color and texture

I love the textures and colors that have started to come out as it has gotten warmer. Some is left over from last summer and weathered and warn. Others are new, bright, and lovely. It has been such a beautiful March. I wonder what the rest of the year will hold.

flags

For Memorial Day a local organization sponsored flags to be put up in a vacant lot near the middle of town. They were beautiful. The way they were lined up so perfectly blowing in the wind, and each to honor a loved one. Words escape me.

It was a great experience photographing them. 

don't you wish your crayons were shaped like snowflakes.

Pintrist is a wonderful place, full of all kinds of fun things to try. 

Today's project, brought to you by Pintrist was re-forming crayons. Now you can't tell me that these aren't cool. 

It was very simple. 

Target had snow flake silicone pans for $2. So I got one (now I kinda wish I'd gotten two, but O well). 

Next to the dollar store for crayons. 

Then peal off the paper wrappers, and break up the crayons.

Put the pieces in the silicone pan. I didn't grease it or anything, After being baked they poped out quite nicely.

I baked these lovely snow flakes at 350 degrees for about 15 minuets, or until completely melted.  

After I took them out of the oven, I let them cool. Trust me, you don't want to even try to take them out of the pan until they have completely cooled. They break. 

Pop them out and get your coloring on!

 These lovely little snow flake crayons will be Christmas presents for Sunday School, as well as some cute little second cousins of mine. 

fall.

Fall is such a pretty time of the year. These are a little late in the season, but I think the colors are still beautiful.

So I found these great Crayons at Rite Aid. 

Who says crayones are just for kids.

One thing that makes the seasons so interesting is that you see things differently. There are always so many interesting things to see.

And the best part is that you never know where you will find it. 

Things just look different. 

The light is different.

The color is different.

Always an adventure.
