What a colorful way to start my day.

I’m not sure that even this fabulous color scheme would convince me that the words “fun” and “taxes” belong in the same sentence.
I do like their unconventional color scheme however and it inspired me to look for other images in blue and violet. (more…)

I enjoy browsing Flickr to see what catches my eye and today it was this photo of Fragment of “No. 5 / No. 22″, Mark Rothko, 1950, MOMA, NY.

I think this is a beautiful warm color palette.

Princess: I’m not, I’m just thinking with this crayon. (more…)

While searching for something completely different I came across this color chart online and was intrigued by the range of colors. Who knew that fungi…or more specifically basidiomycete fungi…could be found in so many colors?
Below is from a survey and inventory of basidiomycete fungi (excluding rusts and smuts) of Belize and the Dominican Republic with emphasis on the fungi of pine forests. I think this is a beautiful palette of natural tones.
