Besides all the tan there were pops of beautiful turquoise. So much turquoise! Turquoise jewelry... turquoise clay pots... turquoise shutters... turquoise doors... turquoise in silver.
I don't know when I've ever taken so few photos on a trip as this one. But when I got home and scrolled trough all the photos that I did take, nearly all of them were of colorful doorsteps, window boxes, and pretty front porches. Apparently, May is also the month of lilacs in Santé Fe. I did take lots of great photos of lilacs. Maybe some of them will end up in a painting one of these days.

Someday when I get back to Santa Fe, I'm going to do a photo study of doors, and windows, and shadows. While I see a lot of neutral colors, my mind goes to all the colorful doors and flowers. It's a colorful city, in many different ways!
ReplyDeleteThat's a positive, colorful idea.
DeleteI remember a lot of tan in Santa Fe too. Fortunately, there are also pops of bright colors everywhere. I think I also came home with lots of door and gate photos.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all those colorful doors, shutters, and pots are able to pop so brightly because of all the tan. It is a beautiful city in its own special way.
