picture color- day 30 {piecing it all together}

Today is the last day for my Picture Color class. Mosaics were suggested as a fun way to wrap things up.



This month I realized how much I {still} like the color pink.



I took an impromptu trip to the Rose Garden today- a great finish to a color-filled month- and played around with the many colors found there.



And- I saw this amazing purple fence. I loved how the people had mainly greens and a few white flowers behind it, so that the fence really stood out. I decided, though, that if I had a purple fence, I would love to plant red, yellow and orange flowers in front of it...

Well, there was no visible sunrise or sunset but I caught some blue skies poking through.

It's like fireworks *and* sunshine...in Pink and Purple!

picture color- day 27 {going back in time}

Instant pigs.

picture color- day 26 {whimsy}

Eva and I looked for evidence of whimsy everywhere we went today. All over the park she pointed out color to me and each time we decided it was beautiful, but not necessarily whimsical. Finally I noticed the pony riding in her basket on her scooter and I thought- what could be more whimsical?

picture color- day 10 {creating with color}

picture color- day 23 {meaning of color}

Don't be blue. There's more parking on the upper levels.

picture color- day 22 (inspired by...)

We were supposed to take a photo that was inspired by another photographer. I've been really enjoying Chase Jarvis's The Best Camera is the One That's With You and decided to try something out that was similar to a photo in his book. I took a few photos with his quote, "It's not always about creating pictures. It can be about finding ones that already exist," in mind. Which then led to this photo of Eva which is more about this quote, "The moniker 'creative person' makes it sound like I always know where my ideas come from. I don't." I'm really happy with it, particularly because it was a surprise and also because it was one of those decisive moment shots.

Catching the light. It was a good day for it too!

picture color- day 16 {nothing but blue skies} addendum

Favorite blue. I meant to take a photo of these yesterday for nothing but blue skies but didn't. Decided to go ahead and do it today.



{And} favorite blue jeans.
