Monochrome: A Picture in Different Shades of One Color
The first of the month is always "Theme Day" with City Daily Photo bloggers, and despite my misreading the website and being prepared with photos for "Laugh," which is next month's theme, I scrambled in my garden and found these monochromatic examples.

Except for the first photo below which is from the Chihuly Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, which I visited last month, all of the other photos are from my back yard.

| You know it's spring when the forsythia is in bloom |
 |
| Flowering quince is one of my springtime favorites |
 |
| Variegated leaf lettuce in my salad garden |
 |
| Bibb lettuce, also in my salad garden |
 |
| Fall and winter detritus is definitely shades of brown |
 |
| A Star Magnolia is also an early bloomer and very welcome in the spring |

| A bit of the hair of the dog (literally) as my rat terrier Zoey sheds her winter coat. |
Dazzling and mostly vibrant, aside from the seasonal detritus! Good takes, Susan!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and all great choices for this month's theme!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like both the top and the bottom photo. The others are striking, too, but the ones mentioned struck me immediately. Your blue theme reminds me of the weather report discussing our freeway traffic, with twists and turns. The bottom looks very much like a mane of beautiful human hair. Am I close or way off on that one?
ReplyDeleteApparently the captions did not show? The first is a Chihuly sculpture and the last is a bit of my dog Zoey's hair that I brushed out of her. Good call on both since you didn't know. I hope you are getting back into the swing of being home. It's always bittersweet to come home after a vacation. Happy to be home but missing the novelty of being somewhere else. At least that's how I always feel.
DeleteI love the variety of nature's colors you have presented here. They are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots all! Love the greens!
ReplyDeletegreat choices for the theme! love the forsythia!!
