Colour Week: Brown

BROWN: Earth, order, dependable, stable, grounded. The colour makes me feel comfortable and warm.

My mum hates it that I wear so much brown. If she had her way, I would be probably dressed mostly in yellow!

I like dangly earrings.

Shells that whisper secrets of the seas.

I'm not a coffee drinker. But I thought the layers in this latte looked good enough ... for a photo!

An old door handle.

The brown bear hanging onto the wall light in the kids' room.

Hero's beloved Trudi taking a rest on Em's bed.

Who says weeds can't be pretty?

I love the textures of tree trunks and branches.

Their grooves and their patterns.

Fallen brown leaves.

When I just think of brown I think it's a dull color. But my life is covered with it. My home is totaly in earthy brown/beige shades. So I'll guess brown is also one of my favorites too. It provides so much calmness. I on the other hand would love a coffe like that...

Ohhhh - I love brown and wear it all of the time. I have to keep stopping myself from buying just 1 more brown blouse or sweater. I love it's warm, rich color... and of course it is the color of coffee and chocolate!

Love your shoe and dangles!

I love browns earthy groundedness. Makes me think of cinnamon, chocolate, coffee... yum!
And warmth. I love that you included brown in your week!

Isn't it interesting how we resonate with some colors and not others? I loved the shells and the latte layers, but all in all, I was drawn to the whites of yesterday rather than today's browns.

Oh I agree, Meri. In all, I think I liked the whites, the reds and the blues the most this whole week. But since I was on a roll with the whole colour thing, I had to include brown, since i do like its warmth and homeliness.

I think brown is so lovely though, as you've shown with your awesome pix. It's often a color that's overlooked, which is sad.

Such gorgeous browns. I'm dying over those earrings.

I too love the color and texture of tree trunks and branches. But I tell ya, every morning I yearn for that brown coffee!

What a great idea to include brown and white in colour week. I've enjoyed all of your photos over the past week. Thanks for sharing them.

Your brown pictures are so eclectic and so pretty! I wear a lot of brown too. Brown is under-rated :)
