Fire rainbows....how could I resist?

The proper, scientific name, circumhorizontal arc, just doesn't carry quite the same ring, does it? :p

Color personality..

GREEN: Because of its association with nature and foliage, green in design can be used almost like a neutral colour: greens never clash with red or pink roses, yellow sunflowers, lilacs or bluebells.


RED: With its aggressive, stimulating and sexy nature, assertive attention and provoking action, the red is impossible to ignore.


ORANGE: Inheriting some of the drama of red, orange is tempered by the friendly humour of yellow. It’s the colour that stimulates the appetite and radiates with warmth and vitality.


PURPLE: It’s perhaps the most enigmatic and complex colour, with the range of meanings – from royal to elegant to spiritual to mysterious. Purple is often favoured by very creative and eccentric people who are not afraid of appearing daring.


BLACK: People see black as the most dramatic, heavy, powerful, classic colour with an up-scale look. Because of its extreme contrast to white, black and white is the quintessential combination of depth and clarity, power and innocence.

Okay...I wear those colors, especially green, red and black, almost exclusively. I am not sure who is laughing louder..me, or the people who know me. :p

Pictures and Words...

Decided to play along over at Meet Me at Mike's, for the Words and Pictures theme-along, since green just happens to be my lodestone. :p

Palm trees are, predictably, a central part of Hawaii living. I was standing under this one, waiting to cross the street, randomly holding a camera in my hand, when I looked up. Loved the graphic lines against the sky, so snapped. :p

Hop on over to Meet Me at Mike's to see all the rest of the Green Party with Mr. Linky! :D

I like red, too...

Not so color blind...

Alis of A Mad Tea Party with Alis took this color test, and scored a perfect. Naturally, I had to give it a try. A perfect score, baby. :p My ego is very boosted right now. lol

Come on, give it a go. I wanna know everyone's results. :D

As a total aside...congratulations to the New Zealand team for winning the World Cup. There are some pretty happy Kiwis around this house. :p

Image swiped from Alis, cause I was too lazy to do the computer hop to the one with Photoshop, to get my own version. :p

Sweet and spice...

That's what the entire park smelled like.










If you look really closely at this last one, you can tell the boy took it. :p

All that was needed to complete was my dd.

Haven't reached bottom yet...
