"Color of Summer" photography challenge


This was an old ore car full of flowers blooming, at the bottom of the Jackson Pass.  We had gone over to Jackson Hole to pick up a friend of ours that works at the airport, and then stopped to eat at Nora's.  The food was excellent if you ever get the chance to go there.  This was along their property as we got ready to leave.  I had been taking photos, and had explained to Vicki the theme of "the color of summer", and she started watching for opportunities for me!  Jeff complained...now I have two women telling when to stop for photos!".  Get used to it buddy!


This photo is coming through Felt on our way into Driggs.  Everything was so green and pretty.  I just loved it.


Another one of my favorites from the same spot.


These photos were taken downton Jackson Hole.  Everyone has hanging planters along the fronts of their businesses.  It's very pretty, but I was quite a distance from them.  Maybe I should have walked a little closer...but that would have involved crossing the street, and there were tons of people waiting for the shootout as we were there just before 6:00 pm.




This was on top of Jackson Pass, and there was still snow there...I could have walked over to it.  But again, everything was so green and beautiful.  Loved taking photos that weekend.


Blue skies.  What a gorgeous color.  Again...on top of Jackson Pass.


Green fields between Ashton and Driggs.  It's just miles and miles of these gorgeous green fields.  I love that drive in the summer.


What's more beautiful than the green fields and valley with the Tetons behind them.  And look at the snow that is still there.  It was the 16th of July for heavensakes... They had flooding in Driggs...water going over the road between Driggs and Victor.  Lot's and lot's of water this year.

I actually took this photo last year when we visited the Oregon coast...but what color!  Just had to share.  Ashley...I promise I won't send you all of these.  I wanted to get photos of a kid eating watermelon...didn't happen.  I wanted a photo of the granddaughters with the painted toenails and in flip flops...didn't happen.  So...this is what you get.

I LOVE your pictures. When I started reading your post my thought on the first picture was "I love that," then I went to the next pictures and I loved them too. I LOVE colors---they totally speak to me. I also had a lot of others that I wanted to get pictures of but didn't. Thanks for participating.
