Speaking of Color and Christmas....

I passed this neighbor's house on my walk..glorious color!

Heavenly Bamboo bush, lovely reds, greens, yellows, purples..



On my morning walk I found examples of reds and greens working together nicely. They are opposite on the color wheel; complimentary. Both of these pictures show good value; balance of light and dark, the recipe for good eye movement, allowing your eye to 'see' detail.
More on color to come...

Red and green do indeed look great together. Nice 'hobby' to go colour hunting!

Love the bamboo bush (never heard of it before) - such pretty colours. Not so sold on the inflatable things though - I guess I'm too much of a traditionalist with Christmas decorating.

I know, the inflatable Christmas decor is really gauche, but what color !!

Thank you, Queenie, I do like to color hunt.
