The past couple of weeks, Cee has been posting different songs to inspire those joining the CFFC Challenge.
This week’s song is by Whitney: “Greatest Love of All”
The lines that inspired this post:
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside

Self reacts emotionally to colors. Red is a definite trigger.

Oh, self had fun this morning, searching through her garden for any red blooms. There were a few choices, but the ones that photographed best were geraniums. In her archives, there was this sweet little mini-Cooper parked in front of Horn Barbecue in Oakland.
Self is throwing in a Calder from last spring’s Calder/Picasso at the de Young Museum.
Thanks so much to Life in Colour for hosting this challenge.
Stay safe, dear blog readers. Stay safe.

Self still playing catch-up on the Photographing Public Art Challenge, co-hosted by Cee Neuner and Marsha Ingrao, which she adores.
She just completed a road trip to the Central Coast. She loves doing road trips because it’s a break from the unrelenting heat in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The color this month is RED.
There are some intense reds in host Travel Words’ gallery.
Since self is currently on a road trip to the Central Coast, she decided to take pictures from the places she visited today:
Thai-rrific, 208 Higuera St., San Luis Obispo
Outdoor Mural, Pismo Beach
‘Twas foggy this morning, on Pismo Beach.
None of these reds are truly eye-popping. She took all these pictures today. She’s happy she decided to go to Pismo Beach early, before the crowds.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Skimming! Whoa, self is skimming!
Story #50, The Hump, is by Fernan Caballero (1796-1877), a Spanish writer who self has never heard of. Her real name was Cecilia Bohl de Faber and she wrote about Andalucia, “although she was not raised there.”

Photo Challenges are where it’s at!
Jude’s Travel Words blog has selected RED as the Life in Colour challenge for August.
Here are some reds from around her home, and one from Nikko’s Mexican Grill on El Camino Real (near Whipple Ave.). Love their burritos.
