Our prompt was Color!
"Whether photographing a full shot of amazing colors or small pops of color against a muted background, this week break out your camera and capture some color. Think about how the colors of the shot effect your mood, feelings, perception of your surroundings! Focus on how the colors impact your decision to take a particular shot. "
I saw the prompt on Saturday with the word color in the header
and I hadn’t even read the email.
I went upstairs to my bedroom, looked out the window and saw this.
There wasn't even a second thought, ran downstairs and grabbed my camera.
How spectacular, laundry drying in the spring breeze.
The University of Maryland's Holi celebration last year. I can
not express the joy I felt taking these.
Partly because it was a spectacular spring
day, partly because of the amazing color, and mostly because
my daughter invited me to come along and take the pictures.
Sally asks us to think about how colors of the shot affect our mood -
pure joy, for both.
The top one is pure simplicity and stunning,
these bottom ones, joy.
Please hop over to Sally's blog to see how others found
color this week.

I LOVE that first shot! Isn't it great when our kids include us in stuff? My son is 14 and it's in random spurts but I grab hold of every opportunity!

Those are such fantastic pictures! I love the laundry - nothing like the smell of fresh air on your clothes!! But those pics of your daughter are precious ... a memory you'll both remember
Stunning color shots! That one of the laundry - amazing that if you hadn't caught it, it wouldn't have existed.

Courtney you found great shots of color this week. I am curious what the girls were using. Chalk? It sure looks like they are having fun.

Serendipity, Courtney! Isn't it fun when that happens? And I LOVE your photos from your daughter's school...what is the celebration all about?
