Photo Blogging Challenge – Colour (April 2017)

We don't always realize how much the presence (or absence) of colour influences how we're feeling. But the range and depth of our response to colour is embedded in language: seeing red, feeling blue, mellow yellow and "orange ya glad" are some of the common English phrases that reflect the influence of colour on emotion. So when winter hangs around longer usual, leaving the landscape drab and a little depressing, it's a challenge to spot uplifting splashes of colour in nearby nature.
