It has been a few weeks since I have done Ailsa‘s travel theme, but I couldn’t resist this week’s one. Being Yellow and having Yellow Roses kind of fit together just perfectly.

Just to see a yellow flower in all this damp grey weather cheers even the hardiest soul! Thanks
You’re welcome 🙂 Glad to help
awesome… simple and elegant
Thanks Arthur
yup
roses are like the most simple and yet complex of nature’s designs… ever try drawing one?
I have, and it didn’t come out too badly. I think I have it on my blog some where. I’ll try to find it. I am not good at drawing, so I was impressed with that
there is something about the curling petals, the way they curl, that is tricky… boobs are also really hard… to draw, I mean
I know what you mean. I found the drawing that I did. I have not trying drawing boobs. I would get stuck on some pert. Part. I would get stuck on some part
Ha!
Lovely, Al. 🙂
Thanks Celestine 🙂
Gorgeous…particularly that first macro shot Al. I’m having some difficulty opening blogs while out in the boonies. Will be back to visit as soon as I can. 🙂
No worries. I think it is WordPress having a fit as they have changed so much
Needed these photos during our frigid, snowy winter. Like how you changed the backgrounds.
Thanks John. I was going to use gold and silver as well, but couldn’t be bothered with all the changing lol
awesome.

Thanks very much Andro
Absolutely beautiful roses. 😀
Thank you Raewyn 🙂
so beautiful. yellow roses are my fave.
Thank you Sedge 🙂 I might change these to black & white and see how it turns out
I love roses….red preferably….predictably I suppose. You’ve captured these exquisitely!! 🙂
Thank you Christina. I have red roses as well, a velvety feel and colour. Funnily enough, the cheaper flowers were a better quality than the 18 red Valentine roses that the shop was selling. They are not so bruised around the tips
Sigh. I miss colour. The world is white.
Here, the world is wet not white
There is always that.
Sigh. I miss colour. The world is white.
Ooo!! The Yellow Rose is the Texas state flower! And gorgeous! It is also my best friend’s favorite flower and I send her a bouquet every birthday! Love the pictures!
😦
How did I miss this comment? I seem to have missed a couple. Sorry 😦
I used to know the start of that song, but the words fail me now. I think it is a wonderful thing that you do, sending her flowers every birthday 🙂 I bet she loves that
No need to apologize…I knew you over looked it by mistake. I was just teasing 😉
“We’ll play the bango gaily, and we’ll sing the songs of yore,
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore….”
This song is very, VERY controversial in original form. Look it up on Wiki and you will see why. But it is still the song everyone sings! 🙂
I will do, thanks. 🙂 I may have missed some other comments, but that’s because wordpress is screwing up again
Ooooooh – LOVE! 😀
I knew you would. I might just tag you in the Photo of the Week this week 😉
LOL – I’m such a sucker for flowers – Especially ROSES.
{Hugs}
You are? I never knew that 😉
Love the color!!!!!! I think I need those in my house, lol
lol They are a nice colour. I brought these because they were on their sell-by date. I put some in with the red roses I brought as well. I sprayed them with water to give the droplet effect.
They are very very nice and definitely yellow.
Thank you Kim 🙂
They’re gorgeous Al! 🙂 I got the parcel from AG’s office today! Would sign it and send it off tomorrow!! 🙂
Thanks Seyi And thanks for doing it for me
My pleasure: I should thank YOU for everything! 🙂
🙂
[ Smiles ] Splendid!
Thanks Renard
[ Smiles ] You are welcome, Al.
oh wow A. Beautiful Yellow Roses of Texas! 🙂
It’s the only one for me
Oh I love them too! LOL I love that you love them
Looks so lovely…particularly in light of another snowstorm on the way 🙂
I hope you keep warm and keep safe Morgan
🙂 I have a nice fluffy kitty to snuggle with 🙂 LOL
I don’t
😦
I’ve told my teens that when they keep their rooms tidy, we will get kitties. I have a cat already, but he isn’t one for cuddles.
Im so sorry, I was afraid that you had recently suffered the loss of a loved pet and, having said that, I might have brought the rain down again. 😦
I understand that though…some cats just are snugglers!
We did lose a cat a couple of weeks ago. She was one that we got when we moved into a house and the previous occupants left her behind. We had her for six years and she was 10 when we got her. She either had something like a tumour in her brain or dementia. She was eating cat litter, having fits, incontinent, so we had to do what was right for her. Our cat we have left, Gogh, he went in on himself, and a couple of weeks ago, he got a growth in his mouth. I was scared that we were going to lose him too, but it vanished as quickly as it came, but I took him to the vets anyway. Just to make sure.
Oh I do hope he is ok. I cannot imagine how people do not choose to see that animals, too, love and grieve.
He has started playing again and although he still does not have his appetite back, he is getting there. I first saw an animal grieve when we had our dog put to sleep about 8-9 years ago. The cat was devastated. When we got the dog, she had been maltreated by two previous owners. I was married at the time, and every time my (then) wife would raise her voice, the poor dog would wet herself and run and hide. Giving her a path was almost impossible because her first owner kept her locked in the bathroom all the time. So in the summer we would bath her or hose her in the garden. She loved it. Unfortunately, because of the beatings she took, she sustained quite drastic kidney damage. We gave her three glorious years though.
You will be eternally blessed for your love. It breaks my heart to know how cruel and heartless so many people are. I shall never understand it….thank God!!!
I am just making up for past transgressions
How pretty!
Thanks Sophie
very beautiful – and adds to the feel of valentine’s day this week – and actually feels nice because red and pink roses are everywhere – but the friendship feel wight he yellow roses is a nice side of love too! 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I have red ones too, but
Reblogged this on The ObamaCratâ„¢.
Ah, yellow roses. A favorite of mine. 😀 Beautiful.
Glad you like them. A good choice it seems
Splendid! Splendid! Splendid! A royal!
I love yellow roses!
Thank you so much for that, you happy, soul and my eye with these wonderful pictures!
Have a quiet night Alastair! 🙂
Thank you Stefania. I am glad you like them
Gorgeous. Yellow roses are my favorite.
My sister said that when I brought them. Not that they were yours, but they were hers. I don’t think she knows you 😉
