Color My World…

“Color is a language by itself.” ~ Ernst Haas

My husband and I have always loved the group Chicago. As I was taking this image, the song…”Color my World” started to resound in my head. I have always been a romantic at heart♥ Now to show my age…I can remember slow dancing to this at the school dances and prom…sigh. Does this song bring back any memories to you?

COLOR MY WORLD (Chicago)

As time goes on I realize
Just what you mean to me
And now, now that you’re near
Promise your love
That I’ve waited to share
And dreams of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you…

Tip Of the Day For Photographers/Bloggers:

Photographers look for color combinations that resound with YOU! Not what might be the trend or what the color wheel states, but what gets your heart beating just a little faster. When I saw these colors together with the glass bottles, I just let out a big sigh! I stopped what I was doing immediately, picked up the camera and starting shooting away. This color combination spoke very strongly to me. Don’t they just look like a bold courageous group?

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.” ~ Georgia O’Keeffe

I actually went to a Chicago concert back in the day with a bunch of friends. Totally loved them. I enjoyed your photo and the Georgia O’keeffe quote too. She was amazing and in my own little way, I feel those words when I’m in my craft.
