Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You
For this challenge, keep it simple: share a photograph with a prominent color (or assortment of colors) that reveals more about you. It could be a symbolic, meaningful shade; a color that expresses how you currently feel; or a combination of colors that excites you and tells a visual story.
Something warm, something cold – Romantic and old-fashioned , plain and new, that me.
