capture the color

Publish five photographs which 'Capture the Colour'. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong. In addition to having an artistic eye and access to expensive camera gear, pro-photographers are well-versed in editing software. The best are also magnificent curators, expertly choosing shots which best represent the beauty of a moment caught on film (or a memory card). I, my dears, am not a pro-photographer. I simply delight in manifesting visual memories of experiences I can later share with family, friends, and lovely people like you. But when both Sara and Robert invited me to partake in this year's Photoblogging Competition, I could hardly refuse...

It took me days upon days to scour through my photo archives for five which (1) are predominately monochrome (obviously I wasn't entirely successful) and (2) "showcased the beauty of our planet's natural landscape, impressive man-made wonders and exotic cuisine, as well as animals, friends and once-in-a-lifetime experiences." As life's abundance often translates to a busy schedule, I figured I'd drop in now that I'm satisfied--enough--with my entry. Do you have a favorite? Thank you to Sara and Robert for the challenge! Now, it's my turn to nominate five more bloggers to join. I chose a few whose photography skills I especially admire:
Hope you can participate, ladies! If so, make sure to complete your entry with a tweeted link and #CTC13 to @travelsupermkt.

  1. Awesome color in all of these photographs! I think the photo from Marrakech is my favorite. :) Although the lunch one is great, too.

    1. Thank you! It was so tough to narrow them down :) I love that one from Marrakech, too. White painted walls were popular in the otherwise bright colorful city of Marrakech.

  2. Great shots! You know I love the red one! ; ) #clink

    This is such a fun photo contest. I entered, I think last year, and it was so much fun digging through the photos. Such great memories. And Travel Supermarket is great, they'll repin your photos in their color albums so you can see all the other entries along with yours.

    Good luck!
