Life in colour : January Brown

A sparkling new year with so much anticipation connected to it. Jude is hosting a new challenge. Each month she will choose a colour for us to search for in our life. This month it is brown.

Every morning I walk around the garden, so today I took the camera looking for “brown”. Of course the soil is brown, but at this time of the year it is covered in a thick coat of sugar cane mulch to protect it from the heat. The only other browns I found were dead or dying things. But they are beautiful in their own way…

The Banksia, as they die, turn into a fluffy milk chocolate coloured cones. When the fluff rubs off they make interesting objects. 

Tree trunks are the classic browns of all shades in the landscape. This is the tall Silky Oak at the bottom of our garden.

Next week I will look through my art work as brown is a popular colour I use.

Thanks Jude I think this will be a popular challenge. Check here for the challenge rules
