Color Walk #ecc8f5

 

For my color walk, I decided to utilize a random color generator and also my boyfriend’s backyard.

4:14 PM The random color generator gave me a pinkish-lavenderish color called #ecc8f5.

4:16 PM The first thing I found that matched this color was a flower growing in a bush by the outdoor fire pit. It was the lightest of the bunch and stood out from the hot pink ones surrounding it. 

4:17 PM After I snapped the picture of the flower I was making my way up the deck when I saw this glass flower. The pink “swirlies” fit pretty well with the color scheme I was going for. I liked the real flower better.

4:18 PM Once I was back on the deck I saw my 2020 planner (kind of useless now huh?) laying on the bar. I think the cover of my planner matches the #ecc8f5 perfectly. 

4:19 PM Now I am sitting at the bar looking for the next place to walk around the yard when I saw the top of the ladder that my boyfriend’s dad, Dave, used to take down the “Happy 50th Birthday!” banner that was hanging up this morning. Although I believe the top of the ladder started out red, it has faded to a nice light pink. Perfect for my use in this case. 

4:20 PM Resting beside the ladder was a worn down empty flower part with painted on flowers that I imagine ALSO used to be red. I decided to snap a picture and make that the last photo on my timeline!

I made my timeline using Google Drawing. I wasn’t able to figure out how to use it on Flickr.

Daily Create #tdc3069

For The Daily Create’s challenge for June 7th, 2020, the challenge was to design a postmodern birdie with an emotional color. Looking through my photos, I remembered that while I was Belize, I had taken pictures of a lot of birds, one of favorites being a male Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus); the little guy picture above was always very chipper in the morning, bee-bopping from treetop to treetop, making it very difficult to get a picture. This is one of my favorite pictures I got of him, nestled in the over-crossing of branches and leaves high up in the trees. Turning this bird into a postmodern birdie with emotional colors, I decided to use the colors yellow and green. The color yellow emotionally symbolizes things such as bright, sunny, energetic, warm, happy, and joy; the color green emotionally symbolizes things such as freshness, the environment, money, fertility, and the earth. I chose to use yellow shadows to enhance the bird’s dark colored body to now resemble it’s perky, bright, and energetic behavior. I also chose to use green hues to enhance the environmental aspects of the picture, such as the branches and leaves, to resemble the freshness of the earth and area the bird was in. Putting these colors into this photo made the birds body pop with the shadows of yellow, and the environmental aspects around him, making for a fun and eccentric postmodern birdie displaying emotional colors.

I have also provided another picture based off of this Daily Create challenge of my rat Casper, pictured on the left. I chose to use the colors blue and pink for his emotional colors. The color blue emotionally symbolizes tranquility, security, loyalty, peace, and trust; the color pink emotionally symbolizes healthy, happy, sweet, compassionate, and playful. I chose to use pink hues to enhance Casper’s happy, compassionate, and playful behavior while using blue shadows to enhance his tranquility, security, and trust in his home environment. I hope you have enjoyed my take on a postmodern birdie/rat using emotional colors!
