Do you remember these flowers? They are the same flowers, and the picture was taken on the same day as the pictures in my "Beauty vs Decay" post from two weeks ago. I took this picture while standing in front of the closed down 1950's era school. The Beautiful old church and cemetery across the street is about a two minute walk from my house."In 1880, a small band of Catholic families met together, searched for pastoral guidance, obtained land and finally built their church on South Sycamore Street, Newtown, dedicating it to St. Andrew."
Sorry about the power lines. :-(For more Mellow Yellow Monday posts click here.

These flowers almost seem to create a beautiful field of gold!
A lovely church, and that sea of flowers just makes the photo.
Nice pic, James. Nothing to be sorry about the power lines. I seem to find them EVERYWHERE! A lot of times, I don't even notice they were there until I review my pics.
Nice picture, James. I'm like Sally, I didn't notice the power lines until you mentioned it.
Lovely pic. I took some of the same flower the other day.Good job
I didn't even notice the power poles until you mentioned it. There is too much beauty in the photo. Excellent :)
You are a very talented photographer. This picture is lovely.
nicely taken James, I like it when the flowers acted as foreground.
Very beautiful scene - Could be a postcard!
Happy MYM!
Lovely picture. The scene has got such beautiful colors.. I agree it's perfect for a postcard.... Amazing!
I love the light in this photo...
The church and golden carpet of flowers are really beautiful...
Wonderful capture !
I thought I recognized the color of the corner of the building before I started reading. :)
This is a really nice shot. The ominous sky makes it most intriging.
Nice shot James!
Creative contrast of colors, beautiful church.
The shadow and light here James is just terrific. What a grand place to be living. Must seem a change from Texas.
At first, i thought it was the church looks yellow and i love it but when i read it, there were beautiful small flowers on it. lol nice photo.
Such a pretty "meadow" of yellow blossoms with a stately church for a background.
James, your photo is incredibly beautiful. I love the composition of the flowers with the wonderful old church in the background, well done. You live in a delightful area.
Thanks for your visits and kind comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Great view!
Hmmm! Blogger ate my comment.
As I said, I love Churches, they have such great Architectural character and diversity. Sadly, many of them are now closing there doors for a variety of reasons. This past Saturday evening, I went to Stratford and had dinner in an old church which has been converted to a restaurant. If you want to see the inside of that go here: http://www.churchrestaurant.com/
Keep up the great work James!
So pretty.
