I awoke early on a day I could have slept in. As I walked to the bathroom, the floor was bright despite the predawn hour. I looked out through the window and saw the full moon shining. A pale yellow. I’ll call it cream.
After brushing my teeth and dressing, I poured myself a glass of ice tea and added two lemon slices. I sat and enjoyed sipping my tea as I read the news headlines. This yellow in my drink matches its name. Lemon.
Then, I grabbed my earbuds and iPhone, picked a podcast and headed out for an early morning walk to include a stop at the neighborhood bakery. I found myself continuing to play “I Spy” focusing only on the category of yellow. With my phone camera, I snapped these photos to show many more shades of yellow:
Can you “spy” these colors in the slideshow?
lemonade, honey, blonde, egg shell, parmesan, butter,
shortbread, daffodil, canary, pineapple, marigold, peach
What’s your favorite shade of yellow?
NOTE: I referred to THIS blog post to pick the right color words for my slice.

I love your yellow I Spy! I miss daffodils- to me they are the epitome of spring, so optimistic! When I went to the bathroom last night I saw the brightness of the moon reflecting and knew it must have been full or nearly so.

So glad I could “bring” you some daffodils today! Also glad to be reminded that we all see the same moon. Makes you not seem so far away.

What a lovely way to start the day! All the different shades of yellow–and the way you are intentional about noticing them–feel like a metaphor for a positive mindset.

Thanks for sharing my slice felt like a metaphor for a positive mindset. Springtime naturally lifts my spirits and keeps me optimistic! Not sure I realized this was coming through as sliced today! Love getting comments for this reason!

I have been waiting five days for the daffodils to bravely open. They have resisted. TOO darned cold!
Love your focus on yellow. It’s been so long, I can’t remember the color of the sun!

I love this idea of going out in the world and focusing on a particular color. I also love that you tried to specify different shades of yellow and this post is warmer for it! I’ll have to save this idea for the future I think, I really enjoyed what you did here.

Who knew there were that many shades of yellow? I love the purple and yellow flowers. So vibrant, so SPRING. Our flowers here haven’t opened yet, but they are growing.
Spring is coming here, soon. I hope. Thanks for sharing the pictures – I needed to see them today!

Thank you so much for sharing this Slice! When I take my walk this afternoon, I will also looking for that particular color that “pops” my attention. Thanks so much for giving me a focal point for my own zen, my own release. I wish you a great day!

I love color but have never considered spending a day or part of a day, noticing one color. Except it’s not one color at all, as you show us- one color is many. I love the names for your yellows throughout and at the end, and thanks for leading us to the blog post that provided some of your color words. I was envious I hadn’t done that! BTW, do you know the picture book “The Colors of Us”?

Yellow is a powerful color. I remember learning that yellow captures our attention more than other colors. I also learned that the deer didn’t eat my daffodils because they don’t like yellow. Unfortunately, they ate all the green parts of my tulips.

Yellow (along with pink) signifies Spring for me. From the cream moon to your yellow-ful walk, I was playing I Spy with you. Loved the golden thread that tied this slice together. Well done!
