Paris by Color (photos)

Good morning

I have started the slow (v slow) process of sorting my many photos into categories which are not merely "by trip". You know how you will see books/posters of "the doors of Rome!" or "fountains of Paris"? Same general idea - I am sorting by colors.

First up is Paris, and I've sorted a few colors already. This one is called "Paris Rouge" and it is various photos of Paris which have a pop of red in them.

I figured y'all may enjoy seeing them.

Nice! Very nice! I like your theme idea - it brings a continuity to the whole set.

LOVED them! So much beauty ♥ Thank you so much for sharing.
One of my (many) favorites were the red bridles on the mules

Very very nice. It's a good idea for a theme, especially for those of us who love color. I look forward to other colors.

I am looking for a photo-hosting site, but reading the fine print is getting me down. Are you happy with flickr?

Thanks everyone! Wow, I already hit over 100 views and I literally just made this set this morning.

It really is a refreshing way to see Paris, isn't it? I usually do them by trip, which is in chron order. At some point I'll get to "subject themes" but that will take a while.

I've also made "slate blue" and "brown", I will post those up later. I've got many more colors to go!

Coquelicot, love flickr! So user friendly, and only 25 bucks a year if memory serves. Unlimited storage.

I loved your "Rouge" set. What a lovely idea for sorting. I long for Paris as I view it through your photo's. Looking forward to your Slate blue and brown set. Planning another trip possibly in mid-July. Have you visited during that time?

Wow Wow Wow.
You have talent.
I can see a trilogy, like the movies: Blue Blanc Rouge.

Love this concept; may have to copycat it on my next trip. You have a great eye for photo design. Really enjoyed these; can't wait for the next part of your rainbow.

You all are really, really kind. There is just something about Paris, isn't there?

It's not that hard to do at all. If anyone is interested I can let you know. It's really just about organization. It helps time wise if you already have your photos on a site like flickr - it's incredibly user friendly.

Lovely. I need a Paris "fix" so badly. Maybe next year. I can hope.
