Colors on our journey

Color is important to me. My walls are painted in a cheery hummingbird blue, balanced by a cornbread yellow. I'm wearing a bright red sweater and red knitted slippers as I sit this morning at my laptop. When I'm asked for my favorite color, pink barely edges out green, yellow or purple. When I was doing a lot of quilting I delighted in walking through fabric stores. Bolts and bolts of color drew me into a heady high. Like this birthday bouquet I received, every vibrant color becomes my favorite for the moment.

On my travels, whether on a local errand or more exotic trip, I keep my camera at my side ready to take home the eye candy I find along the way. Below are some highlights of colors I found on these journeys. I hope you'll spend your day admiring the colors in your life's path.
