Collecting Color is a bi-monthly post to share what you’re working on, photographing, DIY-ing, reading or making. Anything goes, as long as it’s colorful, creative and you share a link below.
I’ve been slacking on photography, but recently, we trekked as a family to Mystic, Connecticut, for a bi-annual lobster treat. We visit Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough twice a year – once to kickoff summer and one more time to mark the end of it. The seagulls have no shame and you need to protect your food at your picnic table with valor and bravery. I snapped this photo before our food was ready, so my hands would be free to enjoy a lobster roll in peace. Love all the blues and whites and the accidental bokeh in the image.
