This week, Sofia is asking us to think BOLD. COLOR! That’s what I think of when I hear bold. I am attracted to bright, deep and bold colors. I’m also attracted to angles when I see them, especially when they are straight, angular and bold. This rooftop fits that bill.

Now let’s get to my favorite subject of color. Here are two samples of what I like.


Next are bold designs.




When it comes to flowers, sometimes less color can bring out the bold, especially in a single floral photograph. This flower just fills the frame with its bold burst.

I love signs, especially when they are meaningful, funny or just eye catching.




I’ll end with colorful wall and window designs at our local Crocker Art Museum.

Thank you Sofia, for brightening my morning. I love this challenge. When you respond to Sofia’s challenge, please link your to her original post and use the Lens-Artist tag. Last week Ann-Christine challenged us to post just one meaningful image. I enjoyed seeing and reading your responses. Next up is John to challenge us, so be sure to look for his post.
In the meantime, stay safe and live in gratitude!

I love me some Sam Spade — like Bogart in The Maltese Falcon. Of course, the original sign read “Spade and Archer”, until Miles Archer took a classic Film Noir exit at the hands of femme fatale Brigid O’Shaughnessy.

It was airing for free on Tubi TV, but just rotated off the schedule. You could pay $3.99 to rent it at YouTube or Amazon, but I’ve got you covered. The film is archived and can be watched for free at the Internet Archive.
