ablazed with color

May 25, 2011 By Tracey Clark

Color is everywhere! Have you noticed? Have you captured it through your lens? My guess is you have. It’s that time of year after all when the world is waking from the last few months of cool slumber.

In honor of the season and all things colorful, we are giving away 2 complimentary class registrations to Picture Color. Leave a comment here between now and Friday, 5/27 at midnight EST to be entered in a random drawing. And for another chance to win, visit Mortal Muses. Those girls rock! Oh, and the gals at Write.Click.Scrapbook? Yep, they are awesome too and are giving away some Picture Color spots in the next few days so head over there too! See what I mean? Color IS everywhere!

And with that in mind, let us celebrate the coming colors together. Show us blazing, beautiful color today!

    The rain has finally stopped, the sun is shining and spring green is everywhere. I find this color is particularly stunning against a backdrop of earthbrown, as in new shoots coming up in the garden. I would love a spot in this class!

    The color is not as obvious around here this spring as it should be (thanks to a very dry winter, early spring). But hey brown is a color too right?? I would loooovve to be able to do this class and get a little more in tune with the color that is all around me.

  20. SherriS. says

    May 25, 2011 at 6:16 pm

    Last night at sunset I was brought to a hidden haven near my house. It has been there for ages, but I had never seen it. Unbelievable. And unbelievably beautiful. So green. So golden. So pure.

  35. Lola says

    May 25, 2011 at 8:27 pm

    Yes. Color. Even here where it is raining. The color gray seems to sum up our days…not gloomy, just hushed and quiet; readying us for the hum and hustle of summer time.

  36. Gail says

    May 25, 2011 at 8:46 pm

    Photography never ceases to amaze me. This shot illustrates the opportunities we have to capture nature's most subtle and delicate details. I love how photography has taught me to slow down and soak in my environment versus rushing through my day to check off my "to do" list. This photo also reminds me of how much I have yet to learn–yikes! Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration!!
