Colour month

For those of you who don’t know - I love colour... I love to shoot it, wear it, play with it... I’d dance and sing with it, if I could!

Colour is one of the main driving forces in my photography... I don’t think you can ever have too much colour!

So we’d like to invite you to join us celebrating colour all month long.  That's right, this month's new One Word is COLOR!

Let’s seek out different colours each day and post them in the one word group. You can take up the challenge to shoot a different shade each day, or go through your archives and add it to the pool. To keep the Flickr pool looking totally fabulous, please only upload the colour of that day... you’ll see why as the group fills up, it looks SO pretty.

How about adding even more colour to your life? Epiphanie bags are supporting us this month because their new spring/summer line is FULL of colour, and they’d love to give one bag of your choice to one lucky person who plays along this month. All you’ve got to do is add your photo to the comments each day and tag it #sscolormonth here, in the OWP pool on Flickr or on instagram (you can add as many photos as you like, each photo gives you a chance to win) - Thank you Epiphanie!

Can't wait to see this festival of colourfulness all month long! Hooray!

I love how this month's assignments really have me tuned in to the colors around me. Here's lime green: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmvogt/5948030451/

It's so nice to go through my forgotten photos in search for the appropriate colors. Here's my take on grass/forest green:

I just returned from a week long road trip from Wisconsin to Yellowstone and back and just found out about the color month. Can I still join in? Can I post for past days or just start going forward?

[prairiegirl]

this is really, really fun! i didn't join in until june 6th (so glad i did!) and i have to say that after focussing (literally) on black and white in tracey's picture black and white class (AWESOMENESS, btw), that it was tricky to readjust my eyes to colour ... all of these prompts just really help keen our senses ... thank you shutter sisters!
