Welcome to the Sunday Stills Monthly Colour Challenge hosted by Terri Webster Schrandt
The prompt this month is white and pastels.
Pastel painted skies


A digitised image of a frosty scene.

I don’t know what the plant on the left is, it was taken while I was out and about somewhere, on the right is a pretty pink hebe flower.


I’m not sure if this is one cottage or two, situated in a pretty Cheshire village.

A gorgeous hydrangea and a macro shot of a phalaenopsis


This wooden, nine-legged lighthouse is a well known landmark in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. It was built in 1832 and is now a Grade II Heritage listed structure. The lights were inactive between 1969-93 but were reestablished at the year end of 1993 and are still in use.

From my front window during the winter, and a magnolia bud just opening.


And lastly another digitised image, this time the lovely town of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire.

Splendid images, Cathy. Love those old cottages. Both doors are white, so perhaps it’s just one?

Thanks, Suzanne 🙂 Yes, it could well be one cottage, probably more likely than not.

Thank you 🙂 I hadn’t either, it could be a one off.

I love the filtered version of the last image, Cathy, with the pastels and impressionist feel. Lovely to see your flowers as well, but oh that lighthouse is totally amazing to see! Spring looks like it arrived in your area!

Thanks, Terri. I think that lighthouse must be a one-off!
I really thought spring had arrived, yesterday was beautiful, wall to wall sunshine…today is cold, grey and drizzly. No accounting for weather!

Yes! my magnolias are in full bloom right now. so pretty but I have them all wrapped up to protect from the deer who have tried to destroy the little bush (supposed to be a tree) more than once. Also, looking at the lighthouse–not sure it could stand up to a fierce storm(?).

My magnolia is still qite small but no deer so it should be safe 😉 The lighthouse is on the coast of the Bristol Channel (between Wales and England) so it probably misses the worst of the storms.

Cathy, you have some beautiful pictures here. Your digitized frosty shot is breathtaking. My other favorites are the pastel hydrangea and the macro phalaenopsis.

Ah…such breathtaking photos you chose for the prompt. The small white buds look like a White Spirea flower to me, but I could be wrong as I’m no expert on flowers. 🙂

Thanks so much, Shelley. I think it’s most likely to be Spirea, I did the google camera thing and that came up.

As always, lovely work, Cathy! Every single shot is gorgeous and interesting, but my favorite is the lighthouse on legs! I’ve never seen anything quite like that. Thanks so much for sharing, and hope the rest of your week is wonderful! 😊❤️
