I have a habit of taking photos of a section, piece or part of something that catches my interest when I go somewhere and then I don't end up with photos that really show where I've been. The above photo is from my recent trip to Tuscon. Not that you can tell :-)
When my mom was visiting recently, we went to see a high school friend of hers, Patricia. Patricia's home is spectacular. Her husband Kim has a cactus garden with cactus from all over the world. Quite beautiful.
One of the things I loved about their home was the use of color. Walls, inside and out, were painted with vivid blues, yellows, and even a deep purple. Having lived for the last twenty years on the east coast, where colors tend to be more muted and dark, it's fun to see how people in the southwest use color.
So, I guess the theme for today's posting, from close-up shots to different ways to use color, is about looking at the world in different, unexpected and sometimes surprising ways. I'm going to pay attention to this theme today and see where it leads me.
