Karma has issued her August photo challenge. This time it is all about color. In fact our assignment was to find all the colors of the rainbow represented in summer fun.
We have lots of summer color around here, so I’m taking you on three different photo tours. It’s difficult to choose just one photo for each color, so I’m splurging on three categories!
First is the county fair. I went to the fair specifically to find the colors of the rainbow. Some of you have seen many of my fair photos; I posted them shortly after I was there. But I saved the photos here just for this challenge.
Second is our own garden. After I read the challenge I realized that all the colors of the rainbow were right here at home.
Third is an annual event that occurs here every August called the Woodward Dream Cruise. People from all over the country converge on our county and drive their antique and muscle cars up and down miles and miles of Woodward Ave, just like teenagers used to cruise Woodward in the 50’s. It’s a huge event and there are beautiful cars on display for miles. I’ll show you just a few. I found that I was more interested in the art of pieces of vehicles than the whole car or truck. So mostly you’ll see pieces of them here.
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
And as a special bonus, a picture of ME doing something summery.

Love it!
Summer is a time of color. You’ll have to repost this in February, when everyone is so tired of the white and grey!

Your colors are gorgeous Dawn! Three pictures for each color are wonderful. Everyone seems to be outdoing themselves for the hunt this time around – I’m a bit afraid my own will pale in comparison. ( did you and Scott go to the same car show?)

I think Scott and I were at different car events..I’ll go look at his! This one was fun because color is so fun to look for. I think probably everyone enjoyed looking for summer color!

I have to confess to being attracted to the car shots, but I guess that’s allowed… lol… You’ve sure put together a great selection here from the three different locations… Very cleverly done..

What a wonderful entry! I really enjoyed this and seeing ‘summer color’ through your eyes. Now, I’m partial to flowers so if I had to choose, the purple asters are my favorite!
