Oh, brown. You don’t have a fancy-sounding name as so many of the other crayons, and you’re tricky to photograph just like the purples. Way back when we did sepia and I compared it to brown, I intended to post a shot of the color of my hair for this week’s shot.. but when it came down to it I just… didn’t. So you’ll just have to trust me that this mug is perfectly brown in person.

White was this week’s color for sixty-four colors, and admittedly, I was a little hesitant at the beginning of the week. It took an impromptu trip to the boardwalk in Asbury Park to spark my creative juices, but then, I always love taking pictures there. (Although I’m beginning to fear that I’ll soon reach the limit and have taken pictures of everything interesting there… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.) And then I found so many cool shots for white in my archives that I couldn’t limit it to just a few. Or maybe the shots of snowy winters are especially charming just because it’s the middle of August.

Sky blue was a fun one, and not just because the crayon isn’t as much like the color of the actual sky as you’d expect. Some of the archive shots are film ones, which fits in neatly with my recent obsession with film, too.

Goldenrod is a funny color, because the crayon itself looks all boring and drab and dull… but then you color with it and it’s one of the cheeriest yellows out there. And yellow is one of my favorite colors to look for in the wild, even better that I already had sunflowers sitting on my dining room table when I found out this week’s color. It’s just happy, heart of the summer stuff. Which is always, always a good thing.
