Egidio’s challenge is Color in Black and White. I wasn’t quite sure how to approach the challenge until I read his post and saw his amazing examples. In his post he tells us “Even when a scene is presented entirely in shades of gray, our brains—conditioned by a lifetime of experience—can effortlessly “see” the familiar hues we expect. We project our own memories onto the print.”
At first I wasn’t sure how to respond to Egidio’s challenge. I ended up having fun as I searched through my archives. I hope you are able to “see” the colors in these images.
Many thanks to everyone who shared their beautiful relaxing images for Anne’s challenge Time to Relax.

Thanks Anne! I almost didn’t include the peach because I wasn’t sure everyone would get it.

Beth, these are classic examples. What a fantastic response! Using nature as the basis for your response makes us all familiar with the subjects. The rainbow, the sky, the trees, everything reminds me of the full colors in each image. I agree with Anne about the peach, too.

These are all great Beth, but especially the peach – I can almost feel the texture when I look at it, as well as imagining the colour!

I also think the peach is a wonderful shot and great idea for the challenge, Beth, as it is a softer monochrome. On saying that, your flag and palm trees are amazing in contrast and detail, I love those too.
