Can't resist those scrumptious colors!
The world is a carousel of color,
Wonderful, wonderful color.
The world is a carousel of color,
History, comedy, fantasy,
There’s drama and mirth,
There’s old mother earth
With all of her secrets to see.

If you are of a certain age, you may remember this as the theme song of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, one of the first regularly broadcast color programs on television in the United States. Sadly, we did not have a color television at the time this song was used, but the song made its impression.
I enjoy color combinations, whether it's in jewelry design, clothing choices, or just watching to world go by.
When Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime sent us our photo prompt this week "Color/Colour," I thought of the watercolor wheel I made some time ago.
Could I use the same idea with photography?
How's this?
