For Terri’s Sunday Still’s challenge, I am sharing some pictures with yellow items for her yellow theme. You can join in Terri’s Sunday Stills here: https://secondwindleisure.com/2023/08/13/sunday-stills-monthly-color-challenge-are-you-all-in-for-yellow/

Yellow icing – this is a Mad Hatter Cake I made for Terence’s 40th. I don’t have a wonderful photograph as this was before I started taking pictures of my cakes for my blog. The top of the hat is decorated with two fondant animated playing cards who are painting the white roses red. If you look carefully, you will see some of the roses are half red and half white.

Lastly, Colleen has provided one of Terri’s amazing pictures for her Tanka Tuesday Challenge. You can join in Tanka Tuesday here: https://wordcraftpoetry.com/2023/08/15/2023-photo-prompt-template-tankatuesday-weekly-poetry-challenge-no-333-8-15-23/

  2. What a lovely post, Robbie. I’m so happy you brought in a few doors. I love the doors to the cottage. That stone wall is impressive. I think I see figures in there, although I doubt that was intended. I love the cake and the sunflowers – you’re so clever and talented. I’ve enjoyed the posts in the yellow theme this week, and yours are as beautiful as any. I hope you have a nice weekend.

  12. Those doors! (Different from any I’ve seen, including the view.) And the yellows! Fascinating color since I literally just chose a yellow flower for my post tomorrow after my month blogging break. Yellow – a spiritual color indeed.

  13. So much fun and goodness in this post, Robbie! Your cottage looks quite comfortable and rustic. Of course your gorgeous fondants are one-of-a-kind–so cute and delicious looking–especially the sunflowers on the chocolate cupcakes! But your beautifully written poem says it all–sunflower salvation indeed!

  25. Thanks for the lovely photos. So you are a cake lady. You also had a gorgeous photo of a tall cake to represent the sixth mass extinction, if I remember correctly, at the beginning of your book. Very impressive. I like your poem too. all lovely, Robbie. xoxo

  35. ‘Salve for broken hearts’- so apt. The door pictures of the game reserve are interesting. I like earthy, rustic and old. Love the daisies on the cupcakes, the sunrise and the other yellow pics.

  41. I have to begin with the sunflower smiles. I needed to smile, and now I am!

    1. Hi Resa, I try to shake up my poetry and not make it all dark. There are marvelous things in life too and those must be celebrated. I do know that song. Thanks for mentioning it and I’m glad you enjoyed the yellow.

  42. Such uplifting and gorgeous photos, Robbie. I love pictures that highlight nature, living in nature and creativity. Your poem about the sunflowers were wonderful. There is a field of sunflowers near me that was planted in remembrance of family members that lost their lives to cancer. Cancer survivors visit and leave poems, thoughts etc. Anyone is welcome to visit and take a flower and make donations to Cancer Research. This poem made me think of my visit there.

      1. I didn’t used to. You see them along the roads and they are just weeds, tiny and not impressive at all, but there are hundreds of varieties that are all gorgeous. Our botanical garden in Woodlake had a sunflower festival every year that was quite impressive.
