Egidio has asked us to showcase complementary colors from the color wheel. Complementary colors such as blue and yellow, red and green, and purple and yellow are opposite each other on the color wheel.

My header image from Ireland features a red car on a curvy road with green foliage all around.

The rest of the images show complementary colors found in nature.

Next is a gallery of Purple and Yellow Flowers.

The final gallery features red and green in the garden.

Many thanks to Egidio for the challenge Lens-Artists #333 – Complementary Colors

Sunday Stills: Peach and Orange

September 15, 2024Posted in Butterflies, Flowers, Nature, WildlifeTagged autumn, Color, Color Challenge, Georgia Peach, Gulf Fritillary, Mexican Sunflower, Orange Blooms, Peach and Orange, Sunday Stills26 Comments

Terri’s latest color challenge is peach and orange. When I think of these colors I think of autumn leaves and pumpkin patches. Here in coastal Georgia our leaves don’t change colors and I don’t see many pumpkin patches.

My home state of Georgia is known as the Peach State so my first two images feature delicious Georgia peaches. Their season is short and is over for this year. I really wish I had some fresh Georgia peaches to enjoy right now.

I don’t have any images of orange leaves or pumpkins but I found these orange flowers and butterflies in my garden this month.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

Sunday Stills: Insects in the Garden

I often see insects on garden flowers but it is a challenge to get them to stay still long enough for a photo. Here are a few insects I managed to capture through the years.
