Photo Hunt - Yellow
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is yellow. This is a gladiolus bloom from last year.
I can't spend much time at the pc at the moment what with my leg being in plaster. I will try to get around to visit as many photohunters as I can.
I hadn't heard about your leg man. Sorry to hear you're laid up, hope you get better soon so you can get some more of these! Wonderful shot. Love the way it's just floating in air there.!
Hope you heal quickly from your surgery. I love the yellow bloom...very pretty! My hunt is up, please do come and visit when you can. My hunt is what a woman in California looks like at 65!
What a gorgeous gladiolus! Great choice for the theme! I hope that you are starting to feel better and that you have lots of interesting things to occupy your time while you are recuperating!
I love the gladiolus Jams. Beautiful yellow flower with so many different shades. I hope your recovery will continue rapidly and that you will soon be well.
Sorry to hear your leg is plastered. Lovely Photo. I have been away for week end so making some late rounds. Best of luck with your leg. I hope you are keeping it raised up so it is not hungover.
So sorry about that cast. We just got through a period of orthopedic problems with my mom. She had her fourth joint replacement in November, and at 81, the recovery is lengthy. We now call her the bionic woman as she has two knees and both hips replaced. She dressed up her walker with a cloth storage apron and you would be amazed at what it holds. Good luck and get well soon.
As for this picture... it is breathtaking. It looks very surreal! I love it! Thanks for visiting.
Beautiful. I wish we have lots of that 'round here. Appreciate your visit a lot knowing you're having trouble with your leg (sorry about the cast). Thanks.
That is a beautiful bloom :-)

I was remiss in not including a photo of my favorite yellow thing on the planet... I have rectified that and "Elvis is now in the building".
