iPhone Photography: crayfish color palette

This colour palette based on a photo I snapped at our annual crayfish party this weekend. Late summer brings out fiery reds, hot oranges and darker blue skies. Colour is one of the things that inspire me deeply. Colour sensations can light me up, illuminate me with joy.

A crayfish party sounds like a perfect way to commemorate the beautiful summer you had. I loved being able to follow along throughout the season.
You and your love affair with colour! ;-) I think that’s what I like most about you. Your collection of links to all things palettes looks like so much fun. I will be putting my feet up and checking these out during our long weekend we have coming up for Labor Day. Thank you!
