Focus on Life Week 17~Colour

Looking for my Bead Soup?? It's HERE!

Sally's prompt for our photo challenge this week made my heart race....my favourite thing!! Here is her instruction:

"Whether photographing a full shot of amazing colours or small pops of colour against a muted background, this week break out your camera and capture some colour."

I am one of those for whom there is no such thing as too much colour...bring it on! The bolder, the bigger, the better!

When I moved to Ontario from the west, one of the first things I noticed here was the colour!! The vibrant greens of a myriad of different trees, the striking black and white of the lone birch in a forest, the burgundies and mustards of the crops, the striking russets and brilliant gold of the maples and the sumac...all against the brilliant blue sky. 

I am fortunate to have the back of the house face West...and when Daylight Savings Time happens, so that I am home at sunset...to be treated to a spectacular show by Mother Nature. Here are a few of my favourites from just this week:










I look forward the the beauty found by the other participants in this challenge!

  4. You really do have a great view of the sunset. I get snippets of it, but the trees always seem to be in the way of the best views. Thanks for sharing that beautiful color with us!

  7. Fantastic, Lori! Having lived most of my life in Colorado, close to the Rockies, sunsets weren't a part of my daily life like what you have. That's really special to be able to see it so close like that! Beautiful colors, every one!

  15. You were able to pick some gorgeous sunsets this week. I guess sunsets are the one thing I never get tired of because each one is amazing and slightly different.
