Simon is in a funk. If freezing temps and endless cold rainy weather followed you well into June you might be in one too. Sure, it's green out there but we don't have the splashes of color one might associate with this time of year. Instead, I have stalks of frozen bamboo leaves and not a flower in sight.

Your mission is to cheer Simon up with COLOR! I love contrast and lately realize my work has fairly consistently been more of a monotone palette. Help me mix it up a little bit.

Show me some color! It can come in any form,all media most welcome, be it flowery, or what have you...

Please help Simon out of her funk.

How about next Monday afternoon I'll go ahead and pick the next Simon. Yes, you have one week to blow my mind! (It's partially there already, lol).

Oh for fun Alma! Lots of color in that one! clap clap!

Hey Muriel, my bleeding hearts are just starting to come out now. I'll have to go for the "this year" photo and see what happens! Oh, and I must be getting inspired as I made a green and pink stone necklace today!
