Farewell Project Yellow - When the Yellow's Gone

(click to enlarge)
Dandelion Wine

Where has the time gone...it seems to fly so fast
One moment you're having fun, the next its come to pass
Days turn into yesteryear, old friends find their own way
Until the moment you leave...I wish that you would stay...
So here's to you, all our friends, surely we will meet again
Don't stay away too long this time
We'll raise a glass, maybe two
And we'll be thinking of you
Until our paths cross again...maybe next time...
Let's laugh at the memories, and talk all afternoon
Let's remember the moments that leave us all too soon
We'll smile at the pictures still lingering in our minds
When you're reminiscing, then all you need is time...
Tracing faded photographs, a scrapbooks lonely charm
Pressed flowers and dreams we had, our fingerprint on time
The first moment we ever met, when your eyes met mine...
I remember the summers of Dandelion Wine...
Thank You Anna!

Carletta....You are so very welcome! I have had so much fun with my yellow and everyone else's! I have a feeling that people will be noticing yellow ALL THE TIME now! What do you think?

Don't be a stranger and I will see you Sunday!

Carletta,

I love th picture - and the poem!

Funny- I put a poem on tonight, too.( It 'fit' one of the pics I posted!)

(I have a poem blog too- and a lot scattered throughout my main blog.

:) See you in the next Project, I'm sure! :)

That is a great farewell to project yellow. I just perused your blog and enjoyed all the yellow photos -- and the ones that weren't yellow. That cloudy blue sky is gorgeous!

I also enjoyed your header, your bio and your music. That last is a miracle. I am usually annoyed when there is no volume control and other people's music invades my home.

Neat picture and great lyrics to end Project Yellow. I hope that a lot of new friendships have begun with this project.

Carletta: You did it again. A perfect blend of music, words and photo. Goodbye Yellow, I'll miss you.

I think I'm the only one that likes dandelions. I don't want them in my lawn, but I love them in a field :)

Have a beautiful day Carletta!

What a beautiful poem, I am thrilled I got to know you through this project!

Debbie said...

Awww...Anna's right in her comment! I went out to Walgreen's last night and was looking for yellow everywhere! McDonald's arches were first (wink).

Beautiful poem and I was a little sad until I enlarged your picture. God help me here...the details were so vivid I actually BLEW the dandelion!

I need to get out more! But I wouldn't be laughing and smiling as much for sure! I'm not crazy, just having fun!

What a fitting goodbye Carletta both in photo and words. Lovely!

Andrea said...

Love the poem. The picture is so natural looking. Love your blog.

By the way, I came over to visit from PICTURE THIS.

Great photo and post! A terrific farewell to a fun project. I did not join Project Yellow but came across so many fellow bloggers who did that it seemed as if I were involved!

I'm sorry it's over too Carletta! :(

Rebecca said...

You had some amazing Project Yellow photos - I'm sad I didn't see them until now!!

I can't wait to see your PLT's though.

It's not really over, it's just a little pause until something new comes along. And I PROMISE that together we will make that something new just as special! Great photo. Incredibly vivid! Thanks for coming by my blog. I'm having a lot of fun in blog land. I think that these projects connect people who wouldn't normally be connected. AND they teach you to look for, and shoot things in a new and unique way. LOVE IT!
