Sunday Color Snippets

The flowers of the Fall always amaze me. 

I think it is because I expect flowers in the Spring and in the Fall I expect pumpkins and squash so I am always pleasantly surprised.

My recent Union Square Farmer's Market walk presented the follow beauties.

I hope your day is filled with color.

I hope your Sunday is full of color.

Day 6 May Flower Challenge

Welcome to day 6 of the May Flower Challenge.

I'm fascinated with flowers. They are all over my tiny apartment. I photograph them all the time. I draw, paint, doodle them, create them out of paper... I also see them all over the NYC. Each day I will post flowers and I hope that you will join in. The only rules are that your blog post or flickr photo that you link must contain flowers. Click above on the May Flower Challenge Page to learn more.

When you are in NYC on a Saturday morning, at a least a couple times a month, you will find me at the Union Square Green Market. Growing up we always called it the Farmer's Market.

Farm to table food is my ideal way of eating.

  The flowers, at this time of year, are exploding at the market. It is time to plant your window boxes or if you are blessed with outdoor space your patio or balcony or yard.

I, on the other hand, love fresh cut tulips. 

My Mom has over 300 tulips in her garden so tulips remind me of home.

By the way, today is Superman's birthday. For those of you who are new to my blog Superman is my boyfriend - who does all things muscular for me and especially saves me from being the one who carries the groceries up 3 flights of stairs.

He's my superhero for many reasons and I just want to wish him a Happy Birthday! Love you, sweetie. ❤ ❤ ❤

Participate by linking your blog post to my blog post. Each day during May, starting on May 1st, on my blog post I will have a linkytool available so that you can link your specific blog post (not just your blog but the post itself) to my blog post. And, please remember to link back.

Participate by linking to the flickr group - May Flower Challenge- and adding a photo of your flower creation. Make sure you add your photo to the linky below each day that you post.

I took Friday off from my day job and spent the morning with my camera.
I fell in love with these mosaic light posts:

By the way, building a house in NYC takes creativity. Check out that house on top of that building! Amazing!

Can you you find color in your every day?

Please visit the May Flower Challenge page above to learn more about the fun! Additional information will be added as the day goes on.

Color is all around you in Spring. 

The gray and brown turn to vibrant colors.

A few close up of all those flowers 

- just a few more weeks of tulips this beautiful.

My adventure today will be a visit to Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. Also, a walk through the park to find some cherry blossoms - I just love that smell.

Join me tomorrow for a special Shared Messages from the Universe post as I will be linking up with my Fly-Tribe.  You too can play along just click on the link to see our theme (shoe shot) and then join in tomorrow or at any time all week long.

I took my self on a date yesterday morning to the Farmer's Market at Union Square. My camera and coffee in hand - I was one happy girl.

Well, as you can see, I fell in love with the signs of the market.

It is often necessary for me to escape on my own and explore the city. I never know what my focus will be until I return and review the photos. I was pleasantly surprised. So fun!

Sunday Color Snippets - Spring

Spring is here and Central Park has started to bloom.

As the weeks unfold, I am sure that the colors of Spring will visit us on Sundays again so be sure and check back to see what else is blooming in Central Park.

Sunday Color Snippets

Superman and I spent a day last weekend at Chelsea Market.

There were tons of people and because I didn't bring a tripod to do a long shutter exposure of the people passing by - I improvised. I chose to slowly walk through the crowd and snap a picture once in a while.

The out of focus movement totally captures how I felt in the crowd.

As we walked around, I took pictures of things that made me smile. The little love bug chocolates, the crab claws, and the bread (if I sit quietly and look at the bread picture I can almost smell it, again).

I love the repeated pattern of color that each individual picture has (the bread itself, the red lady bug, and the black tips of the claws).

Color inspiration by a visit to Anthropologie...framed 35mm slides.

 I love this!!!

Blue sky...I often forget you are there due to concrete surrounding me and traveling by subway.
Last weekend,mwhile I was out in the city, the sky was so blue.  I thought I would share a few shots of my glimpse of the sky from different angles.  I will admit that I often forget to look up because so much is happening around me.

 The morning started out with whispy clouds above.

After lunch the sky was clear.

The reflection in the car window below stopped me in my tracks as I was walking. The color of the sky was captured so well, the lighting and the building were framed so nicely I couldn't help but click the shot.

In the photo below, the two white specks that are in the sky are a star, on the left, and a sliver of the moon. 

 What do you see when you look up?

Sunday Color Snippets...Flowers

I had flowers on the brain yesterday...which is pretty normal -they are one of my favorite things.  So, I saw them everywhere.  I have walked past the buildings where I discovered these flowers numerous times and I never saw them.  It is amazing what you don't see when you are in auto mode.  This time, because I didn't have a destination in mind, I was able to see the world around me with fresh eyes.

After creating my bouquet for the Creative Color Challenge (which you can see if you scroll down to yesterday's post), Superman and I went out for my birthday lunch and a walk in the city. 

 We walked past Gwyneth Leech's Coffee cups at the Flatiron building.  This time I noticed the floral cups, go figure.  

 If you haven't, please visit the exhibit as it will come down on February 18th.  I can't tell you how much joy her coffee cups have brought to my days.  Don't tell anyone... but I think I am officially a stalker as I have walked by, stopped, and stared in wonder more than a dozen times.

I encourage you to see the world around you through fresh eyes.

 Last week when the BF and I were out walking I stopped at 79th and Madison and chose the color green. You may remember that I previously shared the color red from the same 4 corners of Manhattan. If you missed it click on the words in the previous sentence to see them.

 Thank you for all the well wishes. I am starting to feel better. One more day of rest should help.

I have been feeling a little under the weather lately. The BF aka Superman had it really bad and happily it hasn't hit me that hard but....it is still hitting me. This means that I have reached into my collection of farmer's market photos to create this weeks color snippet.
It also means that I decided to add the color of the sun to your Sunday hoping that it would brighten my mood, too.

Sunday Color Snippets - Shades of Black

Colors are all around us, but at this time of year typically the white, black and gray seem to creep in. Yesterday it was 60 degrees in NYC, the sky was blue, the sun was out, but I was still drawn to the black and gray.

The BF, aka Superman, and I took a walk across Central Park instead of what were going to do because of subway construction (17 of the 22 lines had schedule changes --- this means it would take 2-3 times as long to get whereever we were going and I honestly didn't have the patience). 

Well we had a great time on our walk and at lunch. I, of course, was distracted and clicking pictures. Superman really is patient and he never makes me hurry. Love him so much.

I noticed these iron railings on our way to the restaurant and insisted that we could walk back the same way.

As we approached the park, I consciously knew that iron work wouldn't be available once inside (at least not on the path we were walking) so I became distracted by the shadow that one of the railings placed on the wall. Well, I was stuck on shadows for the rest of the walk.

Thanks for sharing in out walk. Enjoy your Sunday.

Happy New Year & Sunday Color Snippets

Happy 2012!

No, Superman and I did not venture to Times Square on New Year's Eve. I have lived in NYC for 10 years and I have never been nor will I ever stand outside, with no access to food, water or facilities for more than 12 hours just to see the ball drop. Sigh...

Instead, we stayed in, made dinner, watched movies, clicked over to watch a little of the Times Square chaos, and later enjoyed prosecco and delicious cheeses, meats, olives, fruits, etc.

Then we walked to Central Park to enjoy the fireworks.

Happy New Year, my friends. 

Thank you for all of your support, sweet comments, and visits during 2011. 

Cheers to a beautiful 2012. May all your wishes come true.
