Bring on the Color

I love this photograph. You can see the natural world through the outer ring of circles and again through the purple around the center. The colors are important, and take your eye around the circle and into the center.

Color describes something you see, but it can also describe feelings, and hopes and dreams.

We're looking forward to seeing what everyone has to offer as they open their color wheel this week:).

Hi Sandy, thanks for visiting my blog and your lovely words left there. I'm amazed by yours. What a colorful picture. When I scrolled down I saw the wooden shoes (klompen, as we call them) and it made me giggle. How fun to see a Dutch item on your blog, guess we have a connection here.
Oh and your opening picture.....aaaarrrgghhhh I wanna be right there next to that camera. Talk soon. X

Holland, Michigan, USA is a favorite destination spot, having a Tulip Festival every spring. It's fabulous. Though nothing compared to your spot of the world, I'm thinking:). Many of my tulip photos are from our outing.

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr

Macro Monday + One

With a little help from my friend (+1=not macro, though taken with my macro lens) Things I Love About Summer (in no particular order, though I see food appears higher on the list than does exercise.) Picnics Fresh fruit Fresh vegetables Celebrations Fireworks Family reunions Quiet, country mornings Showy meadows Gentle rains Thunder storms Family gatherings Children's laughter at dusk The sound of dogs barking Windows open Gently blowing curtains Big puffy clouds Being warm Sandals The smell of fresh cut grass The sound of lawn mowers Sitting on the porch reading Time The colors Flowers GREEN Leaves on the trees Adventures Photo ops Waves on the beach Ice cream Long walks Riding bikes Having church outside at the pavilion Camping Boating Fairs Sunrise and Sunsets The Great Lakes I'm sure this isn't the entire list, but it's a good start. It could also become a "things I'm grateful for" list, as well. We need to take time periodically to reflect on all t

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.
