Spring has many highlights — warmer days, lush green grass, brilliant blue skies and gorgeous flowers in all shades and colors. But this month we are playing tribute to the beauty of YELLOW. She can be a trickster — sometimes a bit greenish, other times leaning to orange — but always she brings a bit of warmth and glow to our days. So take a few minutes, pass by those vivid pinks, those stunning reds, and seek out a bit of sunshine for your soul.
Share with us the delicious yellows in your world — leave a link in the comments today and brighten up our day. For me, we are still having TONS of spring rain, so I need all the visual sunshine I can get!

Motherhood has brought things full circle, and now she is concentrating on her photography, finding her creative self and expressing the joys in life which she shares on her blog, Life in Eden.

Tiffany | Peanut Blossom - I didn’t realize how tricky yellow can be to capture until I tried getting a daffodil in our front yard. Still struggling with that one, but I loved how this cluster of lemons turned out while preparing our Easter dessert the other week:
