Maybe it was the gray skies…
It seemed like everywhere I looked I saw gold. Paris is a gilded city.
Some was on the rooftops:
Some was in the monuments:
Bridge des Invalides 
Our Lady of the Pidgeons. 
La Bastille
Some was in the details:
And dino made me laugh:
Golden hour on the Rhone
Just after sunrise on the Rhone River in Avignon, France.
For Wordless Wednesday and Life in Colour.
China red
When I think of China I think of the color red. These are some photos from trips I took there in 2014.
The Chinese love the color red. It symbolizes fire and happiness…along with a lot of other things. This article talks a bit about that: Lucky numbers and colors in Chinese culture.
China red is a classic paint color and Pantone has a Chinese red:
PANTONE 18-1663 TPX Chinese Red
Color Values:
- RGB 190 34 57
- HEX/HTML BE2239
How does this compare to the reds I actually saw in China?
My neighbor’s lily
This is the last photo I took in July. As I looked at it I realized that it has an extraordinary range of red in it: From the rusty red of the pollen through burgundy in its speckles over to magenta in the petals.
I may need to try and do some art with this one.

Purple blooms
Bright pink world
The bright spot of Ginger’s day yesterday was espying a squirrel in the blossoms.
It looked like it had snowed cherry blossoms…hard to believe there are any left in the tree.

Pink petals
