A roundup of Nature Photo Challenge #11
The blogging community like their colours! This is the second time we have had a colour as the challenge, and these challenges have attracted the most submissions among all the challenges so far. Pink got 26 and Yellow got 25. Maybe next time we have a colour as photo challenge I need to make it more challenging, like amaranth, coquelicot or smaragdine! (Perhaps not!)
- Brian got us off to a great start with yellow fungi, flowers, a butterfly, and even a yellow bird on a yellow flower.
- Suzanne reminded us that in the southern hemisphere it’s Autumn, with some beautiful mellow yellow images from New Zealand.
- Derrick entered the fray with his local Gorse and Kingcups shining brightly in the sunshine.
- Talking of bright, that’s definitely what Geriatri”X” had in mind.
- Dawn shared a wonderful gallery of yellows, including our first Forsythia and some stunning fields of Mustard and Sunflowers.
- A first for Nature Photo Challenge: an iconic Bollywood song in the middle of a bright yellow field of mustard! Ten out of ten for creativity PR!
- Yellow makes Maria happy, she comments. Her photos certainly made me happy.
- From Canada Audrey shared her yellow garden flowers and some beautiful American Goldfinches.
- In New Zealand, Sonya‘s Gorse is looking good, although as an invasive species perhaps not everyone is so pleased to see it.
- Staying in the southern hemisphere, Carol shared a beautiful and very yellow sunset.
- From Camera Roll we had a Golden Bougainvillea.
- Hammad Rais shared a yellow Dahlia and a yellow Daisy.
- Variety is, I think, Sarah‘s middle name, with yellow flowers, birds, insects, a reptile and an amphibian!
- Toby too had difficulties limiting her selection, but we don’t mind. Thanks for your goldenrod, day lily, arugula blossoms, cucumber blossom, yellow primrose, coreopsis, orchid, and more.
- A reminder from Cee that the autumn/fall season has a lot of beautiful yellows in it too.
- Kathleen Jennette went out into her local desert especially to photograph yellow desert roses. That’s commitment for you!
- The RA Adventurer shot some of the beautiful yellow wild flowers in Oregon.
- More yellow flowers from Sofia, despite yellow not being her fave colour.
- Babsje submitted a white Egret. White? Not yellow? No, totally white … except for its bright yellow bill!
- I never knew that Acacias could be so yellow, but Woolly did.
- If you’re feeling somewhat grey, there’s one place that will definitely bring some colour to your day and cheer you up: Robert and his 25 yellow flowers of Spring.
- For some beautiful sunflowers, including one with petals that look like silky textiles, check out this post from Deb.
- Margaret shared her top ten yellow spring flowers in a gallery that makes one want to go back to the start and look at them again.
- Aletta took us down to South Africa for a peek at some floral and avian yellow beauties. Particularly like your yellow-eyed sorrel and bokmakierie!
- Finally, Philo shared a photo and a message: “A yellow flower is a symbol of friendship, love, and happiness.” I can’t agree more!
So thank you everyone who contributed. I hope I haven’t missed someone. Rap my knuckles if I have and send me the link.

Denzil, you’re a funny guy – where did you get those colour names from? How lovely to see yellows from all around the world.

In Dutch it’s easier to work out because “smaragd” is Dutch for emerald.
