Oregon Coast near Lincoln City, Oregon.
This is our first week of a new series that I am calling a Habits and the 5 Senses.
This week’s topic is the colors of the sense of seeing. This week you can post anything that stimulates or delights you visually. Be creative and have fun. Feel free to dig around in your archives for photos if you don’t have anything new you can photograph. Most of all I hope you have fun.

My Entry for the Week
This was not an easy challenge for me since I am an extremely visual person. Almost everything delights me. So I went through my already edited photos and found a few from different genres that just spoke to me today.
A nice slightly overcast day at Roads End Beach in Lincoln City, Oregon.
A rose. I think this is about as perfect as they come. The background was real dark so I just had to darken the shadows to create the black background. Photo taken at a local farm.
I was just captivated watching these two adorable kids playing at a local coffee shop one morning.
This one of my most favorite dahlia photos I’ve taken. It’s called the Oregon Reign. I love the outline on the petals.
Qi (energy) hugs,
Cee
I can see why you like that dahlia Cee – it is simply gorgeous!
