This week Sofia invites us to continue in a relaxing mood, after the wonderful Books theme from last week. However, she wants us to focus on a different mellowness: a sense of softness, in tones or shapes, the slowness of a summer holiday, for example. That kind of relaxation. Please go to her beautiful site and find some very inviting and glorious inspiration!

Mellow is not a common word in my vocabulary, but my immediate thoughts went to Mellow Yellow – which I save to the end of my post.
I’ll start with a plant that softly spoke to me saying: touch me…
As Sofia pointed out, light is strongly connected to this feeling. Some morning light on the first spring anemonies.


Soft evening light when I walked out of the car and up to our house. The magnolia was the softest of soft and I just had to pick up my camera.
My favourite colour is green (as you know who follow me). Again a spring morning, with a fly and attached bouquet.


Yesterday I came back from a hiking vacation to Madeira – talking about mellow – every day was a wonder.
I love the little lizards basking on the sun warm stones – when I click my tongue they listen and sometimes even come up to me.


Mellow can also be so soft that the picture is somewhat blurred.
Lastly…

– some misty, Mellow Madeira Yellow! The mist softened the intense yellow and made the landscape dreamy.

And a close-up. Temptingly soft.
Remember to tag Lens-Artists and to link back to Sofia’s post when you join us. We’re looking forward to seeing your concepts of mellow.
Last week we had Ritva’s Books Challenge, and as books open our minds, the responses were varied and beautiful, truly inspiring.
Next week, Saturday 14th June, Beth is hosting for the first time so please visit her site for more information. Until then, take care and try some relaxing.
