Y is for Yachts and Yachting
Yaffle is an old country name for the Green Woodpecker(Picus viridis) Yaffles sometimes visit our garden but it is more common to see Great Spotted Woodpeckers (Dendrocopus major) on our feeders.
Yellow is the colour commonly used in safety clothing.

ReplyDeleteBoating always reminds me of the word yar, from the movie The Philadelphia Story.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watery outdoor photos around the theme of 'Y' today. Your world looks quite a bit colder than mine, but it's lovely ;-)

Kate - thank You! Glad you enjoYed them!
ReplyDeleteRoger - I'm always reminded of the yardarm over which the sun has always set somewhere in the world . . . ;-)
Happily Retired - yes, 'tis a bit chilly here :-)
Sylvia - thank you. I have enjoyed my day looking out at the blanket of white . . .
Terrific selection of yellows. Excellent choices, all!
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about Yaffles! We have them around here, but I have no pictures. A couple came into the garden once, pecking around for ants on the lawn, but I was too slow.
ReplyDeleteNormally we just hear that 'laughing' cry of theirs as we walk over the fields with the dogs.
Sweet little girl in the picture! The hat suits her!
Thank you Tumblewords:-)
ReplyDeleteJay - I looked out of the window one day at work and saw six Yaffles on the grass. That made my day. The little girl is my youngest granddaughter, Eve, and she's as delightful as she looks.
