Today I move into colour - big time WinkWinkWink
v1 the gate is still in place but half the fence has been removed
v2 the gate is relocated and there is a move from numbers to letters
I have of course used a colour burn to both shots to make the colours sing SmileSmile
Thanks for looking

So many memories... This is wonderful, Helen. I like the oblique composition, it hints at more.

So you took up the challenge with the hopscotch squares.
Great take. Good to see the colour returning too.

Whoa, there Helen! I can't keep up with this. Gates and fences that first aren't there, then are there, then gate without fence, fence with.....
...numbers that think they are letteres....my head's spinning.WinkGrin

So what is next? Your green, then red then yellow period? Where will it all end...kaleidoscopes?
Hmmm. Perhaps I shouldn't have put that idea in your head...
