Yakima Arboretum, Yakima, WA
Full fall color is all around us. For the next several posts, I will share some of the autumn wonder that has caught my eye.
Summer beauty has past.
Fall gradually flows to winter.
The memory remains.
“Peaches”
Capitol Hill Eastern Market, Washington DC
Fresh produce is the center piece of any Market. Ripe peaches made my mouth water.
A stroll through a Market brings something for all senses: sight, smell, feel, smell, and sounds. This day on a warm summer Sunday Morning offered it all.
“More Hats”
Capitol Hill Eastern Market, Washington DC
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, hats were everywhere in the Market. They were different colors, different shapes, and different textures. A stacked set of colors and repeating lines caught my eye here. It was pure “eye candy”

Color and shapes, color and shapes, color and shapes … that is what caught my eye here. As I looked at this scene, I squinted my eyes and a different image appeared. Below depicts what I visualized.

Color was everywhere I turned in the Market. Here the diagonal lines and the beautiful color of the fabric scarves grabbed me.

I enjoy strolling around various places just looking around. If something catches my eye, I stop, look, and try to determine what attracted my attention to the scene. I then try tp compose an image to display that spark of interest. The shapes of the displayed masks plus the bright reds and whites caught my eye here.
During the next several posts, I will try to present the diversity of the Washington DC, Capitol Hill East Market.

Could this be an abstract of the rings of Saturn … No, it is just a hat. But is it a hat … Not really, to me it is a cool collection of curved lines and textures.
Table, Chair, and Two Glasses
Looking for contrasts, I stumbled upon this color contrast of a yellow chair and a blue table. The transparent fragile glasses also added a little context contrast to the sturdy chair and table. I added a tittle Topaz Impression to give the simple image a little more interest.
A.E. Larson Building Entry Foyer, Yakima, WA
This image ties the images from the two prior posts together. The contrast here are the differences in the design elements (triangular geometric vs. sweeping curves, color vs. monochrome, and smooth marble vs. sculptured metal). The horizontal (diagonal) lines of the cornice moulding and the vertical lines of the wall designs also provide a geometric contrast.

This post continues my self-assignment to look for contrasts. This image was taken from the same location as my previous post. It is the corner of the wall/ceiling cornice moulding. I saw the contrast of colors, shapes, lines and light/shadows. The foyer of this historic building is full of “eye candy”.
