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.

Roses

It is mid October in Finland, it’s dark, cold and windy this time of the year. Usually the roses do not bloom, but I took photos of these roses in my garden this morning.

Valo / Light

it is getting there – the darkness is about to embrace us for the months to come, so this lights are to soften the harshness of it all.

Yellow roses and leafs

It is a good thing That I took hundreds of rose photos last summer – as I did not have anything yellow to photograph now in macro. Well – yeah – I have a yellow leaf.

Sadunomainen / Fairy- tale

I had to think about this one. Two of the pictures not Macros but  – something fairy-tale like is in them – or movie so I had to include them just for the topic

The main photo is as Macro as can be – it is a very close up of a lichen ( jäkälä) only thing I’ve done is enhanced the colors
