about winter, I, with A.A. Milne and his daffodil, hope that winter is, for this year, dead.  There are signs of spring life, a few more each day: the daffodils barely contained in their wrappers, the green grass poking through the brown, the tender green buds on long, arching branches.  Last weekend in Philadelphia, although we experienced some temperatures that were purely winter, I caught sight of these beautiful yellows, calling to me, “Spring is coming, Don’t despair.”  So I offer them to you with those same words, “Don’t despair.  Spring is on its way.”  (For those of you in the opposite hemisphere, feel free to come back in six months to re-read this post.)  🙂

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

The Phoneography Challenge, offered every Monday morning, is open to anyone taking photos with a non-traditional camera.  On the first Monday of the month, the theme is “Nature.”  We’d love to have you join us.  See the other themes, links to other entries, and read Sally’s wonderful blog at Lens and Pens by Sally.
