Mar 28: Pastel by bulldog

Mar 28: Pastel

It's getting late and I have been trying to think of something to do for todays pic all night, but you have to draw the line at some point.

Three things I have learnt today:
1. Don't trust the wife to buy Fruit Pastels while out shopping (especially if you didn't ask her to)
2. Rise of the Guardians is a brilliant film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPLiBxhoug0
3. There is only one day to go for you to add your words to the Label-4-April-Words challenge: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/17107/label-4-april-words
Wonderful shot!

It may be late but you have a great image - it works really well.
March 28th, 2013  
I think it's a great image. Not everyone would have pastels just hanging around.
March 28th, 2013  
Sorry I did not chat when you popped round @cally I was engrossed in 'Rise of the Guardians'
Be careful with that lens....

1. Seems we had the same idea with the crayons
2. I've already contributed my words to the Label-4-April list
3. This is a great shot

But these are not fruit pastels? Not making those marks! A very good idea, presentation and background!
March 28th, 2013  
Excellent chalk, well done!
March 28th, 2013  
I love the way you think about shots..... i am hoping to follow your word challenge for April... what do I have to do?
March 28th, 2013  
the colour of these chalks is great - really vibrant :)
March 28th, 2013  
great photo - love the colours and shapes and, of course, the pastels...

You don't have to do anything Donna. It's meant to just give us all some inspiration.
- Some people do every word on the right day
- Some people do some of the words on some days
- Some people just use the word list when they need some ideas
It does not matter, just tag them 'apr2013' once the comp is open, on the 1st April.

Great shot and the colours look great surrounded by black

Wow, thank you all for your comments. I was not expecting any for this pic but had to post something.

Two things that 365 has made me do:
- I have taken a photo every day since Jan 1st 2012
- I have done the challenge word every day since Aug 2012
(God I'm Sad)

I'm impressed that you have done a challenge word every single day for eights months! I only do the ones I like (or can find a shot for!) The list is a great help when you're struggling for ideas, so thanks for organising it each month :)
March 28th, 2013  
I love the colours on the black! :)
March 28th, 2013  
Love it! Ive also gone for colours on black today :)
March 28th, 2013  
Lovely! Those pastels look so good against the black background! Love the angle and the lighting too. Great shot!
March 28th, 2013  
Creative shot for pastel. I like those colors.
March 28th, 2013  
@bulldog No worries! I think Eldest Pup was rather tired anyway.

Of course I will be careful! Intending to steal it anyway, so I want it in fully working order - mine now! :D
March 28th, 2013  
Great shot - love the black backgorund - def Fav!!

I have done the challenge word every day since I started Jan 1st 2013 - I can't believe it was day 87 today!! I am really enjoying the challenge as it does make you think outside the box on some days when the word is really obscure!! I love to see everyone elses interpretation of the word. Great fun!!
March 28th, 2013  
Great colors!
March 28th, 2013  
Fab shot :)
March 28th, 2013  
Great idea - and thanks for the reminder! :)
March 28th, 2013  
Cool shot. Great colors. Nice color contrast with the black background.
March 28th, 2013  
clean and textured all at once . . . nice

Meg
great shot of the pastels against black
March 29th, 2013  
I guess these are the neon versions of pastel! I like them- especially on the black background! I've been doing monthly challenges for so long now, I don't remember when I started!
March 29th, 2013  
Very good shot for today. I love the way your mind works. Your composition is always so good. I think when I get stuck, I'll just go back over your calendar thumbnails for ideas.

I really like this shot! Nicely done, sir. . .in spite of your lack of a trustworthy shopping assistant. . .
March 29th, 2013  
fabulous...
March 29th, 2013  
Wonderful shot! but were are the little men ?
March 29th, 2013

March 29th, 2013  
Clever shot with the contrast against the black. Really effective!
March 29th, 2013  
This is very pretty!! (And I liked your last sentence "...you have to draw the line...). Great! :) So bright and beautiful.
March 29th, 2013  
Bet there was tension in the Bulldog household for a bit last evening! You saved the situation brilliantly!
March 29th, 2013  
I love this! Fav... such neatly drawn lines too! :)
March 29th, 2013  
Great shot! I'm amazed that you've done the challenge word every day since August, don't the same words start cropping up?
March 29th, 2013  
Not often. I think Rainbow and Red are the only two I remember.

@kjarn
March 29th, 2013

Love the colors and completely agree about Rise of the Guardians.
March 30th, 2013  
@bulldog Wondering if you meant "be careful with that lens" as in "be careful as it has a habit of taking more photos when you aren't looking". Only 800 photos to go through from yesterday....
March 30th, 2013  
Ha ha ha - Where did you go, or should we wait and see?
@cally
March 30th, 2013  
@bulldog :D It may be a long wait!
March 30th, 2013
