“Yellow Gerberia”
“Yellow is a very favorable vibration for mental or intellectual activity, as it promotes a clear state of mind. Yellow heightens your awareness and alleviates depression, sadness, or any kind of despondency.”
― Tae Yun Kim
This bright yellow Gerberia daisy is one of hundreds given out this past weekend at a huge wedding ceremony. Our town mayor got married on Saturday in a very large and public ceremony to which the entire town was invited. It was a hot day and he even thought to have water available for the guests as they stood in the bright sunshine, watching the ceremony.
For me, it became another photo subject. Imagine that!
My wife brought it home after viewing the ceremony and it sat on our kitchen table beckoning me. So, I ‘borrowed’ it for a few minutes, made a few quick images and put it back on the table.
The bright yellow colour is what first drew me to it. Then I noticed all the details in the petals, especially as I processed the image. It’s like a yellow cup, surrounded by petals and almost without blemish. Like the quote says, it’s a happy colour.

SweetSunshine
Thank you
Beautiful
Thank you.
I love those shots when the flash “steals” the light and leaves dark. 🙂
Thanks, but I don’t use a flash. It’s natural light be I isolate the flower against a black background controlled with aperture and shutter speed.
Ahh! Tricky! 🙂 I use flash sometimes to make a black background when there isn’t one. 🙂
very nice!
