  • Picture Heaven Challenge #15, “It’s All About Color”

     


    Picture_Heaven challenge #15

    PicHeaven_Ch15_BannerAllAbtColor-s


    I love color and go for upbeat and colorful moods using them.  As getting out for photos in the heat we are having isn’t an option right now, I am posting some of the banner headers I have made and used in the past on my site.  My banners are indicative of my color tastes.


    If I create a graphic it usually involves a lot of color.


    Hd_Stain Glass 2005


    This is a banner I created for my use with Paint Shop Pro.


    Flowers leaves and trees are target when I am out.  I always have my camera with me.


    Hd_PinkPetunia2


    What you see here are Petunias.  These pinks were so gorgeous they took my breath away.  They were in a Wonderful clay pot in Symbolreader‘s yard. 


    Hd_Bloodroot_06-05-2007S


    These Bloodroot leaves are growing in my yard.  Their green leaves look so fresh and cool you might think you could wrap food in your lunch cooler with it.  Notice peppermint on the left.


    Hd_PG_Easter2007-S


    These are a decorator bouquet I saw in Sams???  My memory is failing but the color in the photo isn’t.  Red violets spectacular and if you squint you can see rainbows.


    H_MothersDayTulips_2005


    Mother’s Day Tulips in the softest pinks, limes and white.  My daughter sent them to me.  I probably took a hundred different shots they were so beautiful.


    H_Christmas Poinsettia


    Christmas Poinsettia in Christmas Reds in pots purchased for my Christmas decoration.


    H_Evergreens2005


    Gorgeous shades of green!!! evergreens in my sister’s yard in Columbus, Ohio.


    Bugs, I love to take photos of colorful bugs and snails or ???


    H_Bumble Bee


    Photos of Bumble Bees aren’t easy to get but with that soft yellow color, who could resist?  This photo taken at Lake Isabella park.




     H_Caterpiller 2006


    This caterpillar at the lake moved a bit slower in gold and gray coat.  It’s amazing how fast they really are.


    H_Cicada 2004


    With his wonderful orange eyes and black accents this Cicada tempted my camera eye.  He was one of the millions in Cincinnati for the 17 year locust deluge a few years ago.


    H_GardenSnail Oct 2005


    And this snail was at the side of my porch on a brick.  His golden tones were amazing to see along with all the texture in his body.


    I would love to add more color to this entry but am afraid my page will load as slow as this snail moved.  Unless I come up with something spectacularly more colorful to add, these will fulfill my entry for the “It’s All About Color” Picture Heaven challenge.


    Keep on taking those photos,

  • You have been around xanga as much (if not quite as long) and as much a part of xanga as me.  But I’ve never gotten to know you.  Strange forever is this blogging thing.

  • Just gorgeous!  I like the tulips and the snail. 

    RYC Eloise is my 19 yr old daughter.

  • I am awestruck! Your work is beautiful but you already know that. Thanks for sharing.

  • I love your banners!!!!  Wish I could learn how to do stuff like this.   I love all the variety you have here!  Great job!

  • Wonderful colours, They sure brighten things up dont they, thankyou for joining in on the challenge

  • My favs: the bloodroot (like to have some of that), the bumblebee & cicada (for macro closeness), and the snail (my fav, especially for color usage **)

    Looking at these, I can understand why a photog might ask you if they’re yours are not. You have quite an impressive collection of macro shots. Only we know how hard you work to get them just right Too bad everything will be dormant when you arrive here again.

  •  . . . we’ll have to bring out the snakes.

  • Good job , Becca . You play wonderfully with colors . Colors are life .
    Love

    Love

  • loads of color- very nice!

  • I always enjoy your colorful graphics.  Such fun to look at.  Makes me want to start working in PSP again.  But I spend way too much time here as it is!

  • Gorgeous!! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! RYC: I’ve never had a problem with birds wanting the ribbons – I think it’s because they are afraid of the movement.  I tie them really well, too. And I leave them short enough that they don’t tangle.  I’ll let you know how the gourds go – I’m predicting AMAZING STUFF!!

  • i love those colours. i’m always so envious how you guys have so many pretty flowers readily available in your gardens! i stay in the tropics, and the flowers wilt way too fast. and even that, we don’t get too many varieties.
