The crazy colors and lights in the lobby of Compuware Headquarters in Detroit looked more like the inside of a kaleidoscope to me!

My favorite lunch spot in all of Mexico! Well, at least my favorite lunch spot in the greater Playa del Carmen area, the Turtle Bay Cafe! Everything was fresh and delicious. This festive table also made for a great lunch before snorkeling in the bay with sea turtles.

An interesting sculpture in Sacramento that contains almost every color of the rainbow. The way this shot turned out reminded me a little bit of the colors of Easter so this was a good day to post it. I took this in front of what used to be a paint store, so the wild display of colors makes perfect sense.

I’m going to break away from my winter theme for a bit and go back to warm and sunny Bangkok, Thailand. This is a very typical line up of taxi cabs and tuk tuks. I think they try to differentiate themselves with bright colors, very different than the typical yellow we get here in the United States. It was chaos at every intersection, with cars, tuk tuks and motorbikes all racing each other trying to get through the busy streets.

This is an image of the oil paints of my favorite artist! I may be a little partial, but that really isn’t the point. I saw these colorful paints in the studio and knew that I had to do something with them. While I don’t like this image as much as the paintings that they will become, I still think the colors all lined up in a row made an image with some great contrast.

Those of you who know me know that this is one of my favorite photos. If you haven’t seen it, consider this my Christmas present to you. The gift that keeps on giving, the gift of peppers!
This was taken in Seattle at the farmer’s market. First, I spent some time taking pictures of some not very photogenic fish. Those pics aren’t really photo blog worthy. These peppers on the other hand were certainly my favorite shot of the day!

The tomato, your nemesis and mine. Ok, maybe just mine. I have to admit I am not a fan of this fruit, but I found these colorful and interesting enough to put aside my personal prejudice and take this shot at the San Francisco Farmer’s Market. I hope you enjoy it, I have to look away now…

The colorful ribbons on the front of longtail boats in Thailand are to protect the boat and it’s passengers and ensure a save voyage.  My trip was safe and the voyage was amazing.  This line up of boats was on the islands of Koh Phi Phi.  The water was perfectly clear and the beach itself was just pristine!
