On this day I didn't use any film simulations.

The camera's JPEG engine always uses a film simulation. If you didn't set one, it'll use whatever was last used.

According to the EXIF:

Picture #1: Astia
Picture #2: EXIF incomplete
Picture #3: EXIF incomplete
Picture #4: EXIF incomplete
Picture #5: Astia

So they probably all were taken with Astia, which will indeed produce yellowish foliage. Most any other film simulation will give less yellow foliage, and Velvia will give extremely green foliage. Personally, I think Velvia's foliage is surreally green, but an awful lot of landscape photographers like it.

The real lesson here is to pay attention to the film simulations if you're a JPEG shooter. They make big differences in the colors of your pictures. You might find this 12-minute video by Dan Bailey interesting:
