summer color

1. Picture Summer | Day Eight, 2. Coca-Cola from the 1980s, 3. got a thing for red shoes, 4. Untitled, 5. boom!, 6. My number one copilot.

I've got to admit, few things make me giddier than little splashes of summer red.

How about you? What is your summer color? Today show us the vibrant hues and soulful shades that are defining your summer life.

Living in the countryside -'summer colour' summons up thoughts of harvesting hay......

This year's summer colours are turning out to be soft blues, greens and greys for me. This is partly because of the cloudy and rainy weather we've been having and partly because I've been shooting film and getting dreamy, slightly underexposed images:

I love these reds! And I am not normally a "red girl".

It is over-the-top hot where I am, the hottest June on record, which is saying something for Texas, and the colors this summer are faded from the sun and heat. No need to Photoshop desaturate - Mama Nature is doing it herself.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.http://www.shoesicon.net/shoes-icon-manolo-blahnik-sandals-1824.html

it's the summer of yellow for me: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stakos/5925874447/

And it all started with one of Peaceful Peacock's creativity prompts. http://thepeacefulpeacock.com/projects/. Peacock writes about art and life and creativity. She is an inspiration.

My photography niche is all about vibrant color. And summer always brings that out just a little bit more. I've been to some local gardens recently & photographed some gorgeous flowers.

Here is one of my more vibrant shots:
