Searching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Pink

The colour for November is Pink. I went through the gallery of pictures on my phone and found quite a few pinks.  

Our wooden deck one wet evening turned an unusual shade of pink in the afterglow of the setting sun. 

 The butcher's shop. green outside and pink inside!

 Double petal begonias which fell off the plant because of their weight and I put them in a small glass to enjoy them a little bit longer.

Beans. Each pod had different coloured beans. Quite amazing. Locally called Avarakai.

One more month for the end of this year. December is bloggers choice. I still have to decide which colour to showcase.

Check out Jennifer or Julie's blogs to view what participants this month have discovered and decided to share on their blogs.

Serching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Grey

The colour Grey has been assigned for October and here's what I found.

This one is from my archives. A pigeon feather suspended in mid air. The feather got caught in a spider web and stayed suspended for a couple of weeks. In Bangalore there were many pigeons who had made the apartment building their home and I used to collect the pigeon feathers on my morning walks.

 Monsoon a fiber book I made earlier this year. Grey wood of the deck and grey shibori applique.

Grey granite paving stones edged with white river pebbles. This is in the driveway of a restaurant.

Metal dies in the second hand shop.

A stack of circular brushes for some industrial use.

There's just two months left this year. November and December.

Searching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Metallic Gold

It's time for Roy once again and metallic gold it is. 

 Wrappers of butter toffee and the first lily to bloom in the garden. Unfortunately it got blown off its stem by the strong wind blowing one night.

Five rupee coins  glinting gold in the change bowl.

I'm late posting this month but the date just sneaked up on me.

This month it's brown we're looking for and there's no dearth of it in my surroundings. Here's a selection of things which have been keeping me on my toes.

 

Trying to understand the secret lives of bees. The Queen bee surrounded by her courtiers. Our first attempt at bee keeping.   

Early morning visitors - Gaur or Bison, wandering through the pruned tea bushes.

White tea brewed from tea leaves plucked from the tea bushes before they were pruned.

 Rusty metal bits.

I'm terribly late this month.
This picture is from my archives. A picture of a Chihulysque type glass chandelier.
Dale Chihuly creates magic with glass. I have a couple of his books and I got to view some of the magic at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Searching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Blue

Time for Roy G Biv this month has rolled around.

I've had to dive into my archives for some pictures and others were snapped with my phone in the last couple of days.

On the highway between Bangalore and Mysore which we travelled on frequently in the past three years.Small trucks transporting cows was a common sight.

Men drinking tea and reading the newspaper early in the morning at a small tea stall somewhere on the Bangalore Mysore highway.I took this picture for the moulded plastic chairs. These inexpensive, easy to maintain, stackable chairs are everywhere, I'm taking pictures of these chairs inorder to document the varied environments these chairs are found in. 

Flaking wall painted with the address of a store. 

Blue window frames of a building I pass on the road home.
