Nature and Color

I'm a NYC city girl.  I love buildings, sidewalks, graffiti, sharp angles, sarcasm, high heels, NPR, and I dress, mostly in black.

But spring is upon us so I decided to do something unusual.  I went to the Denver Botanical Gardens and took my camera to see and record what's happening.  Spring is renewal -- what has died is coming back to life.  While there are aspects of this season I like (bleeding hearts in my garden — my Mom's favorite flower), my color palate is not happy.  I like rich, jewel tones and this vision of pastels doesn't satisfy me.  I love the colors of summer and fall.

But, surprise!  I saw this flower sporting complementary colors and I was blown away.  Maybe spring has some inspiration for me after all!
