Sunshine on a dreary day

February 6, 2012 by Carolyn Kraft 1 Comment

Sunflower

Today was a dreary day in Los Angeles, but I know I can’t complain. I live where the sun shines all the time…well almost all the time.

That got me thinking…what about everyone living in not so sunny areas. What might cheer them up on a dreary day?

It seems to me the next best thing to sunshine is the color yellow.

Seeing yellow always brightens my day. (Full disclosure: yellow is my favorite color.) But you have to admit, it’s tough to feel down and out around the color yellow, it’s so bright and cheery, it’s contagious!

So in an effort to spread yellow cheer to anyone out there facing a dreary day, here are a couple photos to share a little sunshine.

    Thanks for a good, hard shot of that power color, yellow!
