What can I say? The dogs ate my homework?! Well in a way, that is partly why I’m so late posting to this challenge. Just about the time I have all my “must do’s” on the computer finished, Max or Daisy comes up to me and puts a paw on my laptop, insisting it’s time for me to take them out. At home they have a doggie door, at the beach (where we are now), I’m their ticket out! So, in an effort to at least play with colorful expressions of the photographic kind, I offer some favorites from my archives.

Long Beach, WA sunsets are always lovely, and often stunningly colorful!



I love the POP of bright yellow on a clear blue sky. This Delphinium is such a gorgeous hue of blue, I couldn’t resist snapping its portrait. My summer rudbeckia and cone flowers make a cheerful perennial splash.

In late spring my rhododendrons bloom a spectacular dark pink, made more vivid by their deep evergreen foliage.

Beautiful sunset capture! Glad you took a walk. 🙂 Lovely flowers.
This is a wonderful response to this challenge Lindy! You’ve captured many colors from your surroundings.
Lovely colors, and I’ll learn flower names as well. I like the yellow against the blue sky.
