On a gray, cold day, nothing beats a healthy dose of color. Here are five + 3 shots of multi-colors from recent years.
If your day needed cheering, I hope this helped. Which one do you like best?
Five Shots: Polychromatic
Photography. Observations. Adventures. Let's talk.

Millie’s Happy Day. It’s almost as if she is tentatively answering the wave

Derrick, I’m glad you caught that! Milly can get me to stop seeing the big world and focus instead the simple, random things. Looking through her eyes teaches me a lot.

A nice burst of colour indeed, Cindy.
I have to go with the wonderful cactus flowers, as I would never see their like over here.
Best wishes as always, Pete.

That wild one is almost as tall as I am! When they blossom, it feels like you’re privy to a private treat.

Hi Rick, okay! Sunrises and sunsets happen every day, I know, but I can’t get over how brilliant they are in the big sky of Arizona.That 10 minute explosion in the sky instantly cheers me.

Hi Paul, thanks for the kind words. That peachy color is unique on the cacti. I like it, too. That rainbow shot, the end feels like an arm’s length away.

Cacti have such wonderful colors, each is so distinctive. Beautiful rainbow, you’re right, it looks so close you could almost touch it 🙂

Thanks, Don. I’m sorry it’s so bitter up there. My family in Illinois are enduring the arctic blast, too. Milly has a colorful personality that out-cheers any picture I could take.

Welcome back, Honkinggoose. The peach colored ones are rarer than the usual red. I love the contrast between prickles and ruffles.

Thanks, Ian! It’s bizarre and contradictory. The prickles are super sharp but surrounded by beautiful blossoms. Their textures are a photographer’s friend.

Geez that’s a tough race. Milly’s Happy Day, Sherbert Sky and Brettos Bar. Well I always give it to sunsets so I guess it comes down to whether I’d eat that birthday cake or take a drink from that bar? Congratulations Milly, your cake won. 🙂 Who made that work of art by the way? Looks like old school birthday cake butter icing.

It’s just a store-bought one. She like most all 2 year olds loved Elmo. Now at 4 she’s all about Frozen. She marches around and freezes everything wearing her cape and pretending she’s Elsa. She’s a hoot.
