Away with the colors of Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. Show us what “yellow” means to you.
By This holiday season, we’re throwing you a photo challenge color curveball. Many of us around the world are ensconced in the holiday season. You may be surrounded with blue and silver if you’re celebrating Hanukkah; black, red, and green, if you’re celebrating Kwanzaa; or festooned with reds and greens if Christmas is coming to your house. With this week’s challenge, show us what yellow means to you.

While we love bananas, lemons, and peppers (and you’re more than welcome to show us your yummy, fresh produce), challenge yourself to think beyond fruits and veggies. It could be the pencil you’ve worn down to the nub making holiday to-do lists, the flaxen locks of your child, an eye-catching bit of ribbon, a macro shot of a piece of handed-down amber jewelry, a glass of bubbly champagne, or even a three-photo essay on the way sunlight lands in different areas in your home at different times of the day.
Yellow is my fav color 🙂

Hi Krista, my first two posts came into the grid, the other two so far not. Something fell over :-)? We are on the right track!

@Priceless Joy: I took a look at your post and it seems like the pingback link is malformed. I can see part of the code for it above the image. You can copy and paste this code into your post and update it:

@Yan: your link looks correct. We’re still seeing the odd pingback failure for some blogs and we’re looking into it.

@Chris — can you share the links for the two posts that didn’t appear? Thanks! (Clearly more gremlins lurk in the pingback code.)

The yellow really stands out in your shot and yellow is lovely to view at this time of year when, in my hemisphere, it’s winter. Not sure if pingbacks are working this week, so I’ll include my link here:

Can you go back into your post and click the “Update” button — that should refire the pingback.

Trying to allude to a Swedish film from the 60s… “I Am Curious (Yellow)” and “I Am Curious (Blue)”…the colors refer to the colors on the Swedish flag.
