Colorful

*Red Blue Green Yellow* A delightful poem about color and life, if you have the time.

 ~Mother's Quilt Top~

All of Donna's challenges present one for me. This time was no different as there is nearly zero color out of doors —— certainly no riot of color in the garden. It's a bland, bland May. I was explaining this to Donna and she came up with suggestions. I remembered the quilt top folded in a bottom dresser drawer that my mother was making for herself from all the scraps that had gone into the quilts she had made for others. I've always thought of it as an intriguing combination of colors.

First I resize rarely using more than 700 width. If a photo nearly fills the page when opened, that is good enough for me; I am also frugal and don't wish to pay for storage space. 

Next I used the free program Photoscape to bump contrast and to sharpen. This time, I pushed the colors further with color enhance. Both photos were taken on the macro setting. I used a Nikon Coolpix P7100 on Auto Setting. 

Thanks for stopping by. I'm linking to *Donna's Personal Photo Challenge.* Thanks, Donna, for all the hard work of gathering information and sharing ideas and cheering us on!
