A big shout out to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields and Friday Fictioneers. An outstanding place for authors to finesse their writing style each week by writing a flash fiction (100 words or less) or short story based on a photo prompt.

The crowd was spellbound.
“It’s not just about the color yellow,” she said pausing for affect. “Although if one thinks about it yellow’s a most exceptional color. After all the sun shines yellow, the moon at its brightest is a rich golden yellow and we mustn’t forget glorious spring daffodils. Yes, yellow a truly fulfilling aspect of color.”
The shining vision of loveliness continued. “You see it’s not only about color in one’s life. It’s about the absence of it and most definitely one color should never be sufficient.”
Then with a mighty sweep of her wings the angel vanished from view.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my words. Have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend to come, rich with colors of every kind!

I love yellow for just this reason.
Me too! Thank you.
Lie without colours would be beyond drab. Thank goodness for angels to remind when forgotten…
Thank you Dale, it would indeed be drab. I agree, yes thank goodness.
Beautiful and inspiring story, Penny 🙂
If angels spoke to us, I suppose they’d remind us of the beauty life has to offer. Lovely, uplifting story.
Hello and thank you for your lovely compliment. I’d like to think they would!
In tune with your nature to see beauty in everything.
Hi Kim, you are too kind and I do thank you for your lovely praise. Very much so!:)
I think this is just what an angel would say… we need all those colors.. and spring bring them back from the absence.
Hi Björn, thank you. We do need all those colors, I agree. Too easy to become monochrome in our lives, although sometimes these limitations can add to creativity … but I wander with my words. Thank you for stopping by and commenting, very much appreciate you!
A mighty sweep of her wings – lovely image.
Hello, Liz. Thank you, kindly!
Dear Penny,
A beautifully unique take on the prompt. What would the world be without color? Everyone knows I love purple 😉 but the daffodil is my favorite flower.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle for your kind words. Purple is a magnificent color (my daughter’s favorite also). I think it suits you well. I’ve always thought there was something childlike about the daffodil, in a wonderful sort of way (if that makes any kind of sense)! Again, my thanks! 🙂
Speaking of sunshine, Penny, you spring to mind!
And you did not mention beautiful ladies in Washington State with golden yellow hair.
You do say the sweetest things. Thank you. Actually the sun is shining here right now, most gloriously, I might add! xx
This is lovely!
Thank you, kindly!
Beautiful write and perspective. 🙂
Hi Susan. Thanks. Hope you’re having an excellent and loving weekend, my friend! :)♡
Yes. ust finished my Friday Fictioneers and then I am off. Yipee!
Have loads of fun, my friend! 🙂
Nice work! A shining vision of loveliness…
Thank you, so very much! 🙂
Have always loved angels — snow angels and the ethereal kind. I do believe in them I’ve often said to friends working through a difficult time, If you turn your head a bit each day, you’ll hear the angels along the way.
Really love this piece!
Hi Lillian. Thank you so much, most especially your loving words about angels. Yes you do hear them along the way!♡
During the last NaNoWriMo I based my novel on colors.
I agree with you. It is always fun to write about colors! 🙂
