With the changing of the seasons comes the alluring introduction of new colours in Nature.
And so does the invitation to knitting from heavy wools to light delicate cottons.
I am spellbound by the use of soft butter yellow and country blue, both of which come in many shades.
The clarity of the sky, a carpet of woodland violets, the deep colour of indigo...
old butter crocks and bowls, a delicate magnolia tree...
each one enticing creativity throughout the months of Spring...

I knew I'd love the post when I read the title. I love colour, and one of my favorite combinations is clear blue and yellow.
Isn't it wonderful to welcome spring - all the possibilities in the garden and in life!
Lovely, lovely pictures of Spring flowers. So appealing! I too love those colours together. Maybe it is because of the Nature affinity. Enjoy your weekend! Ros
Oh my...your pictures are gorgeous. Two of my fave colors in the whole wide world!

Beautiful! I just took photos of my spring as well for my blog. I love the variety of color and shape. Always seem to be something new every day.
Blue and yellow are a wonderful combination, always a sign of spring and so perfect in nature.
I love the pattern and colour of the crockery and the little artwork is charming.
Hope you are enjoying a spring-like weekend there.

Hi Susan...all well in the Land Down Under with Autumn settling in...cool evenings and mornings but still beautiful sunny days, which makes me think of your words...butter yellow and country blue...a beautiful description of our days now...Enjoy your Spring, Dzintra♥x
I love the painting by Kim Jacobs (actually I love all of KJ's paintings, and collect her calendars)... and back a number of years ago when country blue was in vogue my house was decorated in just these colors. Maybe it will come back in again soon? I was going to list my favorites images from this post right here... but can't! I love them all! (: xxxVicki
this post reminds me of my flowers...my only bloomers right now are yellow and blue...with a smattering of pink {of course}...lovey photos Susan!!!
As you mentioned in your last post...Mother Nature has a generous paint box! And each season has its own palette...have fun with your new colors!
Lovely pictures of spring.
Blues and yellows are just wonderful color combinations - whether it be in nature or in one of my quilts! Just so light and airy.
How lovely:). I love the colors of blue and yellow together!
Blessings,
Kim
Those photos are just beautiful - flowers like that are so encouraging in spring!
