UNTIL NOW!!!
This month he chose "Colorful" for our theme. Unfortunately, I used my phone for every one of them. Fortunately, I have a phone which can take photos.
1. August came in with some mild temperatures and clear skies. Day after day we enjoyed the most beautiful blue. The pop of red from Cuckoo's shirt is a little bonus of colorful.
2. Four years ago we planted sunflowers at the edge of our garden. Every single year new ones grow from the fallen seeds of the previous year. I love looking out my kitchen window to see all of those yellow blooms stretching for the sky.
3. This bright pink ball has been the toy of choice lately. They were actually giggling, even as they fell to the ground. Over and over and over.
4. Despite the storms and our lack of care this summer, the pepper plants have been prolific. The kids prefer the taste of the green ones, so we pick them and freeze them before they change to red.
5. One of the best places to find color is the midway at the state fair. Especially on another perfect weather day.
What are some of the most colorful things you saw during the month of August?
If you have a blog, there's still time for you to link up!
Have a lovely day!
FRIST!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! Especially the sunflower one! I, too, prefer green peppers.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't care what color the peppers are as long as they are cooked.
DeleteSo glad you joined in this month! And with a very fun set of photographs, too. I have to say that I prefer yellow or orange peppers, but that big harvest of green ones looks pretty good to me. I've never had success growing peppers in our veggie garden.
ReplyDeleteMost fave photographs are those where your little guys are having a lot of fun. Oh for the carefree days of childhood...
Me, too! Surprisingly, peppers have been some of the best successes we've had in the garden. We've had more than enough for our family.
DeleteThey were having such a good time that day playing with the ball. The giggles were contagious.
Love the pictures! We had wild sunflowers growing on the empty lot across the street from our house; unfortunately, they cleared the lot just a couple of weeks ago. Wonder what they're going to build..
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBummer that the flower was taken down. Aren't they wonderful to see out the window?
Wonderful pictures I love the sunflower one - oh they all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLots of wonderful colors here. Yes indeed. And August is almost over and then it's fall and a whole bunch of different colors.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ☺
I love bright colors. They catch my eye everywhere I go. I'm going to ignore the statement you made about fall. :)
DeleteThanks!
AW! Those are BEAUTIFUL colors and photos!!! They capture so much... LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you for confirming that red peppers were indeed green peppers which then leads me to the question...are limes actually unripe lemons?!?!? ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am, they are. Who didn't believe you?!?!? As for the limes, I don't think so. Just like Granny Smith aren't unripe Red Delicious. ;)
DeleteWelcome to the group! If this is what you do with a camera phone, I can't wait to see what you do with a "good camera"! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteA lovely set of colourful photos! I love the first shot and I also prefer green peppers :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just want my peppers cooked. I don't care what color they are. :)
Deletelove the midway shot... i just made it and hooked up with the hop! thanks! I had to use phone photos too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGlad you joined in!
Awesome pictures - and I love the idea. I'd love to link - not sure I"ll make it in time, though!
ReplyDeleteI love the midway shot - something really terrific about that!
Thank you! Even if you don't make it in, keep it in mind for next month. September's theme is black and white.
DeleteWhat a great group of colourful photos. I like the sunflower shot in particular. It's an unusual angle. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow... I am totally blown away by these pictures. The colors are wonderful. I think I like the ball one the best. It shows plain old good fun... a picture that represents care free happiness!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Playing with that ball brought out the most giggles they've ever had. So much fun.
DeleteEvery photo is amazing. That blue sky is beautiful. I think I love the sunflower shot the best.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty amazing with phones now, isn't it? The midways are awesome, especially at night. I love setting up my tripod with my real camera and taking some long exposure shots. But you captured some great color. Love the water on the peppers, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you join up with us more often!
These phone cameras have gotten quite good. It makes me happy.
DeleteWe're never at the fair once it gets dark. The kids always have school the next day, and the fair is almost an hour away from home. I bet it's lovely, though.
I'm planning on it!
Gorgeous colors! Those peppers looks luscious!
