A Word a Week: Atmospheric

Old barrels and cartAtmospheric is defined as creating a distinctive mood, typically of romance, mystery, or nostalgia. Although I took this picture this past weekend (February), it makes me think of fall, Halloween, leave piles, and the smell of apple cider.

A Photo a Week: Changing Seasons

Changing seasonsWe’ve been very lucky this year in Utah. We’ve had a beautiful fall season. Usually, fall around here lasts about 3 days and is a muted brown. However, this year we’ve had a full spectrum of colors around the Salt Lake Valley and in the mountains. Soon, the snow will start flying, and we’ll have to wait until mid March or early April for signs of spring.

Post your favorite photo that represents a change of season (any season) and put the link in the comments here to share. Tag your post with “photo challenge” and “postaday” so that others can find it easily.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hue of You

Red Virginia Creeper leavesMy favorite color is dark green. So dark that it’s almost black. Having read that, you’re probably wondering why I’m posting a picture of vibrantly red Virginia Creeper leaves. Because even though my all-time favorite color is deep, dark green, my world (and especially my wardrobe) is full of reds. It’s such a strange phenomenon. In fact, my husband and I recently redid our living room and bedroom. In each room, three walls and the ceiling are white, and then there’s the accent wall. In the living room, it’s red (my husband’s favorite color), and in the bedroom it’s dark green (mine). However, both of us have stated that the other person’s favorite colored wall is our favorite part of the redo.

[Hue] can explain it? [Hue] can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons,
Wise men never try!
(lyrics from “Some Enchanted Evening” [South Pacific]) (Changes made at my husband’s suggestion)
