The colors from the crayola box this week are:

Thanks to Tourmalinenow for the Color Your World Challenge. Hmmm, some of these colors are suspiciously similar to previous weeks. Damn it, Crayola! At least black is a color I can heartily endorse!

Electric Lime: back to the Philly Auto Show
Sky Blue: on the Irish Coast (Dingle Bay)

3. Banana mania: this does not resemble the color of any banana I’ve ever seen, but the dog’s coat is kind of that color. And he is a banana so… here’s Jay Dog!

4. Sunset orange: at the ballpark last summer

5. Purple pizzazz AND 6. Blue violet: another night at the ballpark:

7. Black: branches against a grey, rainy sky

Here are the colors for this week’s Color Your World Challenge by Tourmaline

I have resumed working on my novel Here Lies a Soldier – a story that is set in both modern day and in the time of the First World War. As I opened up the Pages file and dusted off my notebook, I was reminded of my 2013 trip to the Flanders region of Belgium – where many of the dreadful battles of The Great War were fought. Many of the fallen soldiers from both sides of the conflict are buried here. We visited two of the Commonwealth cemeteries just outside of Ypres and toured the ‘Flanders Fields War Museum’ -a very somber and moving experience. This week’s photos are from this trip.

1. Asparagus: the shade of the grass at Bedford House Cemetery outside of Ypres.

2. Aquamarine: the backdrop to a display of gas masks used during the Great War, In Flanders Fields Museum, Ypres (the color is a bit of a stretch, I admit…)
