On entering the top of a small hill, I found the ground completely covered with tiny, yellow Bird's-Foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), which I thought looked pretty awesome in the soft evening light. Title inspired by an old Donovan song: [link]
In an interview with the June 18, 2011 edition of the NME, Donovan was asked what the song was actually about? He replied: "Quite a few things. Being mellow, laid-back, chilled out. 'They call me Mellow Yellow, I'm the guy who can calm you down.' Lennon and I used to look in the back of newspapers and pull out funny things and they'd end up in songs. So it's about being cool, laid-back, and also the electrical bananas that were appearing on the scene - which were ladies vibrators."
