Day #49, 50 & 51: colors!

Ok people, my life has been crazy busy the past few days and last night when I wanted to blog, I was so exhausted I fell a sleep watching TV on the couch around 20.00... I did woke up at 21.30, but all I could think of was sleeping and so I went to bed. I can tell you it felt great! I did took my photos each day, but since I went out every night I decided to take my photos at daycare.

So let's start with Day #49 and the color was RED! This is the fire alarm thing.... Not sure how to call it, the only thing I know is that we need to break the glass whenever there's a fire!Day#49Some little facts about the color RED: -1. In human color psychology, red is associated with heat, energy and blood, and emotions that "stir the blood", including anger, passion, and love. -2. Fire is also strongly connected with the color red, as is the sun and the sky at sunset. -3. Mars is called the Red Planet because of the reddish color imparted to its surface by the abundant iron oxide present there. -4. Oxygenated blood is red due to the presence of oxygenated hemoglobin. -5. Red catches people's attention, and is often used either in a negative way to indicate danger and emergency, or in a positive way in advertising to gain more viewers, or in nature, as a ripe fruit announces its readiness with its red color. -6. Red is one of the most common colors used on national flags throughout the world. -7. Here in Holland we have a pop group called RED! This group was made through last years tv show called: popstars -8. The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing.

Then on to Day #50 (made it this far! :)) and the color is: Purple. Yesterday I checked the face paint palette (we call it :smink) to see if we needed some new colors, cause Carnaval is near...Day#50So what is there to say about PURPLE:  -1. Purple is a general term for the range of shades of color occurring between red and blue. -2. In human color psychology, purple is associated with royalty, regality, and nobility. -3.

Anyone may wear purple on Saturdays and anyone born on a Saturday may adopt purple as their color. -5. People with purple auras are said to have a love of ritual and ceremony.

Today is Day #51 and the color is blue! A photo of this little blue car... I thought it would be fitting since the kids wanted to sing the song : ' little blue car' (officially it's 'little red car', but we change the song to all kinds of colors, but today they only wanted blue!) a lot today...Day#51 All about BLUE: -1. Blue is also one of three of the  primary colors. -2. The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. -3. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. -4.

In ancient Rome, blue was worn by the public servants, thus marking the beginning of the idea for today's police uniforms. -6. Owls are the only birds who can see the colour blue. -7.

Keep up the great work.....how many colors can you name?
My favorite explanation is still about yellow taxis, as those are my favorite. But I love the color purple! It's a beautiful color, and a great shot.
