Color My World - a photo challenge

This month's photo challenge topic was: colorful. I knew that I would use pictures I had already taken, because color always catches my eye. I carry my Nikon Coolpix camera with me everywhere I go now, and I continually embarrass my family by taking pictures of anything I see. 

All of these pictures were taken a few summers ago in Wausau, Wisconsin, a city just down the road from where I live. My daughter lives there now, so I visit close to once a week. 

The first picture is of a bench inside a Mexican restaurant. Most of the Mexican restaurants I have been to have vibrant colors and designs. I would love to have this kind of color inside my house. 

 This antique bike is outside of a shop called Evolutions in Design. I posted pictures from there once before. I love how the yellow bike sticks out amongst the rusty and dusty objects and little potted plants.

 Every year Wausau hosts Chalk Fest in July. Artists of all calibers chalk their work on the sidewalks throughout a downtown park. All the time and effort they put into their art, for it to be washed away during the next rain. Such a shame, but maybe that is part of what art is - a fleeting moment in time.

I hope you enjoyed these pictures. When I first downloaded them onto my computer, I did a little work to bring out the color, to crop, or whatever. I didn't do any further editing for this photo challenge.
