This is my usual monthly challenge Pick a Word but this time it is about colours.
Here is what I had in mind for the start of the year:
CORDOVAN
PUCE
VERDIGRIS
TURQUOISE
SMARAGDINE

I would be happy if you could join me once again and post a photo or photos for any or several or all of the cited colours.
You do landscapes so well, Paula!

It’s great to have this challenge back, it’s one of my favourites! I love how you used water for many of your images, showing just how varied it can be 🙂
Choosing some colours made for an interesting exercise, especially as a couple of the words were new to me and I found the shades a bit similar 😏 I hope you like what I came up with: https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/gallery-pick-a-word-january-2025/

Beautiful images Paula and I had never heard of some of these colour names, even though I’ve seen these colours often in nature 💚 My contribution for this month’s lovely challenge is here: https://tranature.com/2025/01/19/silent-sunday-flowing-through-the-forest/

Beautiful selection of colors/words and photos… such a great diversity of feeling with these shots. The puce photo may be my favorite, as I could imagine myself sitting and getting lost in this scene for quite a while… but the excitement of verdigris attracts me; there is something so very alive with this shot. 🙂 Happy Year of the 🐍
