I am surrounded by colours, especially warm colours, and that is the way I want it. It keeps me going and makes me warm at heart as well.
Colors are the smiles of nature.
– Leigh Hunt
In my garden, there are many colours, and I love to stick my head (and lens) in the multitude of blooms during summer. That is just what I did in the header photo…
This week Egidio starts by inviting us to look at our photos or capture new images showing how warm colors appear in our world and their emotional significance to us.
Down to the tiniest plant and fruit, their colours make me smile. This sensual spindle fruit makes me think of Love.
And, talking about love, my furry dogs have all been wearing warm colours. I constantly need to touch their softness and feel their warm breath in my face. Here’s Milo – unconditional love in warm chocolate brown.
What more do we need? Well, food is mostly wearing warm colours – have you ever thought about that? And how we love to have dinner at warm candle light. It makes us relax and enjoy both food, drink and company.
Autumn might not be the warmest season, but by far its colours are, so the last fiery goodbye to summer is – a warm hug. And at least here in the Scandinavian countries, this is much needed to make us stronger when winter darkness holds us in a tight grip.
To me, buildings feel more inviting in yellow and red than in any other colours. If you visit Denmark, for example, you will find many yellow and red houses, and that goes for Spain too. I think they emanate warm and welcoming vibes.
What about whole countries? Morocco is a hot country in warm colours – in their interior design as well. This furniture and these saturated colours might be a bit too much for us in an ordinary Swedish room, but in their ”right” place they are perfect.
Finally, a heavenly sunrise and a display a soft, fluffy, warm and lovely scenery outside the plane window – (even if we know how cold it is out there…)
But for my very last choice, we will return to Mother Earth and an unforgettable sunset on sand and sea. Love was in the air and in the golden waves…
Sofia challenged us to think about day and night for last week’s challenge. You responded with so many wonderful interpretations with great variety and creativity! Please join us next week too when Anne introduces a new challenge.

As I scrolled through your photos, holding my warm cup of coffee, I felt all warm and cozy. Despite it being winter for us, you were able to capture & share the breathtaking and enchanting vibes of the warmth we see in life when we look for it and embrace it. Well done!
Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed it!
You’re welcome!
Wonderful warm color selections, AC! I’d love to touch your lovely Milo, so sweet. Having dinner at warm candle light, so beautiful,
Thank you, Amy!
Lovely warm photos – Milo is adorable!!
Thank you, Nora. He is still rather adorable, but much bigger!
Such a delicately penned post, Ann-Christine. Isn’t it true how dinner feels so warm and special under candlelight. Ambiance at it’s finest. And I think you are right about the red and yellow buildings bringing warmth and welcome. My favorite photo is the last. A perfect capture of the love felt by the couple on the beach. The warmth brings additional mood to an already tender moment.
Thank you, Donna. That last photo is a bit what I am longing for now…More snow and cold winds and more than 2 months to spring. Even Milo wants to snuggle up in my bed.
Thank goodness for snuggles.
♥
Sighing with satisfaction. You have warmed me up, Ann-Christine.
I thought you were always warm! Well, thank you😄
🤣🩷
As always, I love all of your photographs. The still life table setting looks like a romantic setting for the upcoming Valentine’s dinner.
The Morrocon living area looks inviting. I feel like I could sit with a cup of tea and chat with friends all afternoon.
Lovely selections, Ann-Christine. This was a marvelous challenge this week by Edigio.
Isadora 😎
Fabulous warm colors! The last one is my favorite.
Thank you, and yes…that is what we are longing for now!
Oh these are marvelous warming colors. I kept saying, this is my favorite as I scrolled through 😀
And your flowers and sky are just as warm!
There’s a lot of love in this post, Ann-Christine! And coziness, and warmth. Just what I needed, thank you!
♥ Thank you, Sofia!
Beautiful choices as always Ann-Christine. Your yellow and red house reminded me of how much I loved those colors when visiting the South of France. Not sure why we’ve never adapted them here, they are so warm and inviting! Milo is so precious, I’m with Egidio, I’d be burying my face in his soft fur too!! And as usual your flower portrait is lovely – you DO have a way with them! Loved the post from start to finish.
Thank you so much, Tina – and I loved yours!
Lovely collection of warm tones, I agree with you about the warm colored building in many of the southern countries. Milo is lovely, the brown tone is soft and absolutely inviting to touch
Thank you, Ritva. Milo is for sure the warmest one here…♥
These are all fabulous Ann-Christine! Milo looks adorable, the table setting is beautiful and I love that Moroccan interior – I agree, it wouldn’t work everywhere but in the right setting it is so inviting!
Thank you, Sarah – and the table was also set in Morocco. Delicious food!
A wonderful gallery. You do both warm and cool colours so well.
Thank you, Margaret. And I prefer the warmer ones!
Beautiful tour of land,sky and everything in between 🙂. Perfect shot for the ending!
Thank you, PR!
Wonderful gallery, particularly the one of Milo
Well, he is a charmer…
Clearly
beautiful photos, Ann-Christine! Milo ❤
Milo!♥
Wonderful set of photos. I found that dinner table the most impressive: a wonderfully balanced low-light photo.
Thank you, I.J, and we had a warm and tasty pot of food that night.
So many great photos Ann-Christine. I love the sunshine above the clouds and the sunset on the beach. The sensual spindle fruit is amazing.
How could I not love Milo 🥰
My boy ♥
Welcoming energy— Love 💕
Thank you kindly!
Ann-Christine, what a journey you took us with the amazing photos in this post! You took time to cover a lot of ground with a variety of stunning images. Milo is so adorable. I can see why you want to touch him and feel his softness. The dinner table and fall colors emanate lots of warmth. Also, the same goes for the architectural images you shared. Come to think of it, I also like yellows and reds in homes. Finally, the sunrise and sunset are stunners! What a great post! Thank you for joining and sharing these images.
Thank you, Egidio – and thank you for a stunning start!
lovely subject studies for the warm colors theme! i can think of only a few things better than a warm candlelight dinner with friends and loved ones. your ocean sunset photo is gorgeous!
