yellow

I found a challenge on Poppytalk and I couldn't resist:
We are going to do an "Autumn Colour Week" this coming week on the blog if anyone wishes to join us! Blog or flickr these colours each day! It'll be fun! Monday::Yellow, Tuesday::Green, Wednesday::Orange, Thursday::Brown, Friday::Red!

Seeing as how there are not many traditional autumn colors here in the desert, I couldn't resist joining in. This sun by OiseauxNoir is symbolic of the only yellow we'll find around here.

While I'm at it I'll share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, "Bright As Yellow" by The Innocence Mission:

And you live life with your arms reached out.
Eye to eye when speaking.
Enter rooms with great joy shouts,
happy to be meeting.
And bright,
bright,
bright, bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.

And I do not want to be a rose.
I do not wish to be pale pink,
but flower scarlet, flower gold.
And have no thorns to distance me,

but be bright,
bright,
bright, bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.

Even if I'm shouting, even if I'm shouting here inside.
Even if I'm shouting, do you see that I'm wanting,
that I want to be so, so
bright,
bright,
bright, bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.
