So much yellow beauty! and I learned a new English word, Yay :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative. I would never have come up with a word like that. Beautiful photos, too.
ReplyDeleteNeat word. Wow, those carrots are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat word is new to me - but there are a lot of xanthic plants where you live!
ReplyDeleteLove that mum! What a great shot! And I learned a new word too. What a deal!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove to learn new things! It's funny because I used to think of yellow as a boring color. Lately, I've come to love it. I now think of it as bright and sunny!
