ROY Warm Hues

I've created this Warm Hues group as a counterpart to my Cool Hues group. I decided the rest of the color spectrum deserved equal time.

I listed the warm "ROY" colors (red, orange, & yellow) in the Group Avatar. I also added the colors tan and brown. Usually, they are warm colors also and go nicely with the other three.

Wallpapers in the colors mentioned above are welcome. The colors can be in combinations, or have an emphasis on 1 color.

A couple of groups have singled out red as their main color. I haven't seen groups for orange or yellow. Do you enjoy yellow and orange based wallpapers? Voila! You now have a place to put them-- (along with your red walls, of course.)

Please try to keep cool hues (blue, green & purple) out of what you submit as much as possible. The primary purpose of this group is to keep the warm colors on center stage.

Nature wallpapers often have cool colors ocurring in them naturally. (The first discussion in this group is all about that.)

I tend to favor the cool colors over the warm ones. I think that many people do. I think this will make the warm group challenging, and a lot of fun!!! :D

Wallpaper Description:

Earlier this month, I went to one of my favorite nature places with my camera. I got many nice photos; birds, squirrels, deer, snow along pathways... But I was also delighted to discover something new; a StoryWalk. :)

A StoryWalk® is a book that has been laminated and presented page by page along a nature trail, bike path, or in store windows to encourage both reading and exercise. They were invented by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont in 2013. (This is the 3rd one I've seen; the other two were also along nature paths.)

The story they chose for this path was "A Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats. He both wrote and illustrated this book. In 1963 he received the Caldecott Medal for his exqusite collage artwork.

I absolutely love the pictures. I think I photographed every one of them! I wasn't planning to upload any of them to Desktop Nexus... but when I realized what a perfect fit the snow covered traffic light would be in my Traffic Signals nSigns Group, I couldn't resist! :D

PS. The snowflake with the question "Can you make tracks in the snow?" is not part of the original illustration. The people who created the StoryWalk put questions on every signpost to make the trail more interactive.


PPS. One of the reasons that I like this particular traffic light is that it's the style of light I saw when I was growing up. In my humble opinion, they are classier looking than the ones used today.
 
Here's a link to a wallpaper of the newer kind of traffic light so you can compare them side by side:

PPPS. I did manage to find and photograph an older style traffic light in my area last summer. It isn't a "complete light" but it was the only one that I could find. Here is the link to it:
