I had been saving these for a special occasion.
What sort of occasion deserves yellow flowers
winding through white fences,
bright against limestone?
I had thought it would be a day of heat, of deep shadows.
Now I realise that it is on days like this:
damp grey and with a chill wind
that I need to see these yellow flowers
opalescent in afternoon sunshine.
They will give me courage
as I turn my face to the autumn.

who always sees the beauty around her.

Thank you. For everything.
As beautiful as yellow irises.
Very lovely; but surely it can't be autumn yet? Not fair, too soon!
Beautiful, very warming for a grey day (like today!)
Thank you for the flowers. They brightened up my day too!
I am certain that you will have a three day rush of summer weather towards the end of September...otherwise those fromthe tropics might not cope!
lovely photos.
Thank you for the Sunshine!
Lovely for me as well; the rain cometh - wait - it has arrived.
Yellow and grey together are very 'in' at the moment!
I have little pockets of colour in my garden, but the need the sun to show them off...
Isn't she wonderful, Mary?
