Life in Colour: Seaside Blues

Jude’s July challenge on her blog Travel Words: Life in Colour is the color blue. This week she challenges us to post seaside blues.

Two views of our cruise ship at the first stop of our Panama Canal cruise, at Half Moon Cay, Bahamas.

So many different blues in this shot! The blue sky, the different hues of the Caribbean between the beach and the ship
True blue Caribbean Sea!

Life in Colour: Blues

Jude’s Travel Words blog’s topic for Life in Colour this month is the color blue. Jude challenges us to find “unusual” blues! OK, I’ll do my best…

Life in Colour: More White & Silver

I’m joining in this challenge again, to contribute white buildings, and more, in Chicago!

View of white skyscrapers from Millennium Park:

And silver in Millennium Park – “Cloud Gate” sculpture (known by locals as “the Bean”)

This silver structure in Millennium Park…

…projects faces. There are actually two of these, with a shallow wading area in between them (the wading pool is only filled in warm weather – these photos were taken in October.).

A few more whites in Lincoln Park

Life in Color: White & Silver

Jude at Travel Words’ challenge Life in Color changes colors each month. For June, it is white and silver!

LARGE white & silver – snow scene & giant winery canisters

MEDIUM: white vs silver trees

MEDIUM SMALL: white angel on child’s grave & silver headlight

SMALL: February silver (ice circles) vs April white (snowdrop flowers)

BOTH in one photo!

Life in Purple

For Jude’s Travel Words, Life in Colour, this month’s word is the color purple.

Purple hyacinths

A more vibrant shade of purple are these rhododendrons.

Architectural Pink

Jude’s Travel Words blog’s Life in Colour challenge this month is the color pink, and this week’s focus is on pink architecture.

I found a lot of pink buildings (and other colors) in Germany, when we were on a river cruise. These three are in Bamberg.

More in Nuremburg

Here’s a lovely balcony in Regensburg.

These are in Passau.

And finally, much closer to home, is a pink painted shop in Highwood, Illinois.

Here’s the doorway:
