Bright Yellow

I believe this is in the pea family, just not sure which one. Cedar Canyon has large areas of these blooming right now. Very colorful. The oof bloom on the llc is a bit distracting, but it is what it is. Thanks for all of your comments and critiques.

Richard - Sure looks like a Pea Flower. Very vibrant yellows against the complementary blues :cool:

Nice shot, Richard. The oof flower is a tad distracting but not overly so. If i need to get more dof without making the bg totally distracting I sometimes uses a black velvet card. :wavey:

Wild yellow sweet peas I am pretty sure there is a similar wild flower called meadow vetchling that looks very similar and so can be a little confusing. Lovely shot and beautiful yellow colour against the blue. :wavey:

A very cheerful yellow and an interesting blossom. The leaves certainly look like peavines and they are often more telling than the blooms. Great capture

Richard:
Pretty good documentary image. The yellow certainly pops against the black bg. Not bother by the llc.
