I love close-ups of bugs–I appreciate them much more that way (rather then when they come into my house).

I believe I came here a time ago.
I loved the yellow but there’s a deep violet on the left that catches my eyes.
Now I know the project Mellow Yellow.
I confess I decided to Google to see if it was the name of a flower or something I didn’t know. lol
I know the song, of course. “Call me mellow yellow”… Quite right…
I did the whole research… LOL
At Wikipedia they explain everything. Even suggest that perhaps Donovan took it from Ulysses’s James Joyce.
This is to much.
Next week I’ll find the photo.
Thank you for introducing me to this new project.
Love,
Ana
