Let me know which you prefer and why.
Pens:
Saturation is color purity pushed to its limits. It is the container overly full with glorious brightly stained surfaces.
In the Lens section are moments of saturation. Colors are intense. The mind blazes with hues that burst with joy. On each of these days the light was casting its brilliance, making its landing with more than its usual flare.
When the light show displays such complexity of color, we are drawn to it. We are compelled to study a scene that might not ordinarily catch our eye. The totality of saturation or a part of it simply moves us to stop and consider what is before us.
Note: As always I welcome any comment about this post or any part of my blog.
Lens and Pens by Sally 
I liked both, they are so different from each other but fascinating.
I appreciate your comment and visit.
Yeah, the blue door for sure. Love how it contrasts with the red bricks of the floor. Superbly done!
Thanks, I appreciate your comment.
I love the blue doors and bricks. I must be a door fan, because normally a landscape would be my choice. I also like the patterns on the windows.
Thanks so much.
Love, love, love the blue door!
Erica, many thanks.
Love the blue door with a rustic feel. Seem to lead to something amazing. The creek, a perfect place to unwind. Have a great week!
Enjoy your week, and see you soon. Thanks.
Love that blue door!
Thank you.
Sally: The Blue Door gets my vote. I love door shots and when they’re blue, even more so. Great use of the shadows cast across the brickwork, too. Nicely done!
Thank you, see you soon.
I like the door; it’s simple and direct. Good shot, Sally!
I appreciate your comment.
The shade of cobalt paint on the doors reminds of the wine glasses that I’ve always wanted to own. Its so rich and reminds me of how beautiful they would look on the table.
Elisa, hope that you can fulfill that wish. Thanks.
first picture grabs the attention 🙂 nice clicks
Amar, thanks.
Definitely the door, the blue is outstanding. The lighter planes of glass and the mottle brick perfect compliments.
I appreciate your common.
The blue door, of course!
Thank you.
Gorgeous! I love the saturated blue my favorite color!
Nicole, thanks.
I am with the ‘blues’ too; the colour is so gloriously intense.
Yes, it drew me into its intensity. Thanks.
Have to agree with the door being the one that drew me in. Julie and I saw some lovely doors in San Francisco on Tuesday. You can imagine our progress….walk, walk, take a photo, walk, take a bunch of photos, walk some more. It was great and we had a blast.

You are in the city of golden opportunities. Enjoy every moment. Thanks
I’m joining the blue door crowd, love that color, but I also really like the subtle shades in the creek. Nice choices for this challenge.
thanks, see you soon.
Incredible blue door, well done.
I appreciate your comment. Thank you.
Sally, that top picture is sensational-that blue is gorgeous!
Thank you so much.
Love the blue door! I read somewhere that a blue door signifies that a nubile young woman resides within!
Really, well it caught my attention. Thanks.
I love the blue door! because of the blue and the door is always a good sign of getting somewhere! but the reds in the second picture are also very enticing. Great shots, Sally! as usual… 😀
Hope that you care enjoying your stay in the USA. Thanks so much.
I like the first one. Great blue, and nice job managing the shadows and light in this image.
John, thank you so much.
I like blue…more is better. So it’s a no-brainer…photo #2. ha, ha. I jest, of course. #1…all the way! 😆
Thank you, on another day I when not have noticed it. But the sun helped to draw me into its beauty.
I prefer the 1st one for its colour and composition.
Thank you, and enjoy your weekend.
I love the blue door shot, really great shade of blue and photo
Thank you for your comment and visit.
Love the saturated blue of the doors!
Thank you, it certainly caught my attention.
The first one is awesome!
Thank you so much.
