Exercise #191 - Pretty, Pretty Turquoise

What things are turquoise? Make a list.

Stefers the Great Factoid: Turquoise is my absolute favorite color. Hands-down. I don't know what it is; there's something so calming, yet so vivid about it. It's almost like it has some sort of secret, like it's saying, "The blue part of me implies demureness and quietness, but the green part suggests fervor and vivacity." Love it.

1,2,3, GO!

Turquoise is turquoise (duh).
on a really fortuitous day, the Cancun ocean
the scarf hanging on my bedroom door
about 50% of my clothes, underwear included
the turquoise-browed Motmot (It's a real bird. Google it.)

You know... I really can't think of anything else that is turquoise.

I mean, you can always make things turquoise, but then this list would be endless.

the wall
the desk
the shelf
the cat
my foot
etc...

When you think about it, very few things actually show up in nature that are the color of turquoise (besides the turquoise-browed Motmot, of course).

Can you think of anything? Leave your ideas in the comments area below!

Peace.
Stef.

The stone turquoise, which I think is where the color name comes from?

The sky on just the right kind of day.....I always vowed to make myself a dress out of fabric the color of the sky.

I saw some fish in the National Aquarium over the weekend that were turquoise. And translucent turquoise at that. Very cool.

That's about it for my list :)

Soft Things

Exercise #105 : "Soft Things" Make a list of soft things. GO!!! This should be easy enough, shouldn't it?

"Yellow List"

Exercise #83 : "Yellow List" What things are yellow? Make a list. At the end of the five minutes, note the three you find most curious. Ah, yellow. One of my least favorite colors. I mean, it's nice and all, but there are so many versions of this color that are simply eye-raping. Anyways, on with the list. Things That Are Yellow: bananas school buses yellow bell pepper tennis balls Post Shredded Wheat boxes (see right) lemons canaries the middle traffic light traffic lines the sun cheddar cheese hay corn butter cabs #2 pencils grapefruit raincoats (stereotypical ones, anyway) bees squash yellow jackets (I HATE those things!) the yolk of an egg scrambled eggs or an omelet peanut M&Ms the Simpsons various flowers rubber duckie etc... So that's my list of yellow things! :) The most curious? Well... I'll go with... but none of those are curious! That's silly. Check back later today for my 5th Character Profile on Nolan Ha
