For this month’s 10 on 10 I want to share a collection of images from our recent trip to New York City with you. I’ve shared many images from the trip on my blog and in on social media sites, but most of these will be new to you, I hope.

My youngest son turned 6 in January. He loves all things numbers, and over the last year or so that has translated into a love of big buildings: how tall they are, how many floors they have, when they were built… it’s an all-round fascination with numerical facts. He has a real love of learning and thirst for knowledge, these facts light him up! Back in October at his first parent-teacher conference his Kindergarten teacher asked if it was true that we would be taking him to the Empire State Building for his birthday. I had mentioned it to him once, a vague possibility when the thought popped into my head, but he’d clearly taken to heart and after telling all his friends there we simply had to go! (He has since told his class that we’re moving to Dubai… because of the Burj Khalifa, obviously… which FYI is NOT happening).

So off we went to (a desperately cold) NYC!

Walking, So Much Walking

Restricting my share to 10 was SO hard this month but I think heart strings and artistic stings have found an adequate balance this time!

It’s Share Six blog circle time again. These months seem to fly by with increasingly more speed!

This month we’re looking at {Colour} or {Color} (depending on your nationality and/or location). It’s such a great theme for this time of year, and I hope it helps you, as it does for me on this unusually grey day, to look beyond the winter skies, the snow and the ice. Whether you focus on a multitude of colour or a single colour pop, the possibilities are endless. I can’t wait to be cheered through the depths of winter by the colourful happiness that will flood the Share Six FB wall and IG feed!

My images this month were all taken in January: a trip to New York City, my favourite flowers, a sunrise and a sunset. That makes up a little bit of everything and they cover a little bit of everything colourful too: some abstract, some less so; some pop, some mishmash, some gentle softness of blush. What type of colour is your favourite?

Statue of Liberty: reaching for the stars

The colour of Kate Spade’s window display immediately caught my attention, but the reflection of the New York skyline in the window against their gift wrap skyline, made me stop and look a while longer.

A colour theme wouldn’t be complete without a little natural monotone:

Yet again, yes I know, there were more than six. What can I say? I’m an indecisive rule-breaker!

Thank you for joining us for another month at Share Six. Please continue around the circle by clicking HERE. I can’t wait to see how the exceptionally talented Lynne of Lynne Grant Photography interpreted this month’s theme.

Join us for this month’s theme by posting your {colour} images on our Facebook page at SHARE SIX and to our Instagram gallery, by tagging #sharesix and #sharesix_colour or #sharesix_color. A new theme will be posted on 6th March.
