Snow Color

Why do somethings lie dormant for years and years, then suddenly seem pop up into your world? This happened to me yesterday driving up on the Eastern Prom. I had been motoring thru the city for an hour or so in the snow and was about to head home when some color caught my eye. I inquired of myself. Did I just see that? I backed up, not an easy task in the rutted snowfall. I said to myself my, my, my. Look at this. These three colorful buildings, I had never caught sight of before. Sometimes I see things in the snow that I drive by continuously and not notice. Is it like fog to me, bringing forth those muted colors? Like rain that heightens autumn's foliage and just seems to 'turn up the volume'? Maybe it's just one of those simple mysteries of nature.
What gives?

Mustard brown, pink, light blue
All in a string.
Where have you been
All of my life?

  1. Beautiful color against the snow. I bet when those trees are full of leaves, you wouldn't be able to spot all those colors at all.

  2. Sort of sounds like the Viking Cruises commercial--the one where the guy says that travel gives you "new eyes". :-)

  5. That's why paintings are framed: to allow to see them better. So did snow for you.

  6. There is so little colour around at this time of year that they must have stood out brightly against all the snow!

  7. I would call you mystical but I think you're mostly mysterious. All colors look better when surrounded by white. Maybe you have snow all year and you could stay as excited as you are!

    55+ = wood? You're in big trouble in Florida! Beware if you're driving through Ocala 'cause a lot of Oak Runians are looking for you, would you should you show up in these here parts!

  8. Everything definitely has its own place and time in our lives. Meanwhile we keep the blinders on to what we don't need or aren't ready for it seems. They are pretty aren't they?
