a bit more of summer, one color at a time...

Just a few mornings left before the tyranny of the school-bell-schedule takes over...
So, an opportunity this morning to take a look at things through non-commuting eyes.
Again, the 'color accent' tool on the camera, breaking down the spectrum into its elements:

the ripening of prickly pears...
======================================================

the light yellow-green of agave and cactus...

================================================

the tiny yellow blooms of the creosote bush--the distinctive scent-giver when rain first falls in the desert...

=======================================================

more prickly pears--and the echo of their color in the rocks of the mountains...


always the sky, almost always blue...

===========================================

palo verde trees between the adobe and the mountains...


stark adobe...


...and the full-color version.

=======================================

purple...
green...
rust...
...all come together.

In reference to Google making us stupid...I automatically clicked on your word of the day, expecting to be whisked away to a definition.

Asked and answered I guess.
