Haiku 200
Low hanging sunshine
New flowers and golden leaves
Winter’s all Yellow
.
The colour of winter in the Cape:
Yellow honeysuckle enticing the Sunbirds’ return; Syringa berries and golden leaves ready to fall; Apple Tree leaves, capturing a sunbeam;
All these make a glorious golden winter time.
post script: Here’s a lovely acoustic clip of Donovan singing his iconic hit “Colours”,ย beginning with the line Yellow is the colour of my true love’s hair.
Loved the yellow theme beginning with that first beautiful photo, the poem and song!!

I don’t know much about photography – I just kept the sun behind me and positioned the camera so the dark trees made a background. ๐

Is your honeysuckle fragrant? We had some in Texas that smelled so sweet. We also had night blooming jasmine that perfumed the air as well. Yellow is not quite the color of our winters. ๐ฅถ

My jasmine has a lovely evening scent but sadly the honeysuckle doesn’t – but still it looks nice! ๐

Was never a fan of Donovan, but loved the clip (better than the original!)
Beautiful honeysuckle.

What a beautiful Haiku to go with the stunning yellow honeysuckle. What a vibrant yellow!! Winters here are just white and dirty gray. Your winter is so colorful. The yellow apple leaf is quite the beauty too!

I always think of yellow as the colour of a smile. I smile. Love the song.
