“There is a sun, a light that for want of another word I can only call yellow, pale sulfur yellow, pale golden citron. How lovely yellow is!”
~ Vincent Van Gogh
Welcome to the Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge for August. Have you guessed the featured color this month? Yellow! All things yellow are welcomed, no specific theme other than sharing images showing any shade of yellow. Have fun!
Let’s begin with some working photos, partially inspired by last week’s Lens-Artists “work-in-progress” challenge. I bet Anne-Christine was super busy, judging by all the links and comments 😉.
Yellow Works
“True chaos comes from the garden of your soul, where the wildflowers grow.”
~ Matt Baker
Golden Florals
This lovely sunflower is featured in Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday this week! I will share my favorite poems from her challenge next week.
While we’re on the subject of flowers, check out these yellow flowers.
“The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.”
~ L. Frank Baum
“No matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere.” ~ Sheryl Crow
While in the Canadian town of Kimberley, British Columbia, two weeks ago, we toured the quaint Cominco Gardens and gawked at all the coneflowers and other beautiful flowers.
Eating Yellow
Seeing all this yellow makes me hungry! We can’t eat our cherry tomatoes and red tomatoes fast enough. I ran some through the food processor and froze them in bags for future sauce or soup.
And not just me, these bees LOVE some sunflower pollen, not to mention the butterflies enjoying some tasty yellow flowers.
“And over it all, the butterflies swarmed, like a million yellow-petalled flowers dancing on swirling winds.” ~ Steven Erikson

Thank you, Shelley! I’m still figuring out where some of our sunnies have come from. WE have three or four giant ones that were not volunteered last year. There a LOT of birds around here and I know two neighbors blocks away that have the domesticated sunflowers in their yards.
For those close-ups and macros, I use my galaxy note 10+ (still) and just get super close. Luck has a lot to do with it as well as decent lighting 🙂

You’re welcome! I have one sunflower growing in the rocks, but it is only about 8″ tall and I suspect was transplanted there by a bird or a mouse. I’d love to get some huge ones growing like yours sometime. I adore how they rotate the flower blossoms towards the sun. Enjoy yours this year, they are stunning.
Oh, yes, I forget that many phones and notebooks have great cameras. My daughter’s Samsung has 6 or 7 different cameras and she can zoom in for macros quite well. Your lucky photos are glorious – I think there’s definitely talent involved 😉😊
