Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: #98 DELICATE COLORS

This week’s challenge from Ann-Christine gives us a chance to explore Delicate Colors; beautiful, soft shades of color blending into each other. Being surrounded by these lovely colors can be  soothing and relaxing in spite of the hectic world we live in now. 🙃  Delicate Colors are all around us, waiting to be discovered when outside and one with nature.               Ann-Christine shows beautiful examples of delicate colors she found in her garden and neighboring forest.

“There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another.” – Edouard Manet

Each of these pictures show a different color palette that only mother-nature can create so perfectly.  All were taken on Kiawah Island where it is easy to go out and explore nature.  Editing was done with Topaz software for the first three pictures, I wanted to create a soft, abstract, surreal feeling. 

Hope you enjoy these!

Hope everyone is coping well as this coronavirus pandemic continues to change lives around the world.
