sunshine yellow

“Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun.” (pablo picasso)


saturday is the longest day of the year over here on the northern hemisphere and i will spending the weekend solstice celebrating the sun even further north than were i currently sit. the land of the midnight sun where it never really sets on that longest day as early morning dusk settles into the air and stays until the sun rises high again. i love this time of year full of yellow light and yellow flowers and yellow dreams of energy and madness of the very best kind. possiblities seem endless as the energy of the sun leaves wakeful dreams dancing in our hearts. a celebration of the sun, of yellow and music and laughter and love.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!” (jack kerouac)

i will be at north country fair as duke has a gig and i like to get my hippy on and i will be spending some time with my parents as the fair is in the land of my childhood home.

have a wonderful weekend everyone and enjoy the sun!

I really want to know what you’re angry about, but I don’t think I have your email address. Oh well, I hope it doesn’t last. Anger sucks.

Oh Darlene! I am a big, BIG fan of yellow. I loved everything about this post - the stunning photos, the delicious words, the quote, the imagery. You made me feel all yellow inside - thank you.

Oh, I feel so warm now!

OOoohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *watching the photos go by with wide eyes completely transfixed*

I am LOVING the summer days here… being able to work outside, walk to work (though, it’d be nice for that to be a choice instead of a neccessity.. but still, it’s so relaxing!), chat with the neighbors…

Hope you had fun getting in touch with your inner hippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Jana on 24 June 2008 @ 11am

Oh…. my eyes are gasping for air!!

The beauty you have captured around ‘yellow’ is breathtaking.

From one hippy chick to another… “You have been terribly missed my luv”

It is wonderful to be back here in your beautiful ‘home’ once again.
xoxo

I am a summer girl, and the long days of sun and possibilities are definitely my favorites!
