Caroline over at Burrow House is hosting an impromptu color week. A one week project with no real commitment is right up my alley.
We started on Tuesday and the color of the day was: green.
Have you ever been to New York State in January? There's nothing green here except the pallor of the general population's skin. I gave up before the sun set. I did, however, dream in green. I dreamed that I was standing at the kitchen sink in my childhood home chopping peppers and parsley. I noticed a green ceramic plate on the counter (this plate actually exists in my current home but never did in that one). I suddenly realized that the sun was setting and that I was going to lose the light. I had to find my camera before the perfect 'green shot' disappeared. I can't tell you if I ever captured it or not.

Today's color is: red.
At first I thought I might just link to this photo from my last post. Obviously a cop-out but red nonetheless. On second thought, I was up for a little challenge. If I sat around waiting for color to come to me, it might only happen in my dreams. So I went for a walk. It's sixteen degrees today so it wasn't a long walk, but it felt good. And guess what I found!
Some green.
Thanks for visiting.

I love photo challenges, they get us out and about and noticing things we might not of otherwise.

Beginning grad school this week did nothing good for my desire to join in on color week. I love that fabulous red hydrant. And I have to agree-green in NY is hard to come by.

I love your photos. One day, when the weather is considerably warmer yet not too hot, we should go on a photo excursion.
