“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky”.- Rabindranath Tagore
It has been one of the coldest January’s on record and we have been housebound again. As I look outside my windows at the pure white snow, I long for color. I dream of spring when the world comes to life again and the earth is reminding us of the beauty of life. The virgin green foliage, the violet lilacs, the buttery yellow daffodils. I know, I’m dreaming as spring is still a long ways away. So instead, I thought I’d create some color to inspire my mind and bring you some life.
Although I’m tired of white, I can never tire of a beautiful white flower like this one in Honduras.
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for”. -Georgia O’Keeffe
“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises”. – Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Your images brought me sunshine. We’re having record lows for my area. Tonight is will once again be in the single digits. But I guess that’s warm for you. Think Spring.
Thanks! I’m thinking spring!!!!! But it is a long ways off…oh well.
Much needed. Thanks!
Wonderful! So glad it helped! 🙂
I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing! Such a good idea to escape from the cold monotony of winter into my old photos.
So glad you enjoyed! Winter is so long and it helps to look through wonderful memories and colorful photos! 🙂
Such beautiful and colourful images, Nicole. Keep warm. 🙂
Thanks! I’m trying but it is so darn cold here. !
I needed this blast O color! Thanks! Dirty snow abounds here.
Glad you enjoyed. We have lots and lots of snow but it is bright white. 🙂
In the towns and the roads it quickly changes here from the exhaust : (
These are beautiful colors.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! 🙂

Gorgeous, Nicole. Hope it warms up and you get out soon!
Hugs from Ecuador,

Thanks Kathy. No end in sight as this is going to be a really long winter here. Got to grin and bare it I guess. 🙂
Your images made me smile as well Nicole. I hope you are able to get outside soon. I would have serious cabin fever by now. 🙂
Thanks LuAnn. I went on a cold 15 degree run yesterday but at least I got out. It is such a difficult winter this year and it is only January. Oh well….
Beautiful photo Nicole – like sunshine on this grey January day!
Thank you!
A treat for the eyes 🙂
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! Eye candy as I like to call it!
We are also housebound because of the freezing weather! Looking at this beautiful flower makes me think of warmth on the way!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Yes it has been such a long winter so far and we have so much left, especially here in Minnesota! It is snowing like crazy today but at least it is relatively warmer!
Ugh! We are wimps down here on the Gulf coast so we don’t know what to do with ourselves! 🙂 It’s 52 and I’m bundled up inside!
It’s all relative isn’t it?! 🙂
Beautiful Captures – Love the Pops of Color:)
