I am restoring a Zephyr class yacht and was wondering about what colour to paint her and decided it would be yellow - I wonder if reading this post of yours was part of the subconscious plot?<br />Anyway I love yellow - it's happy and bright and positive and cheerful and reminds me of the sun and summer.<br />I heard on the concert programme today the announcer (when introducing the next piece of music) say that whenever he hears a Bassoon sonata or concerto he is convinced that the Bassoon is smiling! That's how I feel about yellow - it's a colour that is always smiling. : >)Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-29361363018598745822019-12-11T16:18:29.994+13:002019-12-11T16:18:29.994+13:00I think that's a lovely sentiment Helsie.

Thank you 'other' Robert. And for the kindest sentiment. Coincidentally I thought of Robert Frost today when I could decide which of two paths to drive down. Although one petered out completely, I had just enough room to turn around and go down the other one. Stopped when it got a bit high in the middle for the car, and started walking. 'The road goes ever on and on ...' (Tolkein). Poppy the dog is now fast asleep after all her exercise.

You have reminded me that my iphoto does order by place and date already... and ... oh goodness, it actually has some categories too! For example, I have just discovered that I have 1425 images with flowers in them! Fantastic.

I guess it's about priorities too. At the moment I really should be doing other things than tagging photos by their colour. Like finishing the tiling in the shower room.

Alas I never really got into the habit of systematically tagging my photos into categories, though... Mostly only by dates, and maybe major events. That's okay when it comes to finding photos from travels for example (as I don't travel all that much) - but is beginning to make it very difficult to find my photos of specific places or buildings or artwork etc in my own city... Or, anything yellow! :)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-75449807709322461362019-11-16T05:13:58.843+13:002019-11-16T05:13:58.843+13:00I don't consider tagging those things you tagg...I don't consider tagging those things you tagged as 'yellow' over-organising. If it was the only tag I'd regard it as a bit random and not much use if you were looking for a peony (?) or a seed pod. I love having everything categorised and organised. One day I might actually get around to doing it. However with around 100,000 photos in Lightroom alone (ie digital era) I'm unlikely to be around long enough ever to achieve it.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.com
