This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Delicate Colours.
This week’s prompt came from Ann-Christine and was giving me some difficulty. I had a couple of ideas for the challenge, neither of which I was really happy with. Then I realised that the two photos I was thinking of were taken over 40 years apart, one in the 1970s and one in the 2010s.
So I decided to fill in the blank decades with a photo from each decade.
1970s. Autumn Beech trees in the mist.
1980s. A male Eurasian Bullfinch feeding on seed heads in a hay field.
1990s. Sandhill Cranes flying to roost at sunset in the autumn.
2000s. Chantry Island and its lighthouse through mist at sunrise.
2010s. A mist shrouded Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment at sunrise.

Especially loved your closing image David
Thanks Tina. The first and last photos were the two I wanted to use. Then it was just a matter of coming up with a theme.
All beautifully dreamy.
Thanks Susan. The mist helps with the dreamy aspect. I did briefly consider trying to find a photo with mist for each decade but thought that would be too repetitive.
Wow. Beautiful photos, innovative selection. Nice!
Thanks John. I tried for variety in my selection. Digitising my slide archives helped as 4 of the 5 are film shots.
Truly beautiful!
Thanks Amy. Having decided to go with a photo a decade I didn’t know what I would use for some decades but I ended up with a varied selection.
A delicate gallery, David – beautifully soft…and my soft spot is the Bullfinch in the field. Summery, and looks just like home to me.
Thanks Ann-Christine. The Bullfinch is a favourite but I didn’t have a good digital copy until the winter so I was waiting for an opportunity to use it.

Lovely selection!
Thanks Sue. Unusually, if someone has commented on their favourite I think they have all picked a different photo. Normally there’s one or two more popular than the rest.

Beautiful photos – love the mist over the water and in the trees 🙂
Thank you. That was one of the shots I decided to build the post around.
The colours are calming.
Regards, Teresa
Thanks Teresa. Calming colours was one of the things I was looking for when I made my selection.
Amazing selection! Beautiful!
Thank you.
wow, nailed it. I love how you used the fog and mist to get the delicate effect.
Thanks. I did consider going with all fog and mist images for the challenge but thought it may be a bit repetitive.
Creative fun. I love seeing the interpretations of others.
