What would we do without paints and cameras and computers and vision and appreciation of the world around us?!!! Island Traveler asked us to ponder the word, Color, for this week’s challenge. As always, I was ready for a challenge!
Amos Lee make us ponder how we see colors via a beautiful song titled, Colors; “When you’re gone, colours seem to fade.”
Paul Simon’s Kodachrome jump starts all of us into a foot-stomping sing-along mood for this week’s Image of Life: COLOR.
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Edie Brickell sings about Colors slipping into the sky in the song, Circle.
Don McClean’s timeless tribute to Vincent Van Gogh paints an equally-beautiful Starry Starry Night with swirling colors changing hues.
The Counting Crows sing about Colorblind… I am colorblind Coffee black and egg white…

Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama y Ecuador… and I think to myself, “Oh, What a Wonderful World.”
No song gives a better reality check about colors and seeing what’s in front of us than Armstrong’s Beautiful World.
Every single blogger contributes to the beauty of the WordPress world. Thank you, Island Traveler, for bringing us together through the world of color! Z
Simon’s “Kodachrome” has to be one of the best toe-tappers in the world! And I get to bring two more wonderful color songs. First, there’s Donovan’s “Yellow is the Color”, sung here with Joan Baez.
And we can’t forget De Colores!
Those are so great and appropriate! Thank you so much for two great bedtime songs of muchos colores! Z
This song by a master of the music of Brazil, speaking of colors, that is life without colors
Suave and soothing! Thanks for adding another great song, Mr. Music! 🙂 Z
Brazil and its music are particularly attractive, from little walk through the streets of Copacabana, Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro …
Adiós
beautiful, Z!
Thanks! Have a colorful weekend! Z

It has been a busy weekend…at work! One more day then I’m off for a week. A long overdue Summer break with my family to Florida. My son’s back to school end of August and back to reality. Having a moment to read and make comments on my blogger friends post is a joy for me. Thank you.

Are you familiar with the work of Ed Evans? He has the most remarkable eye for color of anyone I have ever known! You would like him.
His work is calming, makes the viewer (me!) want to roll around catlike in the soft colors! Z
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing your artist´s eye with us.
Thank YOU so much! Z
