Color!



In keeping with the Colors of February posting by Life Looms Large, I am posting this photo I took of Gus looking at some beautiful tulips my husband's office sent to cheer us up when we returned home the other day. I love the photo. I like how the backlighting made the whole background just disappear, so there is just Gus and the flowers. I know the photo isn't really out in nature, but our outside natural world is still pretty much just grey. I did see a crocus leaf peeking through the ground yesterday, so maybe this interminable winter will one day end, after all! The tulips give me hope.

Nature produced the tulips - so I think it counts! Most of my pics from San Diego were installed landscaping, and I rationalized the same. Nature still created the plant even if man placed it someplace out of it's natural setting!

Yeah, I guess Gus could be considered to be 'natural,' too. As natural as a cat can be, at any rate!

That is a really cool photo!!! I definitely needed a burst of color after a very gray rainy day today!!

Pets count as nature too! Especially cats...they definitely have wildness!

Thanks for sharing your colors!

Funny reading about your winter when it's so hot here in Australia!

What a great photo! I wondered how you got rid of the background!

String Theory

  Ok, I don’t know anything about string theory, except maybe what I see on The Big Bang. But there is an excellent fiber exhibit right now ...
