Seen at the Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival, No. 18, July 3, 2014 - a couple of color-coordinated ladies

Color and its presence in more that one aspect is something I notice all of the time. Color almost always entices me to take a photo--as long as I have the time to get the camera in place. Naturally, I couldn't resist these two color-coordinated ladies sitting not too far from me. The lady with the chartreuse jacket--I wonder if she realizes her clothing totally matches her friend's chair? And the lady with the chartreuse chair cover, wearing the purple top. Did she wear it because it matches the purple case on her phone? Finally, take look at their hair, so close in color. I'm tickled that I got this photo of these two in the crowd at the blues fest.

Memorial Day at Schreiner's Iris Gardens - I keep going back to take a look at these beautifully presented flowers. Today, all sorts of purples, lavenders and blues.

I took this photo while seated on a sturdy white bench. It's great to get this perspective without worrying about wobbling due to 66-year-old legs/knees and my general lack of being balanced.

These flower beds are in the area farthest from the parking lot, well worth the walk which is either on grass or a hard-packed dirt path. Lots of shade, too.

These are called Astro Blue.

Creamy columbine blossoms among the purples and the blues.

The iris Berry Fulfilling and a whole lot of two-colored columbines.

A rhododendron and lots of hostas on that dirt path. Such a pretty place to walk.
