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”~Paul Cézanne
TRAVEL WORDS 
I’m sure I’ll be able to link to this challenge and I look forward to seeing everyone’s contributions. Happy New Year to you, Jude.
That will be lovely Carol. Happy New year to you too, hope all’s good with you.
Everything is well here, no covid and almost normal freedoms within limits. Let’s hope it stays that way because there are outbreaks in the southern states again.
That’s good to know. Fairly hopeless here. We lurch from one crisis to the next.
We see it on the news and worry for everyone we know over there.
Fabulous idea! Even I might be able to cope with that occasionally.
Good idea Jude and endless scope 🙂
I know I said I’d join in last year but I never quite managed it. I did once get so far as to begin a post in response to your colour theme as I really did want to write about wattle trees but it’s still sitting in my Drafts folder. 🙄 But I do love colour and hopefully this year will give me more time to participate. After all, I’ve already got something started for Yellow month! 😀
Love the quote and so true. I will join in at some point Jude and in the meantime will enjoy viewing all the other blog posts on colour.
Thanks Suzanne. Whenever you have time or something catches your eye 😊
I will and linked with you on my last post 😊
These are great, Jude…hope I’ve done it justice https://suejudd.com/2021/01/05/20551/
Oh they are lovely Sue.
Thanks, Jude!
So glad to have run across this post! Lovely.
