This post is part of the #colorchallenge organized by 
My BodaciousBlooms help illustrate the range of my artistic style; I'm a pretty eclectic gal. I do tend to default to the macro view of things though force myself to "see the forest for the trees" every once in a while.
The first photo was taken in Big Sur. The golden poppy is California's state flower and we have seen them in abundance this year. I really love how the pollen is glistens in the sunshine.
The second photo is a new design of mine. I spoke in my "introduce yourself" post about my newest obsession with taking my photos and turning them into these kaleidoscopic patterns through cropping, flipping, stitching all the parts back together, recoloring, etc. This one really packs a punch!
Enjoy your TuesdayOrange and I look forward to seeing you rise to this wonderful ColorChallenge.
