ablazed with color

Color is everywhere! Have you noticed? Have you captured it through your lens? My guess is you have. It's that time of year after all when the world is waking from the last few months of cool slumber.

In honor of the season and all things colorful, we are giving away 2 complimentary class registrations to Picture Color. Leave a comment here between now and Friday, 5/27 at midnight EST to be entered in a random drawing. And for another chance to win, visit Mortal Muses. Those girls rock! Oh, and the gals at Write.Click.Scrapbook? Yep, they are awesome too and are giving away some Picture Color spots in the next few days so head over there too! See what I mean? Color IS everywhere!

And with that in mind, let us celebrate the coming colors together. Show us blazing, beautiful color today!

Love color. Love, love, love. I've been dying to do a Big Picture class, too!

The rain has finally stopped, the sun is shining and spring green is everywhere. I find this color is particularly stunning against a backdrop of earthbrown, as in new shoots coming up in the garden. I would love a spot in this class!

Yes - even the greens this spring come as welcome color!!!

The color is not as obvious around here this spring as it should be (thanks to a very dry winter, early spring). But hey brown is a color too right?? I would loooovve to be able to do this class and get a little more in tune with the color that is all around me.

Last night at sunset I was brought to a hidden haven near my house. It has been there for ages, but I had never seen it. Unbelievable. And unbelievably beautiful. So green. So golden. So pure.

I would so love to be in your class ... I've participated in some of your other classes and have really enjoyed myself. I captured some pictures I would have never thought of capturing before.

Yes. Color. Even here where it is raining. The color gray seems to sum up our days...not gloomy, just hushed and quiet; readying us for the hum and hustle of summer time.
May 25, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterLola
I am excited about Picture Color and will be participating whether or not I win this....but it would be nice to win:)
Here is my favorite recent colorful shot....
