Yellowness
July 21, 2008
I want to thank all of the awesome people who have decided to participate in finding some yellow this week with me. I hope you have as much fun as I am having photographing color!
This was one of those blessedly relaxing weekends for me, and it was much needed. We started it out with a bang as we went to see Batman with all of the other super psyched people on Friday night. Have I ever told you how much I love seeing a great movie with a theater full of rapt, pumped people, especially when they clap at the end? Clapping in a packed movie theater when it is totally deserved is one of my favorite things. There was even a little jubilant shout that escaped from someone. It really made me smile.
I found alot of yellow for my yellow week at my good friend Ann’s when she had us over for dinner on Saturday. They made us some stellar wild Alaskan salmon and corn on the cob and strawberry shortcake, and there was a whole lot of laughing and storytelling and it was grand. And they didn’t even seem to mind my picture taking at the table. In some circles I would imagine that might be considered rude. You know, the same circles that don’t abide by elbows on the dinner table. But luckily not with them.
After all of that phenominal food, wine portraits and merriment, we all went to the chateau at Devil’s Lake State Park to see her husband play in the big band and watch people ballroom dance. It felt like we’d gone back in time. We didn’t do any dancing, but it did make me want to take lessons to learn how to do more than foxtrot, which is the only one I know how to do with any semblance of skill.
For more yellow, check out the links below of the people who are participating in yellow week along with me. If I’ve missed you, please do let me know!
My name is Tracy Harris.

*sigh* Do you plan on continuing this progress in photography endlessly, or might there be a chance I could one day catch up and do as well as you ? Watcha think ?

Gorgeous photos Tracey! For some reason I thought you meant next week, I must be in a school holiday fog, but all sorted out now….actually I think I have been in a fog for almost five years. They call it ‘pregnancy brain’ but can that last four years post-partum?
