{a splash of color}

I love photographs. But, I also love everything to be color coordinated. So, I have discovered an application for iPod and iPad that solves all of my problems: it is called "Color Splash" (I am unsure how to post a link to an Apple App here). It is a fun, whimsical way to make my photos match:



It doesn't always have to be photograph of people...





But it can get pretty silly and whimsical...

The name of a colour is just as exciting to me as the colour itself. It never ceases to excite me when trying to guess the hue of a crayon called:

"Inchworm," "Mountain Meadow," and "Caribbean," ~ greens
"Cornflower," "Outer Space," and "Pacific" ~ blues
"Orchid," "Eggplant," and "Wisteria" ~ purples.

Some of my favorite quotes about crayons (and colour, of course):

I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns. ~Winston Churchill

Never invest in any idea you can't illustrate with a crayon. ~Peter Lynch

My childhood smells like a box of Crayola crayons. ~Jessi Lane Adams
