Life in Colour Photo Challenge 2021

After a long (and strange) year running a weekly photo challenge that didn’t really go as planned (due to no travel at all in 2020) I am going to spend this year looking at colour (which was one of my monthly themes).

Colour affects us all – it can ignite our senses, change our moods, our perceptions, our choices of what to wear or how to decorate our homes and even how we think of places – from the grey, hazy blues of a winter sky to deep cobalt blues of a summer sea; fresh, bright greens in spring or grey-green olive trees and blue-green eucalyptus; a bright red ladybird; freshly fallen snow; an orange butterfly or a pretty pink painted house.

I am not going to be delving into the psychology of colour – there are plenty more qualified people out there who can do that – no this year is all about having FUN. So get out there or look through your archives and choose the photos where a particular colour makes a statement.

Each Sunday I will post one or more photos for the chosen colour of the month. If you want to join me then simply post your colour photos and link to mine in a comment or via a pingback. Together, with the tag colour21 I can easily find your posts in the Reader.

The colour will be changing monthly on the first Sunday of each month so plenty of time to post any time during the month.

I look forward to seeing the colours in your life whether from nature or other sources.

“Colour is the place
where our brain
and the universe meet”

Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  2. Well, I don’t even need to post it! You know what my predominant colour is 🙂 🙂 Healthy and happy blue skies in 2021, Jude!

    1. Oh yes! This sounds fun. I’ll join in. But despite Jo – don’t begin with blue. Skies aren’t that colour at the beginning of the year, but I think we may all be feeling a bit … y’know.

    1. Thanks Pauline, hope you might pop in now and then. Your garden is a rich source of colour. HNY to you and Jack, must be close to midnight over there. 😍

      1. I think I will be tempted… we did go to bed 10pm but then woke again 11-30 and staggered out to watch bleary eyed the fireworks on tv. Caught the tail end of a variety show, glad we hadn’t stayed up to see it all, must be getting old, but fireworks were good and not so long this year with very limited numbers allowed in and only if they had tickets to food venues. Such is changing times, everyone encouraged to watch on tv. HNY to you too Jude

  4. ooh colour, I like this – I was thinking of a colour for my April square, I will have to make sure I don’t clash!!

  5. Definitely like bright blue skies, sky-blue pink skies, and red sunsets. All the glary, glitzy colours that cheer one up at this time, nothing subdued and tasteful! A bit like bling. Luckily where I live, blue skies still manage to make an appearance most days.

    1. You live on the IOW don’t you? Blue skies are definitely better than the ones we get here at this time of year.

  6. You are so right Jude, colour affects us in so many ways. I look so forward to what your eye catches each month.💕
