Bewildering
The Call: What the …? — Cheryl
A pair of pink boxing gloves on a ladder must seem strange to some (most?) people. Believe it or not, there’s a logical explanation, and here it is: Dennis finally painted the stairway today (it has sported five or six shades for about two years now). When he couldn’t find one of the rubber “booties” that go on the ends of the ladder to protect the walls, he simply substituted my pink boxing gloves.
The Response: A Blur of Color — Jessica
After five long months of grey and brown and dead sticks everywhere, Virginia has finally burst into pinks and whites and yellows and a million shades of green. It’s almost bewildering to see all this color after the long dreary winter. And, I’m sorry Cheryl, I don’t mean to be rubbing it in — I know you guys are about a month behind us…feel free to regal me with pictures of beautiful days and evenings in August when we are melting in the heat and humidity. ; )
So is that the new color or the old color? Wow! I imagine your house is like a crayon box with each room another beautiful, brilliant color! : )
It’s the old color. Although we really like it, the stairway needed more light. The new color is a pale blue.
As for your shot, it’s most interesting. How did you accomplish it? Lensbaby, double exposure, blending of two shots in Photoshop? Don’t worry about rubbing it in. We’re greening up here, and I’m seeing new blossoms every day, including patches of dandelions here and there. I find that bewildering. They usually show up much later in the season.
