Color Your World Scarlet

I am still keeping pace with the pack as I post my blog on the topic of SCARLET.

You can click on the link above to see all the scarlet posts.

The word scarlet always reminds me of that verse from the Book of Isaiah

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isa 1:18 KJV

This is the shade

And here are my attempts at matching it.

Weekly Travel Theme: Sensory

It has been a while since I have participated in the Travel Challenge hosted by Ailsa.

This week Ailsa has asked us to display photos from our travels that awaken the senses.

I can still hear this old man playing Joplin in Keene NH. The sound was floating through the Old colony Mill Mall and I was drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

The cold breath of winter’s wind still chills me as I remember a snowy walk in downtown Winchendon and I can feel the warmth of the rising sun over the surf in Oguncquit Maine.

Lavender

The sweet scent of wisteria surrounds me as I think back to my walk through Longwood Gardens last June.

And of course no sensory post would be complete without the bitter sweet taste of a cup o’ Joe. This one is from Fruitlands in Acton Ma
