Mellow Yellow Monday ---- quail bait

MellowYellowMondayBadge Our area is beginning to move from mellow yellows to harvest golds but I still managed to capture a few yellows for this week's Mellow Yellow.

The Old Salt managed to pull into traffic the other day right behind this jeep. I had the camera sitting in my lap (as I usually do when a passenger) and was able to capture the rear view of this yellow vehicle. I don't know which of the two plates I like better.


I took this photo on a recent drive in the country. This field was planted with three crops that provided a stripped effect. The dark green at the bottom is soybean and the brown at the top is corn. The golden stripe in the middle is sunflower. I sure wish I had been there a few weeks earlier when they were all blooming. While sunflowers are usually grown for the seeds, I learned a few days ago that some farmers are planting them to attract quail.



Have a good week everyone. To join in the fun or visit other Mellow Yellow shots visit Drowsey Monkey and her friends here

  5. Two very cool captures, it does pay to keep that camera handy. I enlarged the field to get a better look, I have never seen a planting like that before. Happy MYM!

  6. I love them both! I used to drive a yellow VW bug in the 1960s and am partial to yellow cars even today. Love the field of yellow ... something I don't get to see often where I live.
    Hugs and blessings,

  8. Cool Jeep!
    Interesting about the quail; but I wonder why the farmers want to attract them - to hunt?

  9. That's a great idea to always carry a camera when in the passenger seat...I should start doing that!
