What could be happier on a dreary winter's day (it snowed again last night) than a little shot of yellow? And polka dots, too! The folks at Shop-Rite (bless their hearts) had tulips on sale this week. And after the week I had, and the week before that, too -- two bunches of bright and cheerful yellow tulips were just the ticket!
I'm not an expert on color theory, but I have to think that the power of yellow is very real. Just having these beauties in the house has cheered me up immensely. And wow, did I ever need some cheering!

ReplyDeleteYour photography is breathtaking!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! I needed a little cheering up tonight, too ... and your yellow tulips are therapeutic! I'm sooooo looking forward to having tulips in the garden again.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The midwest is to get 12-18 inches of snow this week plus ice. The yellow flowers helped me forget about it for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI love tulips and I love Shop-Rite :) Your cheery, yellow photos are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI hope this week is better for you, Mary. I have a vintage cross-stitch in my office that says "Each dawn is a new beginning." I like that. And I like your cheerful yellow tulips. Thanks for sharing your inspiring photos. They're just great.
ReplyDeleteBest to you,
Lynn at Cottage and Creek
That's the color and that's the right flower. Color therapy is my theme today too. Blessings

I've had fresh tulips in the house the past couple of weeks and I agree, it really does help the mood. I need to grab some fresh flowers tomorrow...we are going to get hit with a big winter storm late tomorrow night. I have a feeling I'll need a little perking up! Your photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletethis yellow makes me very very happy.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of these beautiful tulips could really brighten our rainy and gloomy day today.
ReplyDeleteStay warm.
Tulips are the cure all in winter. My bouquet of lavender ones are gone, but I can see buying some more soon. Beautiful captures, Mary.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteHappy new week and regards.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to create a mosaic this week, but I did want to come by and see what loveliness you had to share and I'm glad I did. Yep, there is something about yellow that can lift our spirits. Your tulips are beautiful, glad you treated yourself and hope everything is better soon.
ReplyDeleteYour mosaics are just gorgeous. Bright yellow tulips at this time of year is what we all need. Thank you for your awesome photography and sharing it with us.
ReplyDeletepeace n abundance,

Tulips are just the right cheer for these snowy, winter days! I can't wait to see them in the garden. That can't come too soon for me and I'm sure those of you in Connecticut as well!
ReplyDeleteyour photos are fabulous. they are so amazingly beautiful. I love this shade of yellow.
ReplyDeleteThose yellow tulips certainly do bring in a burst of cheer! Lovely photos..
ReplyDeleteI love tulips. These yellow ones are so pretty and delicate. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing prettier than yellow tulips in January. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Your yellow tulips are beautiful. I broke down and bought a bunch of pink ones the other day to brighten our home. I must say though we have been enjoying unseasonably warm weather and I've been wishing for a bit of the cold stuff so I could not feel guilty for wanting to stay inside and craft!
ReplyDeleteI'm a believer in the power of yellow! Those tulips are gorgeous. I have pink ones at the moment, and they are bringing lots of smiles too. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful tulips, bringing with them thoughts of Spring, just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLike the polka dots, too!
Another believer here! I have a few yellow-painted rooms in this house and they always make me feel good. Right now there are daffodils on the kitchen table, but there's nothing like a vase of tulips, is there?
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for florists that force these things! The yellow is just beautiful. Hard to not be cheered up when you look at them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, you brought spring in the home...
ReplyDeleteYour tulips are wonderful- so pretty and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteOh, little yellow flowers...how I love thee ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely tulips for a winter day, and yellow is my favourite colour of flowers.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lovely tulips, Mary. They look like a ray of sunshine, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI love your yellow Tulips. Hope your feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteI have been buying Rose's, Paper whites and Tulips. I purchase more flowers in Jan. and Feb than any other time of year. It's called Snow blues or Cabin Fever. Sure hope you are up and about. Feel better.

Hi Mary, sorry I am late reading your post but I lost my ISP for over 12 hours.
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are very cheerful looking and your photography marvellous to show them. Hope you are better and having success with your photography business that you want to set up?
Yellow flowers are always a sign that Spring is on it's way!! Jackie in Surrey, UK.
Mary, your yellow tulips are truly a bright spot this morning!
ReplyDeleteI adore tulips, they don't stick around long
but they let us know that spring is on it's
way. . .
Sue
Yellow is one of my favorite colors! And yellow flowers are definitely cheerful. My kitchen has an array of sunflower paintings and decorations because of that very reason. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos,colors...!!!
ReplyDeleteKisses.
Beautiful tulips!
ReplyDeleteOh my - snow again?? It only snowed at my house twice this year and not a bit of it stuck! I actually had a real live flower in my garden the other day! A poor little wild pansy, but still I was sure glad to see it.
Ahhhhhhhhhh..........
ReplyDeletedreams of spring.
Here too, except here where i am it is birdsong. The weather has gone all wonky and confused the birds i think. We wake up to mornings warm enough to sit outside (high 40s),and to the song of birds that sound suspiciously like the ones who bless us in the spring.
Then through the day the temp rises, and we have been getting into the high 50s, and twice in the last 2 weeks it has topped at 60. Very strange weather, but no complaints.
Your tulips are gorgeous.
Mary, you always have the most beautiful lighting in your photos. It is something I have come to look forward to when reading your posts. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWendy, thank you so much! I'm honored -- you are such a fabulous photographer -- that you would think so! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your yellow tulips Mary! Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful! I can't wait for my tulips to pop up in the yard this Spring. Such smiley, happy flowers indeed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! Love your milk glass vase, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a rough time as of late. Take care and stay warm!
Oh, Mary ~ so cheered. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the tutorial and link to learn to create a Mosaic! I'm relatively new to Blogland, and though my 9 year old Grandson tutored me as much as he was able in setting up a Blog *great job he did*, I needed to learn even more and the generosity of this community in assisting the Tech Challenged is SO appreciated! Next I'd like to learn the best free photoshop sites to add some textures to a few photos... I'm inspired by all the fab images other Blogs share and Hope to make my site as beautiful and Artistic as possible since I am an Artist.
ReplyDeleteSubmitting my very 1st Mosaic for Mosaic Monday! *whoo hoo*
Dawn... The Bohemian
Just exquisite -- I can almost smell them! Thank you for the cheerful yellow; a lot of us are getting hit hard with winter weather and need a momentary escape... Such a wonderful montage.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about yellow and that is why it remains my favorite color. If something makes me smile every time I see it, it has to be doing something right. Thank you for sharing your yellow tulips.
ReplyDeleteThose yellow posies are just what we needed to see in the middle of winter!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a bit over two years now Mary, and I never fail be fascinated when I see things through your eyes. It's been a wonderful experience from the very beginning...I LOVE and treasure my book...I dusted today..and carefully placed it back in it's place on my coffee table! Thank you again!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThank you the trip down memory lane. We are from New Jersey (Hackettstown, northwestern part of the state, out by PA) and just the other day we were talking about how much we miss "home" and SHOP RITE. It's a very small world.
Blessings,
Joyce
