team up thursday - second week

Second week Marcelle and I are working on our new challenge "team up thursday". When I said last week I was a little nervous about my first pic I have to say this week I was a little nervous again. I think I have to learn not to give myself that pressure regarding "doing the perfect shot" - "having a special idea". I know the thought behind is just having fun and showing your pics and how and what do you see by the chosen theme.

This week our theme is yellow - chosen by my team up partner and friend Marchelle:
Yellow is the color of the sun and yellow gives us light, serenity and enjoyment.
First photo is mine - the photo underneath is Marcelle's


Wow - I thought "yellow" and immediately looked around what I can find in yellow - some post.its, some color pens... then I thought I should look outside to the nature or whatever yellow I can find outside. And my fist idea was the german letter boxes. Did some photos but honestly I didn't like them because the yellow was dirty or bleached out - not that yellow I wanted. Then by drving to the golf course last week I saw all these huge fields of rapeseeds - everything is yellow here. It looks sooo nice and I though: yes - thats it....

When I talked to Marcelle on Monday she told me that she will send her pic to me now as she was expected to stay in hospital from wednesday on and I can can put her pic on my blog - we talked on the phone and then her pic arrived - I opened it and  - wow - we both had the same idea.... LOL. 

I love the comprehensiveness Marcelles photo mediates - so not just one single blossom - a huge field of blossoms. I feel the requireness to run into this field and outstretch my arms to capture the whole scenery. Very well done Marcelle.

So I had to go out and do another "yellow shot" but I had something in my head - dandelion. I took my pic and sent it to Marcelle so that she can "prepare" it for her blog and when she opened my pic she told me that this was also on her mind - great minds think alike.

I really love being part of the team up thursday and even its my/our second week I find myself watching a lot of things with different eyes - I think the idea behind also opens your mind and creativity.

Take a look what theme and photos "our colleagues" have chosen - for example Berta; Corey; Megan or Melody
