Array of Color
May 16, 2012 
On a day that's been mostly wet..and mostly grey - I couldn't help but be drawn to the unexpected color.
It was just over the bend..and around the corner. It was - where I'm sure it's been for years and years and years before. Funny that as many times as I'd walked this path - I'd never noticed.
A rainbow - of sorts.
A jaw-dropping..eye-catching array.
I wondered how it is I was going to capture the sight with my camera's lens. How it was that I might frame it in a way that others might see what I could.
Sure did make me smile and laugh aloud - to find something new...when I was certain there was nothing.
Never say never.
If you seek...you shall find.
Don't think..just do. The prize is always in the process.

This is fabulous and so true . You can find the colours and shapes out there in the most unexpected places! We need the people who perceive this! Thank you...
A colorful miracle! Great eye! Love the blur.
A big yes to the fabulous colors and your composition.
thanks for ending my day with a color blast!
Beautiful colors and composition Marcie!
It's fresh and i love it ;-)
I love the simplicity of your rainbow Marcie... i took pictures of a thunderstorm today... i got my prize too....peter:)
well spotted and well framed
Great colors, so vivid
Always so easy to declare there is nothing to photograph . . and a mistake to ever think so.
Beautiful colors.
great job with the blur and colors
Marcie, Your recent posts have been addressing the "creative valley" I have been experiencing of late and providing me with inspiration and motivation. The prize truly is in the process. Thanks for nudging me to seek and find.
The prize is in the process! So true!!!
What vibrant color! You give good advice - I feel as if I'm running out of ideas in my immediate neighborhood when it comes to taking photos. I need to go at it with fresh eyes, I think.
Isn't that the amazing thing about photography? The ability to give you gifts like these - to see something old and it becomes new. To find surprises around familiar corners. (I am reading "The Practice of Contemplative Photography" - this image is the very definition of the first "color" exercise. Thanks for the inspiration!)
Wonderful image!
This reminds me of all those times I walked back-n-forth to school, Marcie, and then in shock saw something for the very first time that had been there all along! I know that feeling. But I don't recall it ever being this colorful!
Marcie - you are truly a kindred spirit! This is beautiful! My mom, my greatest life teacher, had inscribed in one of the many books she gave me: "I discovered a whole low octave on the flute last week. I was thrilled. It's good to be capable of being surprised and thrilled. Love to you. ArtistaMama" She was also a Seeker of Magic....and a teacher of magic. Thank you again for sharing your spirit and soul.
Stunning colours, Marcie. I like the softish focus effect too.
This is so cool...
'A jaw-dropping eye-catching array'. So true. Great capture!
YES!
Wonderfully colored frame.
I love your vivid "rainbow," Marcie. My curiosity wants to know what it is, but my heart says it's enough just that it is.
Its funny how we don't notice the beauty around us.
Très joli, comme tout ce que tu composes.
You have such a creative eye Marcie--love this colorful find!
I couldn't agree with your comments more. Just like flowers in the garden, colour seems to come to life on those grey days when we expect it least. A great shot Marcie.
Electric color and interesting shapes.
nothing like looking at vibrant colors to brighten up your mood.. :)
