Here is the shade and my gallery contribution to the challenge.

Color Your World Red

Today I am coloring my world PLAIN OLD RED.

I almost thought all the regular old colors had been done away with for colors made out of the letter “z” : Purple Pizzazz, Razzmatazz, Razzle Dazzle Rose… But here we are doing RED!

In case it’s been too long since you have seen just red it looks like this

And here is my version of red

Color Your World: Razzmatazz

The name of this next color gives no hint whatsoever as to what shade it might take. the color we are working with this morning is RAZZMATAZZ.

You can find loads of razzmatazz by clicking the underlined link and every razzmatazz photo should come out looking a little like this

All these varying shades of hot pink are driving me a little dotty. I’m having a hard time telling one from another. I think this is more of a Rosa Ragosa than anything else.

Color Your World: Razzle Dazzle Rose

This morning I have come to the part of Jennifer’s challenge at which I must find the color RAZZLE DAZZLE ROSE among my photos.

Here is the shade I am matching

This is suspiciously close to purple pizzazz. Strangely it even has the same number of z’s

You can choose your favorite Razzle Dazzle photo and tell me which one you think comes the closest.

Color Your World: Raw Sienna

I am catching up fast to our color challenger Jennifer. This has been a race in which I have spent most of the run at least two laps behind. I almost get caught up and then I fall back not being able to quite keep a steady pace.

This afternoon’s color is RAW SIENNA.

Before I began this challenge I would have called this tan. Now I know better. 🙂

The fields aren’t brown, that house isn’t yellow. This is raw sienna. Now I know! 🙂

Color Your World: Radical Red

As the afternoon creeps up on us I am posting about the color RADICAL RED.

I am posting this one ahead of time as I have a funeral to sing later this morning and will be away from phone and computer for probably quite a while.

I am glad for the color red. It reminds me of the blood of Christ which our congregant, David, rested his hope of eternity on. That blood has never lost its power. This is a fitting week to celebrate the power of the blood and the hope we have in Christ. Our hope never becomes more poignant than in the face of death.

 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[f]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man,so shall we[g] bear the image of the heavenly man.

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”[i]

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:35-56

Now that is the power of the blood of Christ. Here is the power of RADICAL RED

This is definitely radical for a photography post, but then I guess this is why they call me a Christian artist. Check out other radical links by clicking the underlined words above.

 

Color Your World: Purple Pizzazz

This morning I am searching for anything in the shade of PURPLE PIZZAZ.

It’s kind of a dim hot pink don’t you think. I suppose purple pizzazz sounds better than any color starting with the word dim.

Once again my sky photos come to my aid in finding anything purply-pink
