This blog went daily a little over a year ago and I have been fortunate to have a lot of new followers come along for the ride since. I have recently began reposting popular photos I placed on this blog a year ago. This post was for a WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge that ran a year ago today. I see a lot of colors and hues in my travels around the Mid Atlantic region of the U.S. Whether it is an umbrella on a rainy day in Grantsville, MD, above, there is always color to be found. (please see below for additional photos and text)

While on a commercial shoot in Fredericksburg, Va., I was drawn to this colorful window display in a downtown shop.

This photo was taken in Loudon County, Va., where a small group of flowers added some brightness to an otherwise dreary weathered house.

Thanks so much for dropping my blog today! Rob
