Mellow Yellow Monday

The mill at Philipsburg Manor

Some of the leaves were still yellow in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. this week. Thank goodness so I would have a post for Drowsy Monkey this week.

Let's join Drowsy Monkey today for Mellow Yellow Monday.

These white daisies with the yellow centers were still blooming in the St. George's Episcopal/Anglican churchyard in Flushing Queens when I came upon them.

I caught that fly in the shot by pure chance.

*O.E.fleoge, from P.Gmc. *fleugjon (cf. O.S. fleiga, O.N. fluga, M.Du. vlieghe, Ger. Fliege "fly); lit. "the flying (insect)" (cf. O.E. fleogende "flying"), from same source as fly (v.1). Originally "any winged insect" (hence butterfly, etc.); long used by farmers and gardeners for any insect parasite. Slang adj. meaning "clever, alert, wide awake" first recorded 18c., perhaps from the notion of the insect being hard to catch (other theories, however, trace it to fledge or flash); 1990s use may be a revival or a reinvention. Fly on the wall "unseen observer" first recorded 1949. An O.E. word for "curtain" was fleonet "fly-net." Fly-swatter first attested 1917. Flypaper attested from 1851, though the item itself is said to have become commonly available in London in 1848. (*Online Etymology Dictionary)

Isn't it interesting what you can find out when you look up some ordinary thing, a fly in this case.

I found some beautiful flowers this weekend. They are Fall flowers and will soon be gone so I photoed them and decided to post them here for Mellow Yellow Monday.

Go visit Drowsy Monkey. She has a great big list of participants in this Monday meme.

The 20 m.p.h. exit sign was the only YELLOW I could find this week. But I thought the rest of the photo was interesting.  I shot this as we whizzed passed the Brooklyn Bridge on our way to Atlantic Ave, a couple of exits beyond this one. We were on our way to visit my nephew, his wife and their baby, Jarome.

I find it hard to pass up shooting the Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan whenever we pass here.

Whimsical sculptures at the Nassau Museum of Art. It was a rainy, overcast, muggy day so we went to the museum. This museum in Roslyn has a wonderful outdoor sculpture display. I got these shots through the light rain.

We found a lot of yellow at the Atlas Mall in Ridgewood Queens. We enjoyed ourself walking around and having dinner at California Pizza Kitchen which in itself has a yellow theme.
