7 August 2015 - Yellow

For many years yellow was my favorite color. I think yellow is just plain happy. It makes me happy, that's for certain. I do not wear yellow or paint walls in shades of yellow, but yellow can really wow in so many different ways. Many people associate yellow with optimism and spontaneity, which is a bit odd as it can  also signify cowardice. I'm going with the first two. Also, I can totally get behind the Chinese theory where yellow is the color of happiness and glory. Personally, I would add heroic and cheerful to the list of attributes.

31 July 2015 - Blue

I love color. All colors. Especially strong and/or vivid colors. I was looking at some of my photos recently and noticed how many of them feature single strong colors.  I take photos in many categories. Birds, flowers, skyscapes, architectural details, sculptures, signage--whatever happens to catch my fancy at the moment. What I realized today is how many of the objects I collect in photographs are single colors. 

I am going to post a color a week for six weeks--in addition to anything I might post. And I am going to start with blue. Blue is calm, peaceful and meditative.
