These are a few of my favorite photos from a trip to Utah in the late Summer of 2010.  I love the colors in all of them.  Some landscapes show stark vibrant contrasts--azure blue sky, sandy orange-red rock, vibrant forest green foliage, perhaps even a puffy white cloud.  Others have muted shades and layering of colors.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

How fun to go on a scavenger hunt!  Challenging, too!  Calling for creative visioning and interpretations.  So without further ado, here are mine:  

Landscape

I went on a bike ride both days this weekend, riding mostly on the bike path.  The weather was glorious! 

Complimentary or Triadic Color

While riding my bike, I saw many asters of various sizes and hues along the path.  Purple aster blossoms nod joyously against a background of goldenrod.

Black and White

Well, he IS black and white, isn't he?!!  Oliver was not too thrilled about having his portrait taken as you can see.

 Food

My friends have an organic farm--Finn Meadows Farm.  I joined their Vegetable CSA--Community Supported Agriculture.  Every week I go to the farm and choose wonderful produce, some of which I'd never seen before.  I wonder if you know what the green and orange items are.  Eggplants!  and good, too!  In the back is a dark purplish sweet pepper that when cut open is green inside.  The purple bean on the right turns green when cooked.  The onions are from the Farm;  the tomatoes from my garden.  

Blank Space

somewhat impressionistic.  open to interpretation.  blank yet rich with possibilities.

Come on over to Scavenger Hunt Sunday on Ashley Sisk's blog and see some wonderful, creative entries.  This is my first time participating.  I discovered this meme on Gemma's blog Meme-Aholics.
