Photo challenge #102.....'Shades of Brown'. It's time for another color challenge, and this time of year there are lots of browns around, especially in nature. I tend to think of beige being a shade of brown, so you can use the whole gamut of browns. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

~ Take as many pics as you want, share the few you like best.

~ Again - HAVE FUN
My photo was taken at the back of my yard, where there is an abandoned garden, that still has some herbs and weeds growing in it. I love the different shades of brown here.

Oh goodness - I was just thinking about colour challenges and how we hadn't had one for a while, and trying to remember what colours we had done. I always find them difficult but I think I already have an idea for this one!
Your photo looks just like one stretch when we walk along the canal...it's not as pretty as summer, but I think there's beauty to be seen here too.

Not what I am planning, just snapped these on my way down to the local shops.
I like the block shape of the hedge and the tree - should have moved back to get the tip of the tree, but I was already standing in the middle of the road.
And a detail of the hedge.
Great shot of the hedge. You also caught a variety of browns in the brick wall and roof of the building.
I was travelling on the freeway yesterday and saw so many browns along the side of the road, but of course, I couldn't stop!

Here is one of the two photos I had in mind. It's too cold for the other one, which would require rooting through my wool chest in a very cold room.
My cupboard is always well stocked with different grades of chocolate - here we have a 30% cocoa one, and a 60% and an 81% .
Well, on one of the rare occasions that I had my smaller camera with me, I came across this in an empty lot. I have no idea what desert plant that is but it's a bit strange looking.
Sabrina! How could you??? I've been trying so hard to limit my intake of sweets this week, and then you post a photo of enticing chocolate! Great shot BTW!
Audrey, I love your photos. That is indeed an unusual plant.....reminds me of pineapple.
Sharon, welcome. Great to see you on here. I'll be waiting for your photos. Anyone can post a photo on any of the challenges at any time.....no time limits!

The yarrow looks a whole lot prettier than my snow-capped sunflowers - I didn't even keep the shot. I love bare plants in the winter. You've reminded that I have a couple from a trip to a castle garden in early December.

Inspired by seeing Melissa's yarrow:
I don't really like hydrangeas, but I spent a long time looking at these dead ones when I was in Birr in early December.
I went to the zoo yesterday and this is my shades of brown though I really think it should be in the C challenge for Cutest ever. I have never ever seen a bunny this tiny, especially in the "wild". Hes was probably about the size of a baseball, so tiny, adorable and cute.
Sabrina, I showed your bare beauty photo to my daughter, the photographer. She thought it was awesome (so do I!)
Audrey, that bunny is so cute and cuddly. I do like rabbits, but they make an awful mess of my gardens! They love my early tulips and have totally destroyed all of my hybrid lilies, so I don't grow them anymore. the tulips are decreasing each year because of the damage, but I am letting them grow, for a treat for the bunnies when there isn't much else to eat.
WOW! some awesome shots from everyone! The baby bunny is adorable! Sabrina I love the bare beauty and the bird is sweet. Melissa I love that the snow is piled so high on the brown foilage that it looks like it will fall over any minute.
