MY TRUE COLOURS



Since Seth's last few posts have revolved around the book True Colors , I've been pondering over my own true colours and what they mean to me.



Rich earthy, spicy, colours ...... ochre, rust and kaki green....

Tribal colours contrasting with black and white ......





....the colours of pebbles and driftwood,





rusted metal and patinaed wood....





the colours of Africa .......




..... and a touch of delicate china blue.
