Life in Colour

To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.

This month we will be looking for White or Silver. White is technically not a colour, white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. White is the lightest colour and is achromatic (having no hue). White is seen to be pure and clean. A wedding dress, the pure snow, a swan’s feather, fluffy clouds, milk and the Milky Way.

Silver is a precious metal, indicating wealth. “Born with a silver spoon in your mouth”. A cool colour. Sparkling silver water. The light of the moon. It represents feminine energy, pure, emotional and sensitive.

“Life is a train of moods
like a string of beads
and as we pass through them
they prove to be many-coloured lenses
which paint the world
their own hue,
and each shows only
what lies in its focus.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look for the beauty of white or silver around you this month.

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. I could tell you the saga of the white bowket ( 🙂 🙂 ) of flowers we chased around Portugal, Jude, but sufficient to say they arrived yesterday, somewhat worse for wear but sent with love. Have a wonderful summer and I’ll try not to miss any of your gardens.

    1. Oh, dear. From Marie’s family? I’ll have to write about all the Somerset gardens on the flower blog at some point so look out for them as I won’t be able to link them to you. Enjoy your summer too, relax if you can. Are you coming over in the school holidays?

      1. From James and Lauren 🤗💕 I’m at the beach now. Mick has a problem with his foot and can’t limp very far 🤣 Marie’s cremation on Wednesday and we just received news that Mick’s best man’s wife died last night. Can only get better, but make no mistake, I know how lucky I am. Yes, flights are booked so we’ll see what’s happening by then 🤔💕💕 Keeping my eye on you. And Rafa 😂

  3. Funnily enough white just happens to be a favourite colour of mine. So, yes I do have a few images that include white 🙂

      1. Just staying focussed in the problem at the moment. I do enjoy these challenges and blogging as it’s a creative distraction for me.

      2. Good grief, I was obviously half asleep when I wrote my previous comment. Focussing on the positive or moment I meant to write, a bit of a mystery 🙂

        1. Haha… no worries. I guess being positive all the time can be a problem; you need to have a lot of mental strength and I am glad that the challenges in the blog world allow you to take time out occasionally to recharge those batteries.
