This week, Sylvie invites us “to play with primary colours.” Red, yellow and blue draw our attention to the subject. I’m sure the little boy in the photo below would have found the playground equipment, however the color certainly adds a sense of excitement and fun to the scene.
Sylvie ask if we “actively look for primary colors or enjoy being surprised by the possibilities they present?” I love color – all colors primary and all the blends. Here are some primary hued blossoms.
The Albany Carousel Museum has a lovely functioning carousel and workshops where craftspeople design, carve and paint the animals sponsored by donors. Behold Yun Hsiang, a dragon appearing quite fierce and vital with its red and yellow flames and blue scales, not to mention those sharp white teeth!
While at the museum, I bought a ceramic tile featuring the rooster carousel character which resides in my kitchen. With the last name Le Coq, I can’t pass up a beautiful piece like this one.
In Spokane last June, I had time to stop and take photos of street art, a subject I rarely focus on. Perhaps that’s because most of the time I’m not in cities where street art can be found just about everywhere! The work below uses primary colors, angles and lines to create a feeling of high tension.
On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness. 🐾
Thank you to Sylvie for giving us a wide open challenge with color.
Your are right about the little boy. He sure bring the character to the slide. And I was glad to see you include Albanys carousel. When I lived there it was still a work in progress and people were not visiting yet. Sounds like it is a fun visit.
Fair Oaks is known for its roaming roosters. Though the pandemic seems to have changed their territory. Love the rooster tile.

Thank you, Donna. Yes, the carousel museum is a fun and interesting spot to visit. My sister took me a few years ago – think it’s time to go again!
By Lindy Le Coq on September 8, 2023 at 3:50 pm
Yes. I wound enjoy seeing more of it myself.

GREAT selections Lindy. Love the child on slide, and Yun Hsiang, in particular. Great colors.

Thank you, John. Yun Hsiang is now installed on the carousel – time for me to revisit!

Beautifully done Ms. LeCoq – how perfect is that?!?! Also loved that dragon – terrific choices.

Thank you, Tina. With all the country kitsch out there, I am quite selective about adding new roosters to the collection!

Wonderful post, Lindy. My favourite has to be the yellow flower with the butterfly, so lovely. Thank you for taking part in the challenge.

Thank you Sofia. That shot was another “I can’t believe this is happening and I have my good camera in hand” moment!
By Lindy Le Coq on September 8, 2023 at 3:53 pm
Love those!

Fab clicks.
Love the flowers!

Thank you! At first I wasn’t sure if I should include the flowers, however the trio just seemed to fit and add some lightness to the post.
By Lindy Le Coq on September 8, 2023 at 3:54 pm
A lovely and gentle colour and lightness!
