Lately, it seems no one can resist heading for the hills to enjoy the color yellow. And, who could blame them?

Outstanding, Gemma. And I love the deer.
What a trail in the first photo, especially if those deer come and watch! Wonderful!
Beautiful day, wonderful color! What a blessing to catch the deer.
What a gorgeous, golden world you've captured, Diane!! Stunning photos and I love the deer! The flowers and the cactus are beautiful! What a great day! Thanks for sharing it!
Enjoy your week!

Gorgeous pictures of yellow flowers, and the whole scenery, Diane!
Wow, all the yellow flowers are beautiful. Looks like a great day.
i love the combination of yellow brittlebush and saguaro, this time of the year is really great for wildflower blooms. thanks for sharing your inspiring spring pictures, Diane.
Fabulous, love your arrangement. I have such difficulty with these things. my post is here.
Gorgeous photos especially the one with the deer. The desert sure is beautiful right now.
What a pretty sight to behold in real! Love the dainty yellow flower. The colour really brightens up the desert. And the people running as well. The desert suddenly became so lively :-D That's great!
Wow---I can see why so many people are flocking there. I would want to be there also. The yellow Brittlebush is absolutely fabulous. I especially like the picture of the deer and the Brittlebush. That is fabulous!!!!! Thanks, Diane.
Hugs,
Betsy
Diane, I'll be heading to Phoenix tomorrow and hope I'll see some of this yellow for myself! We plan on visiting the Botanic Garden while there. Love the pic with the deer!
pretty, pretty! I love the deer in the saguaros ! cute!
your last comment and photo made me smile!
How interesting that it's related to the sunflower. Lovely yellow blooms.
How pretty this is!! I think many people head for the hills before it gets too hot. This time of year is really wonderful.
Beautiful scenes, Diane.
I think you'll do fine with your Ratibida columnaris - it's a wildflower from your parts!
Mellow yellow... yeah! The deer came to get its picture taken too... sweet.
What a gorgeous yellow series! There are so many different things to see in your post!
Oh yes, it's a real yellow wonderland! Beautiful!!
There's an award waiting for you on my Sunshine Award post :)
Nothing brightens a world like yellow. Fortunately, yellow was the color of the dominate flower in Death Valley.
Great shots of this yellow paradise! Greetings from Luzia.
