Searching for ROY G BIV: Brown



We have come to the end of the rainbow. (Hmmmm.... where's that pot of gold?) Luckily, our blog hop hostesses, Julie B Booth and Jennifer Coyne Qudeen, have not let that end our search; this month's color is brown.


The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River was the color of cafe-au-lait after torrential rains...



... as was the Cumberland River right below the Falls.



I love the character of this old building in Richmond, Virginia.



 Our cabin out on the Kinniconick Creek as we put on the cedar clapboard....



Beautiful hand-made chairs at the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen Gallery in Berea, Kentucky.



Gorgeous inlaid/carved wood piece at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.  Unfortunately, I didn't take note of the artist's name.


I hope you enjoyed my browns. To see what other bloggers have in store, go to Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's or Julie B Booth's blogs for a list of links!

  1. Love your cabin in the woods and that carved/inlaid wooden piece is so rich in detail.
    There's something so warm and comforting about wood, would love a couple of those chairs to sit in and stare at the mountains.

  3. Wow! You've posted shots from 2 of my old stomping grounds - Berea and DC. Making me homesick for both. The shots of the Cumberland River and the falls are wonderful. Been a long time since I last visited those. Enjoy!

    1. Jennifer, I can tell from reading your blog that you travel a lot; hopefully you'll get to visit DC and Berea again soon.

  4. You've accentuated the "ish-ness" of brown, beautifully.

    1. Thank you Tammie! Yes, there had been several storms so the brown water was because of mud, not pollution. xox

  8. A great post on 'brown'. Where I live me have a river like that - we call it the Mighty Muddy Fraser!

    1. Thanks so much! The Big South Fork and the Cumberland are not usually brown, it was just due to heavy rains. Normally they're a lovely shade of green-blue.
