Color Week Continues - Gorgeous Greens

I aleady know I probably won't be able to continue my "door" theme- within-a-theme, but I think of doors as a point of entry, a beginning- in this case to color exploration. This lovely scene suggests a quiet summer's day; a cozy spot.








I love the color and texture in this photo - the rich green of the leaves against the brick.




Just plain fun, the street fair we attended last weekend gave me this colorful photo. I love taking pictures of interesting people doing interesting things. I'm also getting hooked on graffitti art.

Supposedly a photo of my green front porch, this little caterpillar decided he wanted to be highlighted as well. He may actually reappear on another color day...we will see.


I'm looking forward to browsing everyone's Green sites today, with a cup of green tea at my side. As a predominant color in nature, it should also bring us a soothing day!

Enjoy!

Hmmm - perhaps we need a door day?! Love the graffiti and your little fuzzy friend. (I think I know what day he will reappear!)

Oh how cute is that caterpillar?! He reminds me of Dougal in The Magic Roundabout.

Beautiful shots of green today! I'm loving how everyone interprets the colour so differently and the glimpses into their lives that it gives. Great stuff! :)

Thank you for stopping by. I think this may be what I like best about a themed week, meeting everyone a bit more personally.

A "door day" would be fun, wouldn't it? But it's much more difficult than I originally thought it would be to find something which stands out to my photographic eye. I looked at my own entry today...boring. Time to decorate?!

ps. I think it was hanging in the air yesterday. I had a funny (not in a nice way) day too. It's good to hear I wasn't alone.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. It means a lot to me.

I really like the way you have captured the graffiti. It is powerful and emotive.

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

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.

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...
