Yellow comes in all shapes and Sizes

I wanted to get a few more shots of "Yellow" in before the new theme starts tomorrow.  I had a few different ideas starting with this one.  This turtle was at the Aquarium in Charleston.  I've had this thing for turtles (esp. sea turtles) ever since Finding Nemo introduced me to Crush.  Dude he was just too cool.

This grasshopper was happily sunning himself on the bright yellow leaf.  I think is was a coleus of some sort.

Yeah I know, any excuse at all to get another spider shot in there huh.  But her back IS yellow albeit a very pale yellow.

This is one of the many types of Crab Spider.  I had never seen any of these guys until I moved to South Carolina.  There's an abundance of them here.

The fall harvest equals "Fair" time in most parts of the US.  As I write the County Fair is in full swing here.  I'm going on Saturday which will be the last days it's here ... until next year.  I'm not a fan of crowds, but it always makes for a great photo ops and fattening yummies.  Night shots are hard at the fair.  Plenty of bright lights but far too crowded to be able to use a tripod.  Although I liked the composition in this shot, it wasn't sharp enough for me and became "Art"

And this golden shower is one last reminder of summer.  The 4th of July fireworks display down at the local baseball field.

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
