Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring

I have been doing nothing else than documenting spring past week, so I will continue to do so here also 🙂  Kids playing outside, not having to dress them in three layers, cats running free, nature blooming. All fresh and new!

Detox from the computer

I’ve spent six days at my summer-house, this time was spent with out a PC with me,  as I got a new one yesterday. Actually, it was good to be away from the net, and social media. I spent hours outside, taking photos, spending time with family and relaxing. I also got a new cat a week ago. Tinka is a lovely little kitty,12 weeks old, she is so sociable. I’ve also spent time getting her comfortable in her new home. No is time to get back to business :-). It is a wonder what you can discover from the nature when not in a hurry. Here are few of my discoveries of the wonders of spring and Tinka and Oliver

Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Yellow

I find yellow a challenge to photograph, mostly my yellows are  flowers. These are from my archives,  as yellow is not available in the nature at this time. Here are few OK  shots, in my humble opinion, at least they are yellow.

One Word Photo Challenge: Red

I usually do not remember flower names, but this on is Rock and Roll, the name stood out as slightly different, so it stuck on my mind. This red light below is so beautiful so I posted that also…as a sidekick.

Now finding two colors  was harder than I thought, I was trying very hard to even eliminate the various shades as the are different colors, but that was hopeless.here are my two color photos – how did I do?
