Yellow, the Color of the Season

The theme for focus52 this week is "Yellow" - an easy one for me. 
It seemed everywhere I looked, yellow was popping up and saying "Look at me!"






And then it hit me - this sign is yellow, too.



It was a gift from my son's girlfriend. 
Every time I see it, I think of Frankie.
Sure, it makes me sad. I miss my Frankie bird.
But it also makes me smile.
He was a funny little guy.

Is it just wishful thinking that I hope another one wanders our way some day?
Perhaps.
But perhaps not. 

After all, Frankie and Ruthie just wandered up and adopted us - why couldn't it happen again?

  4. Maybe you may want to place a facebook icon to your site. I just marked down the site, however I must complete this by hand. Simply my advice.

  6. Thank you all! @Lisa, thanks for hosting the Creative Exchange :)@Anonymous, if you look in the left sidebar, there's a Facebook link (Long Hollow)and there's also one at the bottom of each post. Thanks for taking the time to do it by hand, though.

  7. I couldn't find any yellow for Focus52. It seems that yellow was a March color around here, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. Great sightings for you though!

    BTW...I received a very similar comment from Anonymous a few weeks back and I responded just as you did. What's the deal...they get their kicks from leaving a silly comment like that on blogs?

  8. I do love yellow flowers and your photos are lovely!
    I read your post about Frankie and I can certainly sympathize with you. Our animal friends can certainly find a place within our hearts. You will always have memories of that special little bird.

  10. Thank you! Yes, Frankie is still alive and well in my memory - enough to make me cry if I dwell on it more than a few seconds. I feel really blessed to have the memories, though.
