Morning Light in Venice, Italy

Morning Light in the Doge’s Palace, Venice, Italy

Welcome to Day 98 in the Crayola Challenge! Today we are getting some sun and a glow! We are in Venice, Italy! What more could you ask for to get a glow? The sun is right, the colors are right and the mood is right!

Sunglow is a fluorescent color, introduced in 1990. It is known as Bee-Utah-ful, the color for Utah in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Ville de Québec, Canada

No 87! This is my favorite door photo along the Quartier Petit Champlain, one of the shopping and restaurant areas in Quebec City, Canada! There are lots of interesting highlights in the picture; the royal blue of the door, the different colors and textures of the plants, en masse! But, what I found most quirky about this photo was the stone head of a child, possibly that of a very young sailor, just outside the window on the top left. Also, there were the makings of candles hanging out to dry! And doesn’t that lamp light look like it’s in a fog? A beautiful and eerie door venue! It is set in Vieux Quebec, the oldest section of the city dating back to the 1600’s. The shops are narrow, attached to one another, and made of stone.

As you approach the end of the row of shops, there is #87. At one time it might have been a shop, but now it has decided to be a residence, tucked away behind all those luscious plants. It looks like the old stones were taken out of the structure and made into new steps to reach the door. Now part of the building is brick and the other side a stucco of sorts. I wonder if they will be doing artwork on that side? Many of the older buildings have been given a facelift and the artwork is the highlight of the building!

Here, in this photo if you look in the middle of the photo there is a stairway and a door painted on! The old, blending perfectly with the new!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Color; Sky Blue

A Garden Gate with Sky Blue at Sissinghurst Garden, Kent, UK

Taking pictures through a garden gate, a door, or a window is one of my favorite ways to take a photo! Today’s garden gate and very blue sky was taken at Sissinghurst, family home of Vita Sackville-West. If you ever want to visit a beautiful garden in Kent, this would be one to see! For a peek at Sissinghurst look HERE! So for today the Sky’s the Limit!

Did you know that Blue is the most popular crayola color? There are a lot of blues to like too! Sky Blue as been part of the Crayola Collection since 1958. It is also known as Peacock Blue in the “So Big” set, and both Caribbean Sea and Milky Way in the “Discovery” series. My favorite, for this color is, Sky’s the Limit Blue, found in the special “Colors of Binney & Smith” set. And, it is the color to represent Montana in the “State Crayola Collection.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; 50 Shades of Silver

Sea Holly

When I was in the UK doing my Garden Tour I fell in love with Grey/Silver plants and foliage. The garden of Vita Sackville-West at Sissinghurst, had an entire garden devoted to these colors!

Sissinghurst Garden, Cranbrook, Kent, UK

Other gardens had the silver plants here and there, mingling with the hot, red and yellow flowers or used as blenders with the blue. I have decided this year to add silver foliage and flowers to my garden as well. Maybe I’ll end up with 50 shades of Silver! When you start looking for these plants there are lots out there to pick from! I think I will be starting with my favorite Sea Holly! Then add Snow in Summer, (a ground cover) Dusty Miller, Lamb’s Ears, and more Lavender, called Lavender Cotton. I think I grow that already in a pot. You can see these plants Here!

In the end I may end up looking like this gal!

The Silver Gal

Silver is a metallic color that was first offered in the Crayola Collection from 1903 until 1915. Then it was offered only in bulk until 1944 and then in assortments from 1944 until 1949. It was also known as Harbor Lights in the “Colors of Baltimore” series and Ghostly Silver in the Halloween Crayon sets. My favorite, is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, a silver color in the “Discovery” series.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Sepia

Off the Beaten Path in Canada

Way Off the Beaten Path in Italy

Lost Off the Beaten Path in Italy

Sepia is light brown, like the color of dirt. I like to get off the beaten track when I traveI. I’m not into the maddening crowds! Most of the time that is a polite way of saying I’m lost! But, I’ve had some of my best adventures that way! It only gets really scarey when it gets dark and you’re still lost!

Sepia was added into the Crayola Collection in 1935, but was only available in bulk until 1939. From 1939 until 1944 it was included in the No. 52 box, but then was not produced again until 1958, when it was returned to the No. 64 box. It was also known as Oregon Trail, the color for Oregon in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Montisi, Italy Garden Center

Montisi, Italy Door

Today for my first entry of Thursday Doors, I am presenting the doors of a garden center in Montisi, Italy! This was a long, narrow, building with several doors, where flowers and trees were lined up for viewing and sale, in this very small village in Italy! It just goes to show you doors and flowers go together, and women are women, they want a garden or patch of flowers! If you are looking for an authentic Italian, Tuscan, Hilltop Village you have come to the right place! Montisi, population 500, even offers a unique, guided map for a tour of their village! For a look at more of my favorite Italian Doors in Montisi, look Here! Enjoy!

I have over 37,000 photos in my Collections and I swear half of them are DOORS! So you will see me here a lot!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Color; Scarlet

My Scarlet Shoes

It’s Spring and time to think about new shoes!

I think every woman should own at least one pair of Scarlet shoes, don’t you? Nothing perks you up and makes you feel sexy than Scarlet shoes! Scarlet shoes can make even the plainest/dullest outfits come alive! I love my Scarlet shoes! I love all these shoes, especially, because they are good for traveling!

Multi Colored Dress Up Shoe

Go With Everything Casual Shoe

They are stylish, lightweight, versatile, and support your foot with those elastic, stretchy bands. If they get dirty (no way), but if they do, you throw them in the washing machine! Voila good as new! Who knew they could make such a practical and stylish shoe? As you see I have different styles and colors for every adventure. There are oodles to select from! I buy them at the Charleston Shoe Company, in Charleston, South Carolina. You can order them online too, take a peek!

PS I don’t have nail fungus! It looks like I do, if you look close up at my feet in these pictures! I painted my toes a funky green for Easter! SB told me to Never use that color again! OK, OK, an experiment that did not work!

Scarlet was the name given to Torch Red in the 1998 Crayola Collection. It is also known as Shag Carpet Orange in the “Retro Colors” set. It is Chili Pepper Red, and the color for New Mexico in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Red Violet

Le Lapin Sauté, Quebec City, Canada

For Easter weekend I think we should concentrate on all things rabbit, don’t you? One of my favorite restaurants in Quebec City, is Le Lapin Sauté, The Jumping Rabbit in old French, or the Cooked Rabbit in English! Not only does this restaurant have very tasty soups, entrées, and desserts (not all rabbit dishes, ha ha), the french bistro ambiance is so romantic! We never pass up an opportunity to eat here when we are Quebec City. You can’t miss it, located in the Quartier Petit Champlain area, as it is one of the most stylishly decorated spots in any season! Just look at all those Red Violet, painted pots which make the beautiful display at the entrance to Le Lapin Sauté! You may sit outdoors or in! For a look at the decorations of the restaurant in other seasons, and the inside of the restaurant, just look Here! Enjoy!

Red Violet is another oldie in the Crayola Collection, added in 1930. It is known as Ultra Violet in the “Techno Brite” series and Rock ‘n Roll Raspberry, the color for Ohio, in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Red Orange in Quebec City, Canada

They really know how to do big, bright, and Red Orange in Quebec City! I wonder how many plants it takes to fill this planter? If you like gardens, Quebec City is fabulously decked out all year long! Kudos to their gardeners! For more photos of Quebec City, just look HERE!

Red Orange, a Crayola color since 1930, is also known as Mandarine Orange in Mexico, Juicy Orange in the “So Big Set”, and Cajun Crawfish Orange in the color for Louisiana in the “State Crayon Collection.”

Color Your World:120 Days of Crayola; Red

Red Trolley of New Orleans

Well as would be expected there is much ado about Red with Crayola! Red has been part of the Crayola Collection since the beginning, 1903. There are several interesting names for Red in other Crayola Collections too such as: Candy Apple Red in the “So Big” set, Lobster Red and Mercury Red in the “Discovery” series, Scarlet Red, found only in the “Scarlet Pimpernel” set, and Crabby Red in the “Colors of Baltimore” series. Lobster Red is the color for Maine in the “State Crayon Collection” and it is known as Ladybug Red in the “110th Anniversary” Collection. But, my all time favorite, for Red, is Alice’s Lipstick in the special “Colors of Binney & Smith” set.

So I’m thinking Alice, who was dead tired, after her night of singing the blues in a Jazz Club in New Orleans, slowly painted on her bright red lipstick before leaving the club and boarding this bright red trolley, to trudge back to her family, who needed every nickel and dime just to eat.
