... With yellow the eye rejoices, the heart expands, the spirit is cheered and we immediately feel warmed. ~Johann von Goethe

    I was peeking over a white, latched half fence door, where overhead there was this beautiful trellis filled with gorgeous Yellow Mandevilla hanging down into my view. I was checking on my neighbors' pool area and this was their entrance into a heavenly view. I love yellow and this took my breath away as the sun filtered through the yellow blossoms. It lead into a garden pool area with waterfalls. Awesome to behold, with the use of God's beauty surrounding the sundeck and fencing around the parameter. I have my Real Esate license and have viewed many many gorgeous properties on Sanibel and Captiva Islands and all the beauty still takes my breath away.

      Thanks for the nice comments. Is annyone else having major flickr trouble lately? I can't see my contacts' posts and it'ssooo slow. It is very frustrating and annoying. I have been having terrible trouble for days and days now. Does anybody know what is going on or how to fix it? Maybe it's my Comcast??? Thank you.

      Well I had that last week, so often that I gave up at certain times of the day - I guess like the flu you caught the flickr hiccups bug!!! Fingers crossed, for me its ok this week.
      Love all those interchangeable greens, yellows and the slight hint of a sky in the background - lovely image.
