When I saw the topic for this weeks WordPress photo challenge – Yellow. I knew exactly which photos to post. I’ve always loved the color yellow. It’s one of those colors that just makes me smile.
For those of you who have been following my blog, you also know birds make me smile.
I wouldn’t refer to myself as a ‘birder’ but rather someone who just enjoys the beauty of these unique creatures.
But I couldn’t stop with just the birds. I can’t look at Sponge Bob Square Pants without thinking of my children which brings on more smiles. I sure do like the color Yellow!

Great pictures of the birds! Will have to add this to pour destination list.

Oh yes! Just like my sister. She is crazy about the birds and loves this time of year while they all winter in Galveston. These are some amazing shots! Birds are not easy to capture. Lovely! I love all the pops of yellow. You summed it up perfectly. 🙂

We fell in love with Galveston. What a great place to winter. Although now that I’m on Mustang Island I find it equally as enjoyable. ‘Birds are not easy to capture’ – how very true. After a lot of failed attempts, I think I found some good camera settings. Lots more bird photos to come 🙂

Missing those coastal birds, but we are getting some new ones here in Florida..Your photos are just fabulous, keep them coming..I am anxious to get to Big Cypress National Park and Everglades National Park…maybe an airboat ride!!! My only concern is snakes…they seek me out because they know I hate them..they make me want to hurl my cookies!
