I love them all and they all seem to get along, except very dark colors -don't like. Maybe, I just haven't learned to use them yet.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-82928359415551590502011-02-10T06:59:09.940-05:002011-02-10T06:59:09.940-05:00Hello Darla girl !

It is almost like shooting shadows once you start really looking for subtle colours you didn't see before .. and yet on the other hand we can't get too distracted by it either ? a fine balance to keep ;-)<br /><br />Hello Donna .. how true is that too!<br />That is why we should make a point of watching the garden in different degrees of light as the day passes .. it can make us change our minds about certain plants .. it is all quite an eye full !<br /><br />Jan girl hello there ! .. yes .. we first look at the basic colours to begin with and then as the plant matures .. add the light value throughout the day .. and it can become very complex can't it !<br /><br />Hello there Nellie ! .. i just saw your post on the nuthatch and its bilingual capabilities .. that is amazing ! Great pictures of it too!<br />Hey I like hearing from other Brit spellers girl : ) and the loose leaf tea ! LOL .. I have to check your reference post out with our colour topic yet .. thanks !<br /><br />Carrie girl : ) isn't that another glimmer of truth too ! in our gardens we surround ourselves with colours we love .. our gardens and homes are the only places we can do that and feel so comfortable with them eh ? and as photographers it opens yet another direction of "seeing" the big picture! I'm so glad you have that back for yourself : )<br /><br />Hello Tessa girl !<br />It can e almost overwhelming when you move into a new home and "garden' .. you have no idea really what is there until you go through a full season and YES! shapes are so important too.<br />We moved into this home with 2 dead trees and a dying lawn .. a sand pit in the back corner part of the garden .. I am sure the original home owner would be shocked with the inside and outside of this place NOW! haha<br />Your new place is a challenge but you are more than up to it girl !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-12639130719736093112011-02-10T01:15:24.992-05:002011-02-10T01:15:24.992-05:00Very nice post, Joy.

As I really don't have too much color yet, our first year I had to use my imagination and really see not only the colors that I probably wouldn't have noticed had I had lots of plants, but I had to really look at shape. In fact it was mostly about shapes, how they flow, how color could change the flow or enhance it. Although our new property has good 'bones', I still see it as starting from scratch and it is a challenge, but exciting!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-79336647391839793232011-02-09T18:52:23.789-05:002011-02-09T18:52:23.789-05:00It's a beautiful observation to make.

Now as a photographer colour is everything I love it and in the garden - oh it is so exciting to choose what we want to surround ourselves with.
