Morning photo: Yellow

Warm and sunny …

Sweet yellow in the cool dark green shadows of a Colorado spruce-fir forest.

SUMMIT COUNTY — For the first time in a few weeks, I managed to put together a short photo essay for the popular #FriFotos Twitter chat, this week themed “yellow.” It wasn’t all that hard to find some decent images. Even scrolling through my archives at high speed, shots with a splotch of the bright color easily caught my eye. Many of my shots are wildflower images, not surprising given the wealth of flora here in the Colorado high country. But I was also able to dig out a few other fun shots that show a spot of yellow can really make an image. Find your own yellow-themed pics and join in the fun by posting them to Twitter with the #FriFotos hashtag.

OK, so this tiny house in Brignoles, France, verges on orange but I still love the contrast against the gray walls of the adjacent buildings, and the tiny details. Originally, I called this image "Broken chair." Don't sit down!

All-American muscle.

One of my favorite shots in any color show how close yellow and green are on the color scale.

My eye was automatically drawn to the yellow boat in the harbor of Piran, Slovenia.

Wow, a yellow Fiat 500 brings back some awesome travel memories of almond orchards on Mt. Etna in Sicily. Click on the image to read about it.

The last slanting rays of the summer sun make the yellow even warmer.

This yellow wildflower couldn't wait for the ice to melt, so it grew straight through the crusty layer of old snow.

Yellow roses growing at an interstate rest stop in Colorado are a reminder of how early settlers tried to tame the land by planting flowers from their home countries.

Dappled yellow.

Mmmmm, frangipani, the flower of the lei.
