Returning to color.....

After completing "Blood Butterfly" other bloggers suggested I embrace ALL colors again. Ever since, I've been on a quest for every hue not just one.

And so the journey begins.....

With time to kill before work, I wanted to sit by the lakefront.

Look what I found waiting for me.....

What the what?!?

This is definitely new.

Running along the median strip at Congress Pkwy in Grant Park were brightly painted planks and 2x4's.

Of various heights and widths, they were intermixed with the flowers and shrubbery.

Look at all that thick wood!

*blushes*

I found it an odd way to decorate a garden space especially in the heart of the city yet it did add instant color and structure to this narrow patch of green.

Affordable, practical, and unique!

Those cosmos really POP against the lime green coleus and the sky blue boards!

Do you see the Willis Sears Tower?

And if you think about it, the posts do mimic the towering skyline.

Interesting.....

Buckingham Fountain in the distance.....

A winning combination!

I've been having such a rough time and needed something like this.

Thank you, my dear Windy City.

Slowly but surely I'm returning to color.
