We’re drawn to color — unabashedly bold colors, mixtures of mix-and-match colors, or just strong singular monotones. So snapping photos dominated by colorful combinations has become as much a part of traveling and sightseeing as people-watching, which can be colorful in and of itself.

Great captures – all of them make you smile 😊Those baskets look really cool.
Oh, the Places We See
Thanks, Lynda, for the kind words. Those baskets, made of telephone wire, were colorful and geometric. Can’t imagine that the wire wouldn’t cut into the maker’s hands as it’s tugged into shape. We brought home a few, but you probably guessed that!!

Beautiful colorful post! What a fun festival. 🙂

I was glad to see the word colorful for the theme this week — I love color, so it was easy to find examples. Thanks for commenting, as always.

Super selection!!

Thanks! I really love each of those places — and looking through pictures brings back fond memories. Glad you liked them.

A fun way to address the subject. And men in tutus should be colorful. I am reminded of the old statement, “If you are going to jump, dive!” 🙂 –Curt

Love that statement, Curt! I’ll have to remember that one! Those folks had just marched in a parade, and I couldn’t resist asking if I could take their picture. Pretty colorful, right?

Hard to be more colorful. Laughing.

Oh, the Places We See
And I’ll have to say, we had fun at each of those places. Due to the color? Could be! Thanks for commenting!
