WHITE Is A Color Too!

Sunday Funnies: Literal Translation

This week's bad joke (probably my new favorite one too):


A priest, a rabbi, and a Muslim walk into to a bar.  The bar tender says, what is this, a joke?

No People Eaters But We've Got PURPLE

Mood & Tone

These are personal favorites for no other explainable reason other than I like their mood and tone.

 'Red chair, Green Buddha'

 'Natural Light on Fake Plant'

 'Solitude'

 'Window Dressing In Stitches'

'Butt On In'

(The Chicago icon, Billy Goat Tavern.  No photos inside, but through the door window is fine.)

Those Moody Blues

While I was looking through photographs for this color post, I found it a little ironic I had so many shots with blue the central color...compensating for the lack of the hue in nature...possibly...

'Harring In Pieces'

' Waiting Memorial'

'Jacob's Ladder'

'Warm Wacker, Cool Chicago'

Late Lament


Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent


Impassioned lovers wrestles as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young


Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decided which is right 
And which is an illusion?
~Graeme Edge from the song Nights in White Satin

GREEN As Islands In The Sea*

*from The Color Kittens (a Little Golden Book) written by Margaret Wise Brown

 "The Birches"

 Fence posts designed by Louis Sullivan

 Central Camera

Marshall Field's Department Store Clock

(Macy's took over the building a few years ago; 
nothing will raise the ire of a Chicagoan 
than to refer to MF's clock as  the Macy's clock)

YELLOW Mellow?

 "Big Bertha's Joint"

 "Chicago Loop"

"Lemon Heads"

The Purity Fades

Victorian flower meaning for the white rose:  purity


There is something so sweet and sad as the bloom wains, but no less intriguing... these are from the unattended rose bush I discovered the other day...

ORANGE You Glad...

A National Treasure, 

Ken Nordine gives his take on 

ORANGE!
