I am having fun taking these color themed pictures of the Inland Empire. February is, surprise-surprise, all about the pink and red. I’m going to take this opportunity to pat myself on the back for not including any pictures of the Valentine’s Day decorations I saw around town. Of course, that’s probably why I have eight pictures this month as opposed to January’s ten pictures.� You can see the expanded pictures at the Inland Empire Family blog.
My goal is to show those who don’t live in the Inland Empire that we are more than the browns and beiges normally associated with this almost-desert locale.� I’m still deciding what colors to photograph in March and April.� That’s the best part of this project–I only allow myself to photograph certain colors for the month, and once I commit to a color, there is no turning back.
This year-long project was inspired by Nicole Robertson of Little Brown Pen and her series of color-themed pictures of Paris.� Please do go check out her pictures.� They are far better than mine, and for several reasons.� One, they are of Paris, not Perris.� Two, she is a (much, much, much) better photographer.� Three, she did it first.� And better.� And it’s always nice to give the originator of an idea the high-five they deserve.
oh for march i think of the start of spring and st patrick’s day….so greens and turquoise.
and for april easter so yellow and lavender….those two colors have always reminded me of easter!
Those are great color choices! The turquoise and lavender are going to be challenging to find, which makes me want to do it even more.
Interesting…you are from the I.E.? Me too! Aren’t you loving the splash of green the recent rains brought? And the strawberries? I feel compelled to photograph boxes of the luscious strawberries straight from the fields all around me every season. Love your blog. Too much fun!
Well what do ya’ know! Hello! :) I’ve been wanting to get a bunch of IE bloggers together, but I was beginning to think it was just me and Deanna on Domestic Chicky.
I agree with Heather on greens for March. Sure it’s a bit obvious, but it’s fun!
April I would say yellow! And then hunt down some baby ducks. Cutest things EVER!
