Chalk Time

I found the Chalk bucket in the boat shed today. I don't know what my fascination is with chalk but I quite like it! It felt like spring today. We cut the grass and roasted hot dogs on the beach for dinner. Our first time this year.
I'm a sucker for colored chalk and you had me at Crayola! Beautiful shot! Fav'ing cuz I still color! Yes, you heard me. Coloring is a great stress-reliever! :-)))))

Chalk makes my mouth go all dry and I shudder involuntarily! The squeaking as it went down the blackboard is never to be forgotten!

We love sidewalk chalk here, too! I can't wait to buy a tub of it once we get some warm weather. The kids love to decorate the driveway - and I like to help. I love this shot!

beautiful composition

An excellent shot... the colors and composition are lovely. If you don't mind, what is the background surface that you are using? It is really pretty.

@rosiekerr The tub is sitting on our concrete driveway.

You have quite the selection of wonderful "finds" in your boat shed!! Love the colorful chalk!!
March 7th, 2015  
Love those colours! Just want to reach out, grab one and get to work on your driveway!

Oh, I need to cut the grass too! Except I have to buy a lawn mower first - we are still completing the contents of our house and garden. However this morning it's first on our shopping list! Lovely capture of chalk in all sizes and colours.

Lovely soft tones, you always find them! :)

Great contrast against the concrete.

Even when I don't know they're your shots, I love them, then I see your name and say "of course!". Saw this on the trending page. Love the colors, tones and simplicity.

Nice! I love the colours. I love the look of chalk too.

You are getting an early spring -- roasting hot dogs on the beach sounds so idyllic.

Sidewalk chalk just goes with warm weather! Sounds like you all had a nice day. Lovely colors and composition.
March 7th, 2015  
Love the tones.

It probably reminds you of childhood. Such a nice picture would make anyone want to play with chalk!
March 7th, 2015  
I would have cut my grass, but it's still under 8" of old snow. :-) Come on, Spring! (love the tones and textures, here!)
March 7th, 2015  
Love the colors and tones and textures! VERY envious that you're feeling like spring!
March 7th, 2015  
The colors pop right out of the screen in an otherwise neutral background. Well shot!
March 7th, 2015  
Sounds like a lovely day. Love the chalks.
March 7th, 2015  
Looks like someone's about to have a lot of fun with the chalk!
March 7th, 2015  
Very cool.
March 7th, 2015  
Funny I love chalk too......I have no idea why but a blackboard & chalk is one of the most spessential things in my kitchen! When I bought the blackboard from a house sale a large box of chalks came with it....we still haven't used them all twelve years later!
March 7th, 2015  
Nice shot. Did you use the chalk to draw something
March 7th, 2015  
Great pov and texture Kim!
March 7th, 2015

So fresh and simple. Great.

March 7th, 2015  
That sounds nice. And I love the bucket of chalk with its mutted pastels, I could set about and do some pavement sketching if I was any good!!
March 7th, 2015  
Love all the colors and your processing is fab!
March 7th, 2015  
Lovely pastel shades, cool find

That boat shed is a treasure trove of photo opportunities! I like chalk for its pastel colors. They feel springy to me.
March 7th, 2015  
Great find - lovely shades and composition
March 7th, 2015  
Great find and capture of those lovely colors. Cool to get you dinner on the beach. To cold for that here.
March 7th, 2015  
Love the color, texture, light and comp of this. Would love to see some of your artwork with chalk. Your day sounds fabulous. Our west coast is having such lovely weather, aren't we? I feel a bit guilty (just a bit though)
March 7th, 2015
