The Friday My Town Shoot-Out is a collaboration of blogger photographers from around the world who share images of their towns, according to a weekly theme. Sometimes I get it together enough to play along. Today I managed to remember the theme - yellow! - while walking through Athens, Ohio to meet Dan for a coffee date (it's spring break - no students!!).
It was nice to walk to a quiet uptown; the day was quiet, gray, a little gloomy for being Spring. All the better today's search for yellow. Aha! Atop the courthouse! Justice, frozen in all her goldness.
Some cheerful trim
Dan wanted the girls to see the artwork currently hanging in the coffeeshop he frequents. A good excuse for an afternoon chai and game of Othello, out in the world. More yellow...
Alas, the old and yellowed jukebox doesn't work anymore.
If you'd like to see how others interpreted this theme, have a look!

I wish that juke box had worked! We just got a juke box...and it doesn't work either but we're going to try and fix it.
Happy spring break!
The juke box grabed my memory. And I really liked the photo if the golden justice on the courthouse. It seems to shout the message, "bribes accepted here."
I love the subtle splashes of colour in the shop window! And the golden yellow justice.
That juke box sure bring my good memory back!
An intriguing range of indoor and outdoor yellows! especially love the creative artwork!
you did a super job of covering your town. i really like the window reflections shot. i need to work a little harder and cover the town and not find all my yellow in one place.
Good job of keeping the yellow theme in mind while walking through town!
My forsythias are still little twigs - I can hardly wait till they grow into huge, luxurious banks of yellow like the ones in your photos.
Great photos and my favorite is the second one. Happy weekend!

I really like all of your shots. My favorite is the window dispaly of all the flowers and the barbershop art. I also really like the yellow trim. I like that you posted the jukebox, brings back some fun memories.
I really enjoyed the walk through your town with all the different yellows. Great shot of the forsythia and the muddy daffodil. Hope Spring comes and stays in your town. It definately is here in Texas....thank goodness!
My favorite one is the first one Justice frozen in her goldness.
I love the shot of the jukebox!! brings back so many memories. I have lived a long time......... :-)
